Level 3 – Advanced Botox® Course
$3,990.00 CAD + tax
This advanced Botox® training course provides an in-depth analysis of chronic facial pain symptoms and conditions, with a focus on therapeutic Botox® treatment. It also covers advanced applications to reduce the signs of aging in the mid-face, lower face, and neck—including techniques for correcting gummy and canted smiles—as well as treatment for hyperhidrosis.
What you’ll learn
Integrate electromyography (EMG) analytics with therapeutic Botox® treatment to help identify overactive muscles and optimize TMD treatment outcomes. Master advanced injection techniques for the mid-face, lower face/neck, incl. treatment of platysma bands, gummy smile, masseter hypertrophy & more. Understand the role of Botox® in managing myofascial pain & muscular dysfunction, with a focus on evidence-based approaches to complex anatomy.

Course Details
Level 3 is an advanced Botox® course that includes an online didactic section (28 hours & exam), followed by a 2-day clinical session (16 hours) held at select clinics in Vancouver.
The online portion introduces how PTIFAT pioneered mid-face injections and coined the term “Mid Face Expression” (MFE). The use of the Roberts Facial Rejuvenation Photography series allows you to see the lines, creases and folds created by the MFE. Using precise markings, the PTIFAT Injection Technique and low dosage, learn how to control the musculature creating these unwanted infra-orbital lines, naso-jugal grooves, bunny lines, smoker’s lines and nasolabial folds. Habitual subconscious activation of the lower face muscles turns the smile line into a “green bean down” appearance. These expressions blemish the skin with lines that exhibit sadness and depression. In this advanced Botox® course, learn how to turn the smile into a “green bean up” as well as advanced applications including for hyperhidrosis.
Understand how activation of the Platysma musculature accentuates the muscles of the lower face and turns the smile to a “green been down”. In addition, subconscious activation of Platysma enlarges the soft tissue, creating horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and creates the hated anterior, lateral and posterior jowls. The posterior ‘PTIFAT Platysma bands when present, indicate hyper muscular activity indicative of bruxing, grinding, TMD and tension type headache. Learn how sensory input from the head and neck, and how overload of central and peripheral sensitization on the trigeminal nucleus can lead to referred pain.
Advanced Botox® Training: Mastering Therapeutics & Beyond Aesthetics to Comprehensive Patient Care
Transform your practice with advanced Botox® techniques that bridge therapeutic relief and aesthetic outcomes. This comprehensive Botox® course equips you with precision dosing strategies, EMG analytics and anatomical expertise to deliver superior results for both therapeutic and aesthetic patients. Additionally, you will learn:
How higher dosages than those used for aesthetic treatment alone result in reduction of headaches and migraines. A threshold dosage, carefully placed, must be reached in order to obtain therapeutic relief.
How to incorporate EMG analytics when treating your therapeutic patients can assist with determining the muscle activity, dosage, timing and improved records & patient care.
The relationship between the secondary and tertiary mechanisms of action of botulinum toxin and the synergy between aesthetic and therapeutic results. Further understand the relationship between “looking good” and “feeling good”.
How to significantly reduce the amount of dermal filler in the mid-face and lower-face after developing an understanding of how to use advanced levels of botulinum toxin.
How to successfully treatment plan and mark your advanced botulinum toxin patients with confidence, after attending the advanced hands-on anatomy review focusing on the mid-face, lower-face and neck.

2-Day Clinical Session
Day 1: Advanced Anatomy and Integrative Cadaver Lab
Dr. Roberts provides an in-depth review of anatomy focused on the of the mid-face, lower-face and neck. In this integrative skull & cadaver lab, learn how surface features and bony landmarks relate to underlying musculature.
*Please note, you will be anatomically marking up to 15-20 other practitioners, and those practitioners may be marking you as well. The areas are from the coronal suture to the trapezius to the platysma on the chest (pec major).
Understanding the source, pathways and overlap of the cranial nerves provides the foundation for understanding myofacial pain and the synergy that exists between aesthetic and therapeutic botulinum toxin therapy.
Day 2: Clinical Hands-on
Day 2 is an advanced clinical hands-on practicum where you will have the opportunity to inject aesthetic cases focused on the mid-face, lower-face & neck, as well as myofascial pain patients while incorporating EMG analytics.
Understanding the source, pathways and overlap of the cranial nerves provides the foundation for understanding myofacial pain and the synergy that exists between aesthetic and therapeutic botulinum toxin therapy.
