Overview
Begin your journey into aesthetic injecting with our comprehensive Foundations & Advanced Neurotoxin Course—designed to give clinicians the knowledge, practical skills, and hands-on experience needed to confidently begin offering neurotoxin treatments. This hybrid course combines comprehensive online didactic education with in-person hands-on clinical training, beginning with the fundamentals of neurotoxins and progressing into advanced treatment techniques. Training covers facial anatomy, muscle function and movement, patient assessment, product selection, reconstitution, dosing, injection depth and placement, safety, complication management, and individualized treatment planning.
Participants will receive training with FDA-approved neurotoxins including BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®. The program progresses from foundational upper-face treatments into advanced lower-face, neck, and facial balancing applications, teaching participants how to assess facial movement, customize dosing and placement, and develop treatment plans based on each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
This course is ideal for clinicians new to aesthetic injecting or neurotoxin treatments, as well as those with limited experience who want to strengthen their skills and advance their treatment capabilities. With class sizes limited to 8 participants, students receive personalized instruction and meaningful hands-on experience with live patient models.
Course Format:
- Online Didactic Education: Comprehensive self-paced education covering neurotoxin fundamentals, facial anatomy, muscle function, dosing, injection techniques, safety, and advanced treatment strategies.
- In-Person Hands-On Training: Small-group clinical training with supervised neurotoxin injections on live patient models, including consultation, facial assessment, treatment planning, mapping, dosing, and injection technique.
- All injectable products and live models are provided by Avevya at no additional charge.

Hands-On Training
Following completion of the online didactic portion, participants attend an in-person clinical training day focused on hands-on neurotoxin assessment, treatment planning, and injection technique.
Live models are provided, with each participant typically working with 1–2 models per treatment area. In this small-group clinical setting, students will:
- Conduct patient consultations and facial assessments
- Develop individualized neurotoxin treatment plans
- Perform foundational and advanced neurotoxin injections under instructor supervision
- Practice proper dosing, mapping, injection placement, and technique
- Complete appropriate charting and treatment documentation
The hands-on portion is designed to build confidence and allow participants to apply the knowledge learned during the online didactic training in a supervised clinical environment.

- Advanced patient screening procedures
- Injections to be supervised by a licensed medical professional
- Written protocols to be readily available
- Detailed record keeping
- Hands-on training for individuals administering injections
These regulations authorize qualified personnel to perform dermal fillers, neurotoxins, and other cosmetic injectables, even if the supervising physician is not physically present during the procedure.
Important: Prior to performing any services, a compliant and legal business structure must be established.
Each course offers hands-on training with live models, detailed didactic instruction supported by a full-color manual, and an official certification upon successful completion.
