All about botox
Just 20 years ago, botox was a relatively new and unpopular aesthetic procedure. Recently, it has exploded into popularity, with people of all ages and from all walks of life taking advantage of these injections to maintain their youthful look, and remove lines and wrinkles from their faces.
Botox procedures have become more mainstream, accessible, and affordable, but they are still a very lucrative opportunity for anyone looking to add a new element to their business. These injections are fast, efficient, and tends to bring back satisfied clients repeatedly. A little hard work paired with these opportunities gives you the opportunity to earn thousands more a year by adding only a few appointments per week.
Who is certified to administer botox?
In most areas of the world, only medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, and dentists can be certified to inject botox. Considering the medical aspects of the procedure, and the delicate nature of changing someone’s face, this is hardly surprising, and in fact should be comforting to any professional or potential botox client.
This news might be disheartening to aestheticians hoping to add botox to their practice. In some areas of the world, regulations are slightly less stringent, so be sure to look up your local regulations to be sure you know exactly what you need to do to become and remain certified.
Botox regulation in France
There are many countries throughout Europe that have fairly lax laws when it comes to who can administer botox. But France has fairly stringent regulations on who can administer botox. If you live in France and would like to become certified, you must have a medical background of certification of some kind. Doctors, nurses, and dentists are the primary administrators of botox in France.
There are many lauded schools that offer botox certification within France, but many medical professionals opt to travel to the UK to receive this training. Schools in the UK offer accredited training that is valid within France, and tend to have larger staff, lower prices, and more varied course structures than botox certification courses throughout most of Europe.
What should you look for in a botox certification course?
If you are considering going for your botox certification course, you may be torn on exactly which institute to attend. Not every course is designed with the same level of quality, and there are a few important things you should look to have included in the course description, to be sure you are getting professional botox training:
- Ensure the teaching staff consists of professional, experienced doctors who can teach you both the art and science of injecting botox
- Be sure courses include medical information as well as information on the basics of face structure, and how to use botox in different aesthetic situations
- Make sure there will be business training included for your new skills and services. It is one thing to know how to do a procedure, and another to know how to market it. Many courses will include information on getting your business started and thriving
- See if there are opportunities for consultation, professional support, networking, and updated skill sets included with your tuition. Many of the best programs do offer these elements as a component of your learning, and the added experience can be invaluable
- We also recommend that you be sure to check out all the credentials and reviews for any school you are considering. Also be sure the information you receive will be applicable in the country or local area where you will be practicing
