Botox injectors meeting<\/h3>\n

I think in this world the word meeting, course, and program are used interchangeably.<\/p>\n

There was a course offering from a prestigious injection course which is offered in various places nationwide. \u00a0It’s called the Palette Training program for cosmetic injections – and there are several meetings for different levels of injectors and also specialty sections for things such as tear troughs, cannulas and I believe lip augmentation<\/a>. \u00a0There happened to be a higher level course offered in Sacramento. \u00a0Not too far from my location of Modesto, CA.<\/p>\n

Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse<\/h3>\n

The word is neuromodulators – which includes Botox<\/a>, Xeomin, and Dysport. \u00a0It’s less brand specific. \u00a0This was a 4 hour long CME program (I earn credits for continuing medical education). \u00a0The program I selected was led by Dr. Steve Yoelin of San Diego. \u00a0He has a super busy Botox and Juvederm (I mean neuromodulator and filler) practice which I’ve heard is booked for many years. \u00a0I met him before at the Allergan \/ Latisse speaker’s training program – this was a training session which guided us through the slide deck for our talks. \u00a0I was very impressed by him – he was very supportive which I felt made him the perfect teacher. \u00a0While I was on “tour” with my talk for Allergan, I met attendees of my talk who spoke very highly of learning from Dr. Yoelin. \u00a0So I figured that I should check this course out for myself. \u00a0He teaches all levels of injectors and I selected the highest level which was called a level III course. \u00a0I thoroughly enjoyed this course and learned a few tips for my own practice.<\/p>\n

Take home pearls on Lip Augmentation and more<\/h3>\n

I especially appreciated some ideas he gave me for lip augmentation<\/a> and for filling of temples and lateral eye brow areas. \u00a0He did say to use the non-dominant hand to help guide the cannulas in injections.<\/p>\n

Another great tip I learned from the Tiger Woods of cosmetic injectors (at my recent trip to Sacramento): While injecting Juvederm, he said I had great control, but would be able to take it to the next level if I used my non-dominant hand more to drive the direction of the cannula (special needle).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
