Practice Revenue Opportunity


According to the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons 2017 Plastic Surgery Statistics report, botulinum toxin (ie: Dysport®/Botox®) procedures has grown over 819% from 2000 to 2017.  Are you taking advantage of this expanding market? Learn how you can improve patient care and increase practice revenue with minimal overhead.

On average, a new botulinum toxin patient requires 50-70 units of treatment. At $12 per unit, that visit equals $600-$840 in practice revenue. Seeing only six botulinum toxin patients per month produces approximately $3,600 – $5,040 additional revenue per month.

In one year, six botulinum toxin patients per month will produce a minimum of $43,200 in practice revenue.

Initial Outlay

Tuition Expense:

Total Tuition: $5,894

Supplies Expense:

  • Set-up Tray (syringes, ice packs, saline etc.) $250
  • Cost of botulinum toxin product ($270 – $365 /vial)

Total Cost = $6,414

Physicians will see a complete return on their training investment in less than two months (based on seeing six botulinum toxin patients, not including cost of Dysport/Botox® product). Besides ordering product and incorporating a tray system, offering botulinum toxin as a treatment requires no additional equipment or investment. Upon graduating from Level 2, you will be able to offer both the aesthetic treatments for reducing the signs of aging (ie: fine facial lines and wrinkles), as well as the therapeutic treatments (ie: migraines/headaches).

Testimonials
The PTIFA Botox course is hands down the most thorough and clinically relevant program available for any physician who is considering expanding their skills and services to this field. Students receive a detailed education on theory, pharmacodynamics, technique, and safety protocols required to confidently provide quality care, supplemented by hands-on anatomy lab training relevant to our medical training.  Although the focus is on popular and effective cosmetic treatments, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that common and practical therapeutic Botox applications are also covered. I appreciate the plethora of resources at my disposal from PTIFA for ongoing learning and invaluable support after completing their program. My patients are happy and so am I!

Testimonials
As a physician, I was quite sceptical to have a dentist teach me about Botox... however, by the end of the Level 2 course I felt more than pleasantly surprised, indeed it was the best and most fun CME I have attended in years. I left the weekend just wanting more and more and more.. signed up for Level 3 the next morning.

FAQS

Do these courses satisfy my medical college requirements?
The courses at PTIFA typically exceed the requirements laid out by the medical colleges. However, please appreciate we train practitioners from across the world, and it is up to each participant to contact their local licensing college for scope and guidelines prior to registering.
Can physicians delegate cosmetic injectable services (ie: botulinum toxin, dermal filler) to a nurse?
Typically, yes nurses can provide these services to patients. Please appreciate that PTIFA trains medical graduates from across the world, and that we always recommend that you check-in with your local licensing college for details.
I’m an international graduate. Can I take this course?
Our courses are available to international dental, medical and nursing graduates. However, some of the treatments include the use of prescription medications (ie: botulinum toxin) and require the ability to prescribe and/or administer prescription medications. Please appreciate we train practitioners from across the world and that regulations vary. Please contact the local licensing college within the jurisdiction you plan to practice for details prior to registering.
Do you have a combined botulinum toxin & dermal filler course?
Our educational content is thoughtfully created and structured to allow dental and medical graduates to be successful in achieving predictable results - with little to no side effects. To do this, practitioners require a deep understanding of underlying anatomy, as well as a specific treatment and injection practices that provide the highest level of patient care. Both topics of botulinum toxin (Dypsort®/Botox®) and dermal fillers require ample anatomy-based instruction and clinical hands-on practice. It is not possible to obtain the depth of skill needed to be successful at both in a combined botulinum toxin/dermal filler course.  
I've already taken a Botox® course or have already been doing injections for a while in my practice. Where do I start?
The best way to assess your current level of knowledge and training is to take our free online Botox IQ Test. We have found that typically only 1 in 50 practitioners who have taken another botulinum toxin course can confidently and correctly answer all of the nine questions. As all of our hands-on courses are based in the anatomy taught in the Level 1 course, we require each practitioner to complete Level 1. We invite you to contact us to discuss your involvement and registration.
How are your courses different from others?
PTIFA is an advanced anatomy-based educational provider who has more than 8,000 dentist, physician and nurse alumni around the world. Our graduates have been trained to provide the highest level of patient care in the field. PTIFA’s courses provide an unprecedented depth of clinical teaching in the field of facial rejuvenation with an emphasis on anatomy and evidence-based learning, clinical efficacy and proficiency, as well as complete practice and team integration. We offer a unique educational format that includes a combination of online courses, extensive hands-on clinical experience and an online Support Study Club. You will not find a more comprehensive and anatomy-based injectable course. Many licensing colleges are now adopting our educational curriculum to establish the “Standard of Practice” within their jurisdiction.
How do I integrate botulinum toxin into my practice? Is it different for medical vs. dental practitioners?
The Level 1 and Level 2 curriculum has been uniquely developed to help you successfully integrate botulinum toxin treatment into your practice immediately after taking the course. We understand that incorporating a new treatment modality can be challenging. Our Level 2 graduates can expect to receive all of the training, tools and clinical requirements so that they can begin integrating treatment into their offices immediately after the course.
Can I bring my team to the course?
Yes! We highly encourage you to register your team for the Level 2 – Team Training course. This course is geared specifically for all non-injecting team members within your office (ie: reception, office managers, chair-side assistants, hygienists, etc) and has been developed to so that you can successfully integrate treatment into any medical or dental office.
How much hands-on instruction will I have?
Our goal is to maximize the amount of hands-on experience you have so that you are confident offering treatment back in your own practice after the course. At the Level 2 course, you can expect to inject different 10+ different patients. This is achieved by sharing patient models amongst all practitioners. This allows you to inject multiple tissue types and cases.
I’m currently in medical/dental/nursing school. Can I take this course now?
Yes. As Level 1 is all online, anyone can register for the course.
