Acne occurs when there is increased oil excretion by the oil gland (sebaceous gland), which is genetically determined and hormone dependent condition, this usually results in a bacterial infection of the ducts  which forms pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and responsible for inflammation.

Procedures typically performed by Dermatologists can easily be treated by Primary Care Physicians. The American Academy of Dermatology offers cme training for Dermatologists, Empire Medical Training provides CME for Primary Care Physicians and other health care professionals as well.

Other types of Acne are caused by a thickening of the skin at the opening (pores) of the skin again caused by genetics and/or hormones.  This is perhaps why acne is usually worse among teenagers, especially boys.  Acne however, can also show up at any time in your life, even beyond 40 years of age and if your parents have had significant acne, chances are you will have it too.

Since acne presents itself in various manners so are the treatment options necessary for the clearance of these blemishes.  Severe acne if left untreated can result in scarring in less than (12) months.  During the Empire Medical Training workshop in Dermatology Training  and Acne, we teach all of the latest treatments (topical, antibiotics, hormone blockers, birth control (females), lasers, and photodynamic therapies (UV/Levulan 20%), and other treatment options).  Unfortunately, the cure for acne does not exist but we can effectively control and reduce acne, there are numerous causes for acne and thus there are multiple treatments options that can be done to alleviate the appearance of acne.

Empire Medical Training specializes in teaching how to properly utilize combination therapies that compliment one another to create clearance of blemishes or inflammatory acne.  We fully understand the complexity and need to offer multiple options for the treatment of acne and the importance our patients place on having this annoying skin condition corrected.  There is no reason for anyone to suffer from acne anymore!

Pain Management encompases a broad area of medicine, many physicians are looking to add specialty injections and procedures to treat lumbar disorders. This is a practical approach especially since back pain is common disorder. Statistics have shown that over 70 million Americans suffer from back pain, in fact this is the second most common reason for visting a doctor. Some say that you are actually likely to have one serious episode of back pain every 15 years. I had my 15 year episode last week while getting dressed in the morning on my way to teach a seminar, this was a crippling experience which sent me to the emergency room in an ambulance. Fortunately for me, the emergency room physician was skilled in performing a sacroiliac joint injection. As you know this is normally performed for chronic conditions, however, certainly has its’ place in the acute setting as well.

Physicians interested in attending a Pain Management Training program often look for workshops that teach lumbar procedures. With the amount of patients who present to your office with lumbar complaints its no wonder why the demand for learning these procedures is so high.

Some of the most common procedures to learn include:

1. Lumbar Spine Facet Joint Injections
2. Sacroiliac Joint Injections
3. Lumbar epidural injections
4. Caudal epidural injections
5. Transforaminal epidural injections
6. Trigger Point Injections

Rather than going back to medical school and residency to learn the entire specialty of Pain Management, many physicians want to focus on treating patients with Lumbar Spine Disorders and gain a level of proficiency in this area. Learning to perform selected pain management techniques has numerous medical benefits for the plethora of patients visiting your office with lumbar spine pain or discomfort. Many physicians, however, may be unaware of the substantial financial impact these procedures can create for your practice as well.

Medicare generously reimburses pain management techniques to effectively avoid or prolong  the more costly surgical option. When performing pain management procedures, it is of the utmost importance that strict coding and medical necessity guidelines are adhered to. Pain Management regulations have become more restrictive due to the misuse of these pain management billing codes. Please make sure that whatever Pain Management Training program you attend is offered by a recognized institution, one that stresses medical necessity and provides instruction in the proper coding guidelines.

Empire Medical Training offers advanced training in all types of spinal injection procedures as well as peripheral joint injections and more. Please feel free to call me personally if you have any questions. My specialty is Family Practice, however, i have successfully performed thousands of interventional techniques myself. Our Pain Management training programs are taught by Pain Management Physicians.

