The course, mark by mark
One mark, and the lower face. Six modules.
Botulinum toxin, beginner and advanced. Mark 1 is three areas of the upper face. The foundational course adds the lip flip, the chin and the mouth corners, with the red lines that go with them. You learn each one in class first, map it on a live model in clinic, then treat it under supervision.
- 1Upper face Forehead How the forehead moves, and how it holds up the brow below it. Where the points go, how deep and how much, read on the client in front of you. Respect: The brow. Points placed too low can drop it, so you draw its line before you mark the forehead.
- 1Upper face Frown lines The muscles between the brows, read while the client frowns and while they rest. Placement, depth and dose by muscle, planned against the order. Respect: The supratrochlear vessels rise from the inner corner of the brow, the red line on this map. You draw them before you place a point near them.
- 1Upper face Crow's feet The muscle around the eye, read in a smile and at rest. Small amounts, placed where the trainer has checked your map. Respect: The bony rim around the eye. You mark it, and every point stays outside it.
- 3Lips Lip flip Relaxing the edge of the muscle around the mouth so the upper lip turns out a little. No filler, very little product. Respect: The same muscle closes the lips. Too much, and drinking from a straw or saying some words gets harder for a while.
- 5Jaw & chin Mouth corners and chin The muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down, and the dimpling on the chin, read while the client talks and at rest. Respect: The muscle that lowers the lower lip sits close by. You draw both before you mark either, so the smile stays even.
- !Red lines The red lines A drooping brow or lid, a reaction at the injection site, a client who feels unwell in the chair: how each one 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: Every course on the map teaches its own red lines. In neuromodulators, most of them start with where a point was placed.

Before you book
Who it's for, what you leave with, and what nurses ask.
Who can take it
RNs, RPNs, NPs and physicians. 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). 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. Check your licence on the Can I train? list.
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.
Is a neuromodulator course the same as a botulinum toxin course?
Yes. Neuromodulator is the name for the drug class, and botulinum toxin is the drug you learn to use.
Can RPNs take the neuromodulator course?
Yes. RPNs take the same course, on the same live models, as RNs. To practise, you work on an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 that order is client-specific.
What does the certificate mean?
It records that you finished the course: the theory, the supervised treatments and the evaluation. It doesn't authorize you to inject. That comes from your licence and, for RNs and RPNs, an order from an NP or physician.
What changes for me on 1 March 2027?
If you're an RN or RPN, you'll inject on a client-specific order written after an NP or physician assesses the client. Directives won't cover aesthetic treatments involving prescription drugs or controlled acts. Our clinic days are set up that way for every model, and the guide explains the change.
Are the lip flip, chin and brow lift in the course?
The lip flip, the chin and the mouth corners are in the foundational course, with the forehead, frown lines and crow's feet. The brow lift, masseter and neck bands are in the advanced neuromodulator course. Each is mapped first, the same way.
How long is the neuromodulator course?
The foundational course is two full days: Friday is the theory day, Saturday is supervised hands-on injecting. The advanced course has its own dates. The next dates are on the dates page.
