Body Contouring Injectables Training for Physician Assistants

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.

Yes, injectable body contouring falls within PA scope in most states under collaborative agreements. The technique uses standard injection methods applied to body treatment areas.

PAs who offer body contouring in addition to facial aesthetics provide more comprehensive service, increasing their value to practices and their earning potential.

Yes, CME/CE credits are accepted by NCCPA for certification maintenance.

Supervision requirements vary by state. Some states grant PAs full independent practice authority, while others require a supervisory or collaborative agreement with a physician. In most aesthetic and pain management settings, PAs practice with significant clinical autonomy under an established collaborative arrangement. Empire's training equips you with the skills and certification; your specific practice structure depends on your state PA board regulations.

PAs with procedural certification are among the most sought-after hires in aesthetic medicine, pain management, and regenerative medicine. These skills command premium salaries — often 25-40% above generalist PA compensation — and open doors to practice settings and career paths that offer greater autonomy, income potential, and professional satisfaction than traditional PA roles.

Yes, Empire's courses provide CME/CE credits accepted by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) for certification maintenance. Credits also satisfy continuing education requirements for state PA board license renewal, ensuring your training investment serves double duty for professional development and regulatory compliance.
