Botox Certification Training: August 21, 2026
Not all Botox training is created equal. FACES Education Botox Certification is built entirely on established literature and the current standard of care.
Most courses stop at the upper facial third. FACES Education recognizes that dental practitioners already bring unique comfort and expertise in the lower third — so this course includes applications relevant to your existing patients. We provide the only foundational Botox training that includes the middle third, including the gummy smile as well as therapeutic applications for TMJ, covering both masseter and temporalis, giving you comprehensive full-face coverage in a single day,
No returning for additional levels. No paying for what should have been included from the start.
You'll leave ready to start building your tox practice.
