HONORABLE MENTION
For Dentists Only
American Academy of Facial Aesthetics classes taught by dentists (not the nurse-taught classes) excel in unique dental applications of Botox germane to the practice of dentistry and have dental CME credits. However, AAFE charges extra for all Botox and Filler used at hands-on, so add this additional cost to the tuition quoted.

Why Did PracticalCME Earn the Top Spot?
“Faculty Listed” indicates if the name and degree of the person teaching each date and location is listed.
“Location Listed” denotes if the full street address of the training is given online.
“Verified CME Credit” indicates if aesthetic-training.com was able to successfully verify that the CME credit stated is actually in effect currently.
“Class Size” refers to the maximum stated class size for hands-on. If none is listed, then class sizes from social medica photos and videos are used as representative.
“Hands-On Product Included” earns a checkmark if a guaranteed minimum amount of hands-on using real BTX and Fillers is included in the course tuition.
- * AAFE states that their CME credit for MD, DO, NP, RN is co-sponsored by Medical Education Resources. In 3 attempts to get confirmation of the CME Credit, Medical Education Resources has failed to confirm AAFE’s status as current. AAFE does NOT include any hands-on product nor state how much hands-on each attendee will get. They sell products for full price to use at hands-on. This will add at least $500 to the tuition price just to get a starter amount of product for supervised hands-on.
- ** AMET states that only their “Basic BTX and Filler” course has CME credit. The Advanced course have not earned accreditation. For Saturday classes, They overstate their Credit hours are for their actual amount of live contact time because the required advance webinar is not accredited and hands-on only meets for 4 hours. They do not state any guaranteed amount of hands-on product each attendee will inject.
- ^ Empire and it’s duplicate AAOPM list only MD’s on their faculty page, but many are no longer teaching and a specific faculty member is not listed teaching each course. According to public reviews on Google, not all classes historically have been taught by MD’s. They do not state any guaranteed amount of hands-on product each attendee will inject
