Economics: Cheap Botox , Cosmetic Training and Products
With any economic recession you will find a wealth of new suppliers of services and products offering a cheaper price in comparison to the more established companies.
Some of these cheap companies save costs in areas such as customer service, product quality, support resources and other essential services that more established companies will still provide.
This is no different in aesthetic medicine with cheaper new products and services flooding the market every week claiming to be the same quality or better than established products or services and provided at a discount price.
In many cases the companies who provide these cheaper alternatives also provide a less than quality service or product and many disappear once the discount culture becomes less or the consumers have become wiser.
In the last 2 years there has been a large number of new botox training course providers offering inventive training options and a cheap way to get a botox certificate in a short period of time.
In medical aesthetics we should not be influenced by short cuts and cheap products or services as this can undermine the credibility of the industry that established medical aesthetic service providers have worked hard to achieve.
Recommendations when choosing your botox training course.
View testimonials and talk to colleagues about their botox training experiences.
Get some unbiased opinions and always question everything.
Is the person currently practicing medical aesthetics after their course?
Talk to the course coordinator are they experienced and knowledgeable about their courses?.
How quickly do training company respond to your emails and calls?
Which products do you receive training with?
It is recommended that you ask how long the company has been providing botox courses for medical professionals?
Receiving good quality training with botox and dermal fillers will ensure the continued improvement of the reputation of aesthetics medicine for providing safe and effective cosmetic treatments.
We have researched some of the options budget botox courses offers.
Half day botox training.
A 1 day botox training course with hands on injection time will provide a good level of confidence for medical professionals.
Online botox training.
I hope they do not provide certification of completion to enable practice and insurance as these courses will not give the level of confidence required.
Practical botox injection with no lecture.
Just hands on practical is not sufficient even though it is essential as part of the course day. Understanding the complex theory is also essential including the mechanism of action of botulinum toxins, facial musculature and technical information.
Botox course with lecture only Definitely not recommended for new practitioners who wish to provide botox treatments to paying clients.
Hands on botox injection time is essential is achieve a good level of confidence.
Botox training with the lecture on dvd with no expert on hand to answer technical questions.
Technology can assist training courses but providing a lecture on DVD player for group training is not the best approach for lectures. You can rent a DVD online or visit youtube.
A skilled lecturer will provide feedback, answer questions and elaborate on the areas delegates find difficult to ensure a comprehensive knowledge of the treatments that will be provided in the practical botox injection session.
Combined botox with other treatments such as dermal fillers in a 1 day introduction course.The best training structure is 1 day for 1 procedure keeping everything clear and specific as techniques and protocols are different for each treatment.
What are your options if you choose a budget botox course and do not feel confident on completion?
Pay again for established botox courses or do not practice either option the budget botox courses are a false economy.
