Learn from a physician. Inject with confidence.
Weekend certification courses in Botox and neurotoxin, dermal filler and PDO threads. Small cohorts, live models, cadaver anatomy, and private training at your own clinic.
Training built the way physicians learn medicine.
Most certification courses end when the weekend does. Ours is built on anatomy first, supervised hands-on practice, and the option to shadow a physician in a working clinic.
Taught by a physician
Every course, every session, led by a practicing physician in cosmetic medicine. You won't be handed off to a rep or a junior instructor.
Cadaver dissection
Select courses include a physician-guided dissection, so you see the vessels, fat pads and planes you'll be working around.
Shadowing & mentorship
Add a full day in clinic with the physician to any course for $500, and see how a physician-led practice runs.
Small, hands-on cohorts
Limited seats mean more needle time on live models and close supervision at every injection.
From your first unit to full-face balancing.
Start with certification-level foundations, then move into advanced technique. Every track is offered as an in-person weekend in Austin.
Beginner, advanced & weekendBotox & Neurotoxin Certification
Beginner Botox from $999, Advanced Neurotoxin $1,499, or both in one weekend for $1,999.

View course →The anatomy labAnatomy you can see, not just memorize.
Diagrams only take you so far. In our cadaver sessions, a physician walks you through the face layer by layer: the facial and angular arteries, the fat compartments, the retaining ligaments and the planes where product belongs.
Seeing it in person is what makes safer injectors. It's the one experience most weekend courses can't offer.
- Included in Advanced Filler: Lips & Facial Balancing
- Offered as a standalone one-day dissection course
- Small groups per specimen, physician at the table
Two days, structured for real skill.
