Kybella & Mesotherapy Training for Physicians

Licensed healthcare professionals, including MDs, DOs, DMDs, DDS, NPs, and RNs. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. International attendees may observe live injections or practice on anatomical models based on regional licensing restrictions.

The main training spans 1 intensive day. With pre-course and post-course assessments, full certification typically takes 1 day. Participants also receive access to pre-course virtual training modules and post-course Empire Live Mentor™ bi-weekly Zoom support sessions.

Yes. Participants perform injection procedures on live patients under the supervision of board-certified instructors. The course maintains a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio to ensure individualized guidance and feedback during hands-on clinical practice.

Immediately upon certification. Most participants begin integrating these services into their practice within days of course completion. Empire provides all training materials, protocols, and ongoing mentorship to support your transition to offering Kybella and mesotherapy treatments.

Empire provides Empire Live Mentor™ sessions, access to the physician portal, and continuous updates on new protocols, techniques, and industry trends. Graduates receive ongoing mentorship and support as they build their body contouring practice.

Empire's curriculum is regularly updated to include the latest technologies, medications, and evidence-based protocols. We work closely with industry leaders, ensuring our graduates remain ahead of the curve in body contouring and aesthetic medicine.

Body contouring treatments using Kybella and mesotherapy typically command $1,600 to $2,400 per case. With strong patient demand for non-surgical fat reduction, these services represent a high-value addition to any aesthetic practice with excellent repeat-visit potential and patient satisfaction rates.

Kybella is ideal for patients with moderate submental fat who want a non-surgical option with no anesthesia or incision. Liposuction is better suited for larger fat deposits and patients who need simultaneous skin tightening. The course teaches patient selection criteria — submental fat volume, skin elasticity, platysma tone — that help you recommend the optimal treatment for each patient and refer appropriately when surgical intervention would produce better outcomes.

The course covers mesotherapy for facial skin rejuvenation (vitamin cocktails, hyaluronic acid microinjections), body skin tightening applications, and the microinjection techniques that deliver solutions to the precise dermal depth where they produce maximum effect. You will learn formulation selection, injection spacing protocols, and treatment series design for different patient goals and skin conditions.

Expected effects include significant submental swelling (lasting 1-2 weeks), bruising, numbness, and induration. The most serious potential complication is marginal mandibular nerve injury, which can cause temporary smile asymmetry. Proper injection grid placement, depth control, and anatomical landmark identification — all covered extensively in the course — minimize this risk. Skin necrosis from superficial injection is another preventable complication addressed through technique training.

While physicians have the legal authority to perform many procedures, hands-on training under expert supervision dramatically accelerates the learning curve, reduces complication risk, and provides the clinical confidence needed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes from day one. Empire's structured curriculum, live patient practice, and CME accreditation also satisfy credentialing and malpractice insurance requirements that self-study alone cannot fulfill.

Adding procedural services creates new revenue streams that can significantly increase your practice income — aesthetic services alone can add $200K-$500K+ in annual revenue. Beyond finances, offering in-demand procedures improves patient retention, attracts new patient demographics, and positions your practice competitively in a market where patients increasingly expect comprehensive service offerings from their healthcare providers.

Yes. All Empire Medical Training courses for physicians are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