It is best to think of yourself as a sculptor not just an injector. Understand the overall foundation of the patient’s face so you can better plan in advance what your goal is. Dont just inject lines to fill in the space. Learn to sculpt and contour every patient as relates to how their face is structured. For example, learning to add volume to the cheek area can dramatically enhance a patient’s appearance. Restoring volume is one of the most popluar reasons to use Dermal Fillers on a patient. During Empire Medical Training workshop we spend quite a bit of time learning about Facial Anatomy so we can understand how to enhance volume. After the didactic portion of the training we practice the actual injections, this is an integral part of the training and is essential.

Wherever you decide to learn these technique, make sure you get enough hands on training. We actually see quit a number of physicians who take our training after they tried to perform these procedure on patients with only a minimal amount of training. I remember one physician in particular who told me he only read a book and began after that. I admire his motivation but was releaved he got himself more hands on training.

If you have any questions about any of these aesthetic procedures, I am available to discuss this with you. I love performing aesthetic procedures on my patients. They are fun to perform and patients really like the results. Call me anytime to discuss, 954-525-4273. We also accept daily “tours” of our facilty for health care professionals. You can spend some time with our physicians observing Dermal Fillers procedurs to see if this is something you want to add to your practic or not.

Botox Cosmetic is FDA approved for treatment of Glabeller Rhytids. One of the off label uses for Botox injections is to treat forehead (frontalis) rhytids. The dosage most physicians are familiar with is injecting up to 30 units in a male patient. (Provided the correct dosing is used as determined by the manufacturer- 2.5 cc non preservative saline). At Empire Medical Training programs we teach starting at a much lower dosage, typically up to no more than 10-12 units. We recommend this initially because injecting the forehead improperly can create many unwanted side effects. Some examples of this include uneven eyebrows  or even the undesired “spock look”. There are other potential side effects as well if not careful, in worst case scenarios you can even see the entire frontalis “drop” down so that the person appears tired and aged.

Using a lower dosage on that first visit will help minimize any unwanted effects. What we teach our students at Empire Medical Training during all Botox Training programs is to use a lower dosage and have the patient return 1 week later for touch up. The patient will be happy that you care enough to see see them for a second visit. Also, you will be charging the patient extra for this touch up. Remember, the first set of patients you may not see the results of your work. It is best to develop a comfort level prior to using the full dosage. Over the long haul, you will develop a better technique and your patients will appreciate your skills.

At Empire Medical Training we create standards for platelet rich plasma (PRP) protocols, preparations and techniques that serve the needs and interests of patients, providing the best outcomes.

We have developed guidelines to assist Physicians and Aestheticians in performing safe therapies, promote patient education, encourage robust clinical research and begin to define the scope and anticipated effects of these procedures.
Platelet Rich Plasma has been used for almost 20 years in dental medicine and is also playing a prominent role in Aesthetics, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, where the procedure is widely used among professional athletes to accelerate the natural healing process after injuries.

In recent years, PRP have been used in the Aesthetic field, as an accelerator of the healing process. Aiding in aesthetic procedures like Laser Resurfacing & Skin Rejuvenation.

Great results have been shown in the Aesthetic aspect such as:

• Crinkling skin around the eyes.
• Cheeks and mid face.
• Neck.
• Jawline.
• Chest and décolletage.
• Back of hands and arms.
• Most body areas.
• Stimulates hair growth on scalp.

Because the goal of PRP therapy is to resolve pain through healing, it could prove to have lasting results. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses. Research studies and clinical practice have shown PRP therapy to be very effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives.
The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.

There is an extensive history in the use of PRP for pain management dating back to 1987 for cardiac surgery. Since then, PRP has also been used by other specialists in dentistry,  cosmetics, and burn surgery. PRP has been used over the past ten years in the musculoskeletal field, with publications by orthopedic surgeons—including randomized clinical trials in repairing:

• Tennis elbow.
• Achilles tendon.
• Plantar fasciitis.
• Anterior cruciate ligament.
• Rotator cuff.
• Lower back pain.

Our staff of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons will provide you with the ability to use actual product on live patients for the Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Training program. A large percentage of your tuition is used to purchase all the necessary supplies, as well as the PRP products so that each attendee will have the ability to use these supplies during the training.
