Body Contouring Injectables Training for Dentists

This training caters to MDs, DOs, DMDs, DDS, NPs, RNs and other licensed healthcare professionals. Prerequisites include prior completion of Complete Dermal Filler Training or Advanced Dermal Filler Training, prior experience administering HA dermal fillers, or equivalency documentation.

The course covers hyperdilute Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite) and hyperdilute Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) as bio-stimulant fillers, PDO threads (monofilament and barbed varieties) for smoothing and lifting, and PRP/PRF as biological adjuncts. These are combined using microcannula techniques for comprehensive body contouring across multiple treatment areas.

The course covers treatment of sagging knees (knee lift), buttock lift procedures, neck tightening, upper arm laxity, cellulite treatment (stages I-III), and abdomen and buttock contouring. Each area is addressed with specific product selection, dilution protocols, and injection techniques.

Attendees must have prior completion of Complete Dermal Filler Training or Advanced Dermal Filler Training, prior experience administering HA dermal fillers, or provide equivalency documentation. Pre-course instructional videos on Radiesse, Sculptra, PDO threads, dilution ratios, and injection techniques must be viewed before attendance.

Yes, the course includes didactic morning sessions followed by live model demonstrations in the afternoon with small group breakout sessions. Participants observe and practice the latest body contouring procedures on live models under physician supervision.

A board-certified physician expert will teach this course, with other licensed healthcare professionals assisting where needed. Faculty are practicing physicians who perform these body contouring procedures in their own practices daily.

The course specifically covers cellulite treatment across stages I through III using a combination of PDO threads, Radiesse, and Sculptra delivered with microcannula technique. Combining PRP or PRF with PDO threads is also taught as a method to optimize cellulite treatment results.

Certainly! For those outside the United States, injections on anatomical models are an option; however, you will not be allowed to inject on a live patient. Each state has its own regulations concerning live patient injections.

Body contouring may require practice structure beyond standard dental scope. Empire provides guidance on regulatory frameworks and business structures that enable dentists to offer body sculpting services.

Patients investing in their appearance through dental aesthetics are natural candidates for body contouring. Offering comprehensive aesthetic services creates a one-stop practice that generates higher per-patient revenue.

Multi-session protocols generate $2,000-$6,000+ per treatment area. Patients often treat multiple zones over time, creating significant ongoing revenue.

In most states, dentists are authorized to administer botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections within the head, neck, and associated structures. Some states define this scope broadly to include cosmetic applications, while others limit dental injectable use to therapeutic and functional purposes. Empire recommends confirming your state dental board's specific guidelines. Our training provides the clinical certification recognized by dental boards nationwide.

Dentists have superior knowledge of facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and injection techniques compared to most other healthcare professionals entering aesthetics. Your daily experience with local anesthesia, precise needle placement, and patient management in the facial region gives you a significant head start. Empire's course builds on these existing competencies to add aesthetic-specific protocols, product knowledge, and treatment planning skills.

Dental practices that add aesthetic injectable services typically generate $100K-$300K+ in additional annual revenue, often from their existing patient base. Botox and filler treatments have high profit margins, create recurring revenue through maintenance appointments, and attract new patients who become dental patients as well. The crossover appeal is significant — patients who trust you with their smile naturally trust you with their facial aesthetics.
