Check out Skin Savvy Aesthetics. They are located in Scottsdale, but it may be worth the drive to spend a weekend taking a training course. She was less expensive than most of the courses I looked at and the other one I took previously. I liked her because she keeps classes small, offered to write me a recommendation letter for employers because she liked my technique, and she taught me some advanced areas that I didn't get with my first basic training...

I had a hard time finding a medspa that would train me without any courses or experience first. I tried two trainings: Empire a couple years ago which was good. It was good for the basics and I got some hands on training for botox and dermal fillers. The group was pretty big though so I felt like the hands on was rushed a bit and I didn't get as much attention as I wanted. I refreshed my training recently at Skin Savvy Aesthetics. A friend had told me about a doctor who does 1 on 1 or small group trainings at her office, and it was really personable and cheaper! Plus I learned some advanced techniques that she said patients would commonly ask for. I now feel pretty confident that, with those courses, I can apply for some aesthetic jobs and actually get my foot in the door with them. Good luck everyone!

I trained with 2 places for botox and dermal fillers: Empire Medical and Skin Savvy Aesthetics. Empire was a bigger group so I got less hands on but they gave good information. It was a couple years ago. I took Skin Savvy Aesthetics training based on a friend's recommendation as a refresher recently, and she was awesome. It's a doctor that does 1 on 1 or small group training, so I got more hands on and she explained advanced techniques a little better. And it was cheaper :)
