🚩Buyer Beware: Fast-Track Injection Classes Aren’t Safe
If you’re seeing Botox & filler “certifications” advertised as an 8-hour crash course… pause. ✋
As an educator with 20 years of teaching experience, including 10 years in a Family Nurse Practitioner program, I can tell you this with certainty…it is impossible to be ready to safely inject neurotoxins after 4 hours of training and it is 100% impossible to safely inject cosmetic fillers after a 4 hour class!
Beginner courses are necessary, but they are just the starting point. To be safe and competent, you need:
✅ In-depth anatomy knowledge
✅ Supervised, hands-on practice
✅ Time to develop clinical judgment & complication management skills
This isn’t about earning a quick certificate. It’s about protecting your license, your patients, and your reputation.
💉 Aesthetic medicine is a specialty. Skills come from training + mentorship + practice, not shortcuts.
👉 Start with the basics. Commit to the process. That’s how you build safety, confidence, and a sustainable career as an injector.

Colorado Springs round 2 💁🏻♀️
One day, two Allergan trainings, and I had the honor of leading both!
Botox + Juvederm magic, long travel, quick turnaround — and totally worth it.
Nothing better than sharing what I love with providers who are ready to learn, grow, and elevate their craft 💉✨

✨ Assisting at the AMI Anatomy Course ✨
Humbled to have been selected to assist at the AMI Anatomy Course — along with fellow AMI Faculty whom I admire deeply, and the incomparable Dr. Sebastian Cotofana.
The best experience started the night before the course, when a few of us had the rare privilege of sitting next to Dr. Cotofana as he performed his work. A true masterclass in anatomy and artistry, We were quizzed, challenged, and completely engaged… all set to a playlist of 90’s gangster rap.
It was an unforgettable experience — not just for the education, but for the energy, the mentorship, and the deep respect shared in that room.
Have you attended a cadaver course?
