I am am physician from Dallas and attended an IAPAM symposium where I was supposed to learn everything in Aesthetics, Botox, Filler, Lasers, IIPL, Weight Loss, and more over a 4 day period. 

I think it’s called International Association of Physicians in Aesthetics Medicine. Class was disorganized, pooly setup, the teaching was very sloopy, the instructor was not a specialist and he knew very little about Aesthetics. Some of the testimonials they posted are fake, I researched the testimonials and found that some are new accounts, no pictures, no content, and were recently set up accounts just to make the post. When the instructor was asked basic questions about topics that were not on the slides he was talking about, he was lost. The other physicians in the class looked at each other in awe after they heard some of the ridiculous answers they gave. I am so upset and angry that I spent a great deal of money on tuition and travel and not to mention the time I lost away from my practice. The laser part was promotional for different products-laser- equipment, etc. I have since researched and learned that to properly learn about laser, most training companies I have found devote 1-2 full days. It is that hard to provide a quality training program! 

Hands on part was poorly setup with little no supervision. I practiced on my own but watched other doctors standing around doing nothing. Sorry for them. Only the complainers, like myself had any opportunity to actually inject. The sterile techniques was nonexistent and the class set up was dangerous, at best. If you are not outgoing or outspoken, I doubt you will have a chance to even hold a syringe. 

Total waste of time and money. I am trying to get a refund but I doubt that will happen. Total Rip Off, Total Scam.

Wrong Program Identified

AUTHOR: Jeff Russell - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, February 08, 2016

The author of this complaint has confused our training program with another training program.

Here are the reasons we know this is not our program:

  • We have never had a physician from Dallas, a “Dr Mendell,” or a physician from Oregon attend our program in 2015.
  • We did not have any training programs in November 2015
  • We never do training in Las Vegas (our head office is in Las Vegas, and this may have lead to the confusion)
  • Our cosmetic injectable training is always done by a female physician, not a male as the author indicated (“he”).
  • Our cosmetic injectable training is done by a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in this field.
  • Hands-on training for our program is done in a clean, medical facility and everyone has the opportunity to inject a Botulinum toxin into a live patient.
  • For hands-on training, we have a team of 5 physician injector trainers who closely supervise the small group of physicians during their injections.
  • Our hands-on training is done in a large 5,000 sq ft medical practice (not a hotel room).  This facility comes complete with a large state of the art medical training room, HD cameras for the live demonstration portion, in addition to 6 smaller medical clinic rooms for the hands-on injection training portion.
  • The testimonials on our website are quotes from past attendees and not linked to any online profiles.
  • “I am trying to get a refund” - in the 9 years we have been providing training, we have never had a physician request a refund after taking our program.
  • “I think it’s called…” – the author is not sure that it’s our program.

When you look at the many aesthetic training programs available, it’s not difficult to see why the author mistakenly identified our program as the program he attended. For example, there are the AAAMS, AAFE, AAAMED, A4M, ACACP, ABAM, AMET, WAAAM, PITFA, NLI, NPI, ESIW, AMEN, AAMEP, AAOPM and Empire medical training.

However, based on the facts presented above, I know it was not our program.

I’d love to chat with you more about the program you did attend.  I can be reached through our toll-free number: 1-800-219-5108 at extension 705.

Best regards,

Jeff Russell
Executive-director
