Our Botox Training Approach

APT Injection Training is a trusted provider of Botox training for healthcare professionals in Chicago. We offer a wide range of medical aesthetics training courses, including an International Certification in Injectable Therapies.

Our courses combine comprehensive theory and practical training. They are based on the latest scientific innovations in Botox and dermal filler techniques. We also offer programs for dental surgeons looking to expand their practice.

APT has helped countless students build successful careers in medical aesthetics. Here is why our Chicago Botox training stands out:

1. Intimate Learning Conditions with Strict 2:1 Trainee to Trainer Ratio

We limit each class to two trainees per instructor. This ensures every student gets a personalized, immersive learning experience. Students have full access to learning materials and guided support throughout the course.

Instructors dedicate their full attention to each student. They monitor progress from start to finish. Hands-on sessions give students several hours to practice and perfect their injection skills.

2. Learn from the Best Practitioners of Botox Injections

Our Chicago courses are led by APT Founder and Lead Practitioner Patricia Pezzano, RN, BSN, B.Sc (Biol), (NANS). She has over 20 years of experience teaching Botox training to healthcare professionals. She is also the founder of APT Medical Aesthetics.

3. Hands-on Botox Training on Real Models

Our Chicago programs include seven hours of hands-on injection training. Students practice on live models with varying skin types and treatment concerns. You will learn to safely administer Botox and dermal filler injections. Each student works with up to eight live patients per day, focusing on the upper and lower face.

APT Injection Training’s Additional Courses

In addition to our Chicago Botox training, APT Injection Training offers other courses in facial rejuvenation:

1. Foundation Toxin and Dermal Filler Certificate of Attendance

This two-day course is for registered medical professionals. It combines university-level pre-course learning, practical demonstrations, and hands-on training on live models. It is the minimum required to begin practising toxin and dermal filler treatments. It can also count toward the internationally recognized International Certificate in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Therapies.

2. International Certificate in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Therapies

APT is the only training centre in North America offering authentic third-party certification. We work with MATA training and OTHM — an internationally recognized awarding body. Your experience at APT can count toward a globally recognized certificate.

The certification requires university-level pre-course work (230 UK CME), three days of intensive training, a logbook, and short answer questions. Everything is independently assessed by OTHM. Other courses use only their own internal standards. APT has been independently assessed and certified by a recognized organization.

3. Basic Lower Face Cannula Training-Hyaluronic Acid

Learn to administer dermal fillers using the cannula technique. This one-day course covers similar topics to the Basic Filler Training Course. It uses pre-course reading material and the same 2:1 ratio with 7-8 live models. Hands-on training uses cannulas in addition to needles.

4. Advanced Dermal Filler Training-Hyaluronic Acid & Radiesse

This 1-day course follows Foundation Basic Filler and Lower Face Cannula Training. It focuses on advanced areas like the temples and tear troughs. It also introduces Radiesse® — a longer-lasting calcium hydroxyapatite filler. The course uses the same 2:1 ratio with 7-8 live models.

We recommend having at least 50 patients injected before taking this course. Adverse effects in the temples and tear troughs can be severe.

5. Lip Filler Training

This comprehensive one-day course covers hands-on training on live models. You will learn the latest hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for lip enhancement. The course covers both cannula and needle techniques. The focus is on achieving natural, proportional lips through definition, volume, support, and contour.

6. The Laser Module Course

This online course covers the safe use of laser and intense light technology. Topics include skin rejuvenation and hair reduction. Buying a laser machine is a major investment. This course gives you the knowledge to choose the right equipment for your practice.

7. Dental Filler & Botox Training

This intensive one-day course is for dentists adding neurotoxin and lip filler services to their practice. Pre-course material covers anatomy, contraindications, risks, and hyaluronidase use for emergencies. Hands-on training includes cosmetic toxin injections, TMJ injections, and lower face dermal indications. We use the same 2:1 ratio as all APT courses.
