Botox & Dermal Filler Certification Courses
Advanced Cosmetic Injection Training for Skincare Professionals
If you’re a licensed professional and you’ve been thinking about adding Botox and filler services to your work, this is where that starts. The Institute of Modern Beauty offers hands-on injectable training that goes beyond just checking a certification box. It’s built around real anatomy, real technique, and the kind of confidence you only get from actually practicing the work.
Training combines classroom instruction, live demonstrations, facial anatomy education, treatment planning, and guided hands-on injection practice. By the time you finish, you’re not just familiar with the material. You know how to apply it.
Four Individual Courses, Take What You Need
Cosmetic Injectables training is offered as four separate 8-hour courses. Each course is its own certification, so you can enroll in one, several, or all four, depending on what you’re looking to add to your skill set. There’s no requirement to complete them together or in a single block of time. You earn a certificate for each individual course you complete.
