Body Contouring Injectables Training for Nurses & Nurse Practitioners

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.

NPs in most states can perform injectable body contouring under independent or collaborative practice authority. These procedures use standard injection technique applied to body treatment areas. Empire provides scope guidance specific to NP body contouring practice.

Injectable body contouring offers lower startup costs, greater precision for small or irregular areas, and customizable treatment. CoolSculpting requires significant device investment. Many practices offer both to serve different patient needs.

Multi-session protocols generate $2,000-$6,000+ per treatment area per patient. Multiple body zone treatments and recurring sessions create significant per-patient revenue.

Scope of practice varies by state. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in many states have full independent practice authority including prescribing and administering injectables. Registered Nurses (RNs) typically require a collaborative or supervisory agreement with a physician. Empire's training provides the clinical certification; your ability to practice independently depends on your state nursing board regulations. Our team can help you understand the requirements in your state.

Nurses who complete procedural training can pursue roles in medical spas, dermatology practices, plastic surgery offices, pain management clinics, and regenerative medicine centers. Many NPs go on to open their own aesthetic practices. The combination of nursing clinical skills with procedural certification creates one of the most in-demand professional profiles in healthcare today.

Empire Medical Training's courses are CME/CE accredited through the ACCME, and the credits are recognized by state nursing boards nationwide for continuing education and license renewal purposes. The certification documents your hands-on training competency and can be presented to employers, credentialing committees, and malpractice insurance providers.
