Welcome!
I am
Dr. Thomas Castellano and I have been offering classes for
Doctors, Nurses and Physician Assistants interested in administering
Botulinum Toxin Type A (BOTOX® Cosmetic by Allergan).
This course is intended for practitioners already familiar
with general medical injection techniques who wish to learn
about BOTOX® Cosmetic for the first time or advancing and
refreshing their skills. Because of the demand for these classes,
I am offering my class on DVD which then can be completed
at the practitioner's own pace. This program includes
accompanying slide reproductions and complete handouts in
a 3-ring notebook. This is the same format as used in
my classes on the facial, cosmetic uses of Botulinum Toxin
Type A. Buy

My training
in this field includes Rocky Mountain LASER Clinic and College,
National Procedures Institute, Carruthers' lectures, Lake Loveland
Dermatology/Patrick Lillis, M.D., and the BOTOX® Cosmetic Physicians
Network. I am currently practicing in my home state of Colorado.
The original,
four-hour personal lecture was conceived out of my love of teaching
and the needs of practitioners who want training in these techniques.
I have taught physicians, nurses, and physician assistants from
all over the United States. I stress a thorough understanding
of the medicine, its uses and limitations. I demonstrate safe
and effective techniques.
This is a complete
course, covering ten chapters in a DVD (which can be navigated like
a DVD movie) that you can watch in your home or office. A
companion booklet accompanies the DVD. This course covers
everything you will need to know, and includes some lesser-known
hints and tips about the medicine and your practice. Avoiding
risks, minimizing complications and explaining a pricing strategy
are just three of the chapters in the program. Anatomy, Pharmacology,
injection sites and post-injection care, are explained in detail.
An examination is included to help guide you through the material.
A bibliography is also included.
This course
is only intended for medical professionals already practicing
basic medical injections. You will need to complete
a legal statement and agreement. The state medical
board where you practice has guidelines about who can and
cannot inject medicines. Your malpractice insurance
company will also help you with their rules of handling this
medicine. The running time of the DVD is about one hour,
but you will probably spend over two hours on the information,
taking notes, reviewing and completing the examination.
