Combination Therapies PDO Training for Estheticians

Licensed healthcare professionals, including MDs, DOs, DMDs, DDS, NPs, PAs, and RNs with prior injectable experience. This is not an introductory course — it is designed for advanced aesthetic practitioners with prior training in aesthetic injections and/or thread procedures.

No. This is a non-CME advanced certification program. Participants receive an Empire Medical Training Certificate of Completion documenting their training in comprehensive face and body-contouring combination therapies.

Yes. Participants will observe live models and perform limited hands-on procedures under supervision. The course format includes pre-course study, live Q&A, demonstrations, and limited hands-on instruction.

It combines every major non-surgical aesthetic modality — injectables, threads, PRP/PRF, and energy devices — into a single integrated curriculum focused on real-world application. Both facial combination protocols and body contouring techniques are covered in one program.

The course covers hyperdilute Sculptra and Radiesse for body skin tightening and lifting, PDO threads for knees, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and decolletage, PRP/PRF combinations for cellulite reduction, and device integration with RF, micro-focused ultrasound, HIFEM, 1064 YAG laser, and IPL technologies.

You will learn to design and price branded aesthetic packages such as the Stem Cell Facial, Age Defiance Makeover, and Platinum Rejuvenation. The course covers strategic pricing, membership programs, and bundled treatment structures with typical patient session pricing ranging from $1,800 to $6,000.

Please refer to your state or regional licensing board. International attendees may participate through observation or anatomical model practice rather than live patient injection.

The course includes a full-color manual, treatment protocols, access to the Physician Portal with forms, consent templates, and marketing materials, pre-course virtual training access, tutorial videos featuring renowned instructors, and all medicines and supplies needed for the hands-on component.

Understanding how threads, fillers, neurotoxins, and biostimulators work together to produce comprehensive rejuvenation makes you an indispensable clinical partner. You can coordinate multi-visit treatment schedules, educate patients about what to expect between sessions, provide informed aftercare, and consult knowledgeably about comprehensive treatment options. Premium practices actively seek estheticians with this advanced understanding.

Estheticians who understand multi-modality treatment design contribute at a higher level — coordinating complex treatment plans between visits, providing informed patient education about combination outcomes and timelines, identifying patients who would benefit from comprehensive approaches, and supporting clinical decision-making with treatment science knowledge. This transforms your role from skincare provider to essential clinical team member.

This advanced knowledge qualifies you for treatment coordinator roles, patient concierge positions, clinical operations management, and lead esthetician positions in practices offering comprehensive rejuvenation. Practices that offer high-revenue combination treatments need team members who understand the full treatment menu, and this expertise commands significant compensation premiums over standard esthetician roles.

In most states, licensed estheticians cannot independently perform injectable procedures such as Botox or dermal fillers. However, some states have expanded scope provisions for medical estheticians working under direct physician supervision. Regardless of injection authority, understanding injectable treatments makes estheticians significantly more effective at patient consultations, treatment coordination, and comprehensive aesthetic care within a practice team. Check your state licensing board for specific regulations.

Understanding injectable treatments at a clinical level transforms your ability to consult with patients, coordinate care with injecting providers, and recommend comprehensive treatment plans. Medical spas and aesthetic practices highly value estheticians who can speak knowledgeably about all treatment options. This training also prepares you for states that may expand esthetician scope and positions you competitively for career advancement in the aesthetic medicine industry.

Estheticians with comprehensive aesthetic medicine knowledge command higher salaries, qualify for lead esthetician and practice management roles, and are preferred hires for premium medical spas and dermatology practices. The training provides career mobility from skin care focused roles into medical aesthetic positions where compensation and professional growth opportunities are significantly greater.
