Past the foundational areas. Four modules.
Botulinum toxin beyond the forehead, frown lines and crow's feet. Each area is learned in class first, mapped on a live model in clinic, then treated under supervision.
- 1Upper face Brow lift Lifting the tail of the brow by relaxing the muscle that pulls it down. Small doses, placed exactly. Respect: The bony rim around the eye. You mark it, and every point stays outside it.
- 5Jaw & chin Masseter The jaw muscle and clenching. Reading its size by touch while the client bites down. Respect: Points placed too far forward can reach the muscles of the smile. You map the treatment zone of the muscle first.
- 5Jaw & chin Neck bands The bands of the neck muscle that show when a client tenses, and the jawline above them. Respect: The deeper muscles of the neck help with swallowing. Every point stays shallow, in the band you can see.
- !Red lines The red lines An uneven smile, a dropped brow or lid, a change in speech or swallowing, a client who feels unwell in the chair. For each one: how it looks, what you do, in order, and who you call. Practised before your first model, not after. The full day is Complications. Why it's a module: Lower on the face, more muscles work together. Here, many red lines start with one point in the wrong muscle.

Before you book
Who it's for, what you leave with, and what nurses ask.
Who can take it
RNs, RPNs, NPs and physicians who have finished a beginner neuromodulator course. RNs and RPNs practise with an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 it must be a client-specific order (what changes in March). New to neuromodulators? Start with Neuromodulators or Foundations. Dentists: talk to us first, in Ontario botulinum toxin outside the mouth is for therapeutic use only, not cosmetic. Naturopathic doctors: this course isn't open to NDs.
What you leave with
A certificate of completion. It records the course you took and the training you finished. Permission to inject comes from your licence and, for RNs and RPNs, an order from an NP or physician.
What do I need before the advanced neuromodulator course?
A beginner neuromodulator course, here or elsewhere, covering the forehead, frown lines and crow's feet. If you trained elsewhere, tell admissions what you covered.
Which areas does the advanced course cover?
The brow lift, the masseter and the neck bands, each mapped first. The lip flip, chin and mouth corners are in the foundational course.
How small are the groups?
Very small: 3 students at most per class. Your trainer checks your map, and every model is assessed by an NP or physician, before you treat.
Can RPNs take the advanced course?
Yes, once they've finished a beginner neuromodulator course. To practise, you work on an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 that order is client-specific.
Does the certificate add new areas to what I'm allowed to do?
No. It records your training. What you can treat comes from your licence and, for RNs and RPNs, the order an NP or physician writes for that client.
