Botox & Filler Training in Phoenix, AZ
2-Day Combination Course
The two foundational injectable courses, run back-to-back on a Friday and Saturday at our working Phoenix clinic. Day one is neuromodulators. Day two is dermal filler. You inject live patients on both days, and you finish the weekend able to offer the two services that make up the overwhelming majority of aesthetic bookings. Providers attend from across the metro — Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Peoria.
One trip instead of two, one set of travel costs, and a combined treatment-planning module that neither standalone course includes. Booked together the weekend is $175 less than the two courses separately.

What you learn across
both training days
Day one is the Botox Beginner curriculum in full. Day two is the Filler Beginner curriculum in full. Nothing is abbreviated to fit the two days together. The eighth module is the part you cannot get by taking the two courses months apart — how to assess a face for both modalities at once and sequence them in a single treatment plan.
- Upper face musculature: frontalis, procerus, corrugators, orbicularis oculi
- Danger zones: supraorbital nerve, supratrochlear nerve, temporal artery — identification and avoidance
- Bony landmarks for safe injection depth and angulation
- Individual anatomic variation — why the same dose in the same location produces different results in different patients
- Aging anatomy: how muscle activity and volume loss interact over time
Anatomy is taught once, on day one, in a way that serves both modalities — which is part of why the two days together are more efficient than two separate courses.
- Mechanism of action: how botulinum toxin type A blocks neuromuscular transmission
- Onset, duration, and diffusion characteristics by product
- Product comparison: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify
- Unit equivalency across products — why a “unit” is not universal
- Reconstitution: dilution ratios, bacteriostatic saline, storage and handling
- Glabellar complex: injection points, depth, dosing ranges and brow-drop avoidance
- Frontalis: dosing strategy by forehead height and brow position
- Lateral canthal lines: technique and orbicularis considerations
- Reconstitution and drawing up, performed by each attendee
- Every provider injects live patients under direct supervision
- Crosslinking, G prime, cohesivity and hydrophilicity — what actually determines product behavior
- Product families and where each belongs anatomically
- Longevity expectations and how to set them honestly with patients
- Storage, handling and lot documentation
- When cannula is indicated and when a needle is the correct instrument
- Entry point selection, blunt dissection and retrograde threading
- Aspiration technique and its genuine limitations
- Arizona Level II vs. Level III classification and what it means for your scope
- Nasolabial folds: depth, plane and volume
- Marionette lines and prejowl sulcus
- Midface and cheek support — structural assessment before product
- Every provider injects live patients under direct supervision
- Early recognition: blanching, disproportionate pain, livedo pattern
- The hyaluronidase flooding protocol, dosing and repeat intervals
- Building your own emergency kit and where it must live in the clinic
- Escalation criteria and when to send to emergency care
This module is taught on the same day you inject filler, not as an afterthought. It is the single most important thing a new filler injector learns.
- Assessing a face for dynamic lines versus volume loss versus laxity — and telling them apart
- Sequencing: what to treat first, and what to wait on
- Same-visit protocols — what can safely be combined in one appointment and what should not
- Pricing and presenting a combined plan without overwhelming the patient
- Follow-up scheduling when a patient has had both modalities
This module does not exist in either standalone course. It is the clinical reason to take the two days together rather than months apart.
Built for providers adding
both services at once.
This is a beginner pathway. No prior injection experience is required or assumed. It is designed for providers who intend to offer both neuromodulators and dermal filler — which, in practice, is almost everyone — and who would rather build both skill sets in one weekend than wait months between courses.
Arizona’s full practice authority means NPs can begin offering both services immediately after training. Starting with both modalities rather than one means your service menu is complete from your first week of bookings, not half-built.
Most medspa job descriptions expect both Botox and filler competency. Arriving with both certificates and live-patient experience in both is materially different from arriving with one. Medical director oversight must be in place before clinical practice — we cover how that relationship is structured in Arizona.
Physicians from non-aesthetic specialties already have the anatomy and pharmacology. What this weekend provides is the specific technique, dosing context and product selection judgment, in a cohort small enough that every injection is watched.
The Friday–Saturday structure is deliberate. Fly in Thursday evening, train Friday and Saturday, fly home Sunday — two certifications from one trip, with a single set of flights and two hotel nights. We can send a Phoenix logistics sheet on request.
Botox and filler training
for the Phoenix metro
Both days are taught in-person at our working clinic at 4731 E Union Hills Dr, Suite 114, Phoenix, AZ 85050 — not a rented hotel conference room. Providers drive in from across the Valley, and because the two days run Friday and Saturday, most attendees never need a hotel.
Roughly 15–25 minutes from most of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. This is the closest hands-on injectable training for providers north of the 101, and the most common origin for our beginner cohorts.
Typically 30–45 minutes via the 101 or 202 outside of peak traffic. East Valley providers regularly attend both days without an overnight stay; the Friday start time is set late enough to clear the morning commute.
Generally 25–40 minutes via the 101 Loop. West Valley providers frequently pair this weekend with a medical director conversation, since many are opening independently.
Sky Harbor is about 30 minutes away and Phoenix–Mesa Gateway about 40. Providers have attended from California, Texas, Nevada, New York and Florida. The two-day format is built so one trip earns both certifications.
Why almost nobody
learns only one
Very few injectors learn Botox and then stop. Neuromodulators and dermal filler solve different problems — one relaxes muscle activity, the other restores volume and structure — and the majority of aesthetic patients present with both. A provider who offers only one is referring out, or quietly under-treating, from their first week.
The usual path is to take a Botox course, work for a few months, then book filler training later. That works, but it has a cost: you spend those months unable to complete a treatment plan, you pay two sets of travel and time-away-from-clinic, and you learn facial anatomy twice from two different instructors who may not agree.
Taking them back-to-back removes all three problems. The anatomy is taught once, coherently. The product knowledge is compared side by side. And the final module — how to assess and sequence both modalities in one patient — only makes sense if you have just done both. That module does not exist in either standalone course, because it cannot.
Not models paid to sit still and not mannequins. Patients who have consented to training-supervised treatment at Beso Wellness & Beauty, with real skin, real musculature and real expectations — photographed before and reviewed after.
The cohort is capped at 4 on both days so Naomi can watch your hand, your depth, your angulation and your reconstitution. With filler in particular, the difference between safe and unsafe is a few millimeters of plane — which nobody can assess from across a room.
You receive a separate certificate of completion for each course. For out-of-state providers this is one set of flights, two hotel nights and two days away from your own clinic instead of four.
