Who Can Legally Administer Neurotoxins & Fillers in Colorado (Licensure & Delegation)
It’s extremely important to understand:
Injectable treatments (fillers, neuromodulators, etc.) are considered medical-aesthetic services under Colorado law. Elite Aesthetics Academy+2Aesthetic CRNA+2
Under law, only licensed medical professionals — such as MD/DO, PA, NP, RN/LPN, DDS — or individuals properly delegated and supervised by a licensed physician may legally perform dermal filler injections. Elite Aesthetics Academy+2LawShun+2
Being “certified” or “trained” in fillers does not override the requirement to hold an eligible medical license or to work under appropriate physician supervision. The Skin Company+1
Important Notice:
If you are a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist — without a medical license — you are not legally authorized to inject dermal fillers in Colorado. This training program can provide valuable knowledge (anatomy, consultation, safety, etc.), but you will not be permitted to inject unless you also hold an eligible medical license or are formally delegated under a licensed physician.
Mastering THE ART of dermal fillers
Master the art of cosmetic injections with our specialized training program. Our comprehensive courses cover an introduction to dermal fillers for lips, cheeks and chin led by a seasoned professional in the field.

What This Course Covers
Our Dermal Filler Training Program in Denver, Colorado offers comprehensive education for licensed medical professionals (or properly delegated practitioners) who want to provide safe, high-quality injectable aesthetic treatments. This program includes:
In-depth facial anatomy and vascular/nerve structure review
Training on filler types (Hyaluronic Acid, volumizing, contouring, etc.)
Injection techniques: lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, mid-face volume, facial sculpting and contouring
Needle and cannula techniques, depth control, product layering, and safety protocols
Client assessment, consultation, medical history, consent, and documentation
Recognition and management of complications (bruising, swelling, occlusion, asymmetry)
Aftercare, follow-up, and patient education
Hands-on practice on models (for eligible licensees) with supervision
This course ensures graduates are well-equipped — both technically and medically — to deliver dermal filler services safely and effectively.
Who This Course is For — Prerequisites & Eligibility
Eligible to Inject
Licensed physicians (MD / DO)
Nurse Practitioners (NP)
Physician Assistants (PA)
Registered or Licensed Practical Nurses (RN / LPN)
Dentists (DDS / DMD) where permitted
Any healthcare provider legally authorized under Colorado law to perform cosmetic injectables under physician delegation or independent licensure
Before attending hands-on sessions, we verify your valid license and require appropriate documentation.
✅ Educationally Beneficial — But Non-Injecting (Observation / Learning Only)
Licensed estheticians or cosmetologists may enroll to gain advanced aesthetic knowledge, including anatomy, filler theory, injection safety, consultation, contraindication awareness, and client care. However, they must understand that this does not give legal authorization to inject unless their licensure and supervision status allow it.
Recommended Additional Medical-Aesthetic Background
Because dermal fillers involve deep anatomical knowledge and medical risk management, we strongly recommend — if you’re not already medically licensed — pursuing additional credentials such as:
Anatomy & Physiology courses (community college or accredited online programs)
Basic Life Support (BLS) / CPR Certification
Phlebotomy certification or comparable medical-level training
Bloodborne pathogen / infection-control training
These credentials significantly improve safety practices, clinical awareness, and job prospects in med-spa or clinical settings.
Course Outline & What You’ll Learn
Facial Anatomy & Vascular Mapping — understanding facial musculature, nerves, arteries, and aesthetic balance
Filler Types & Filler Science — HA fillers, volumizing, biocompatibility, appropriate product selection
Injection Techniques & Tools — needle vs. cannula, linear threading, fanning, layering, depth control, safety protocols
Treatment Areas & Indications — lip enhancement, cheek volume, jawline contour, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under-eye (tear trough, if allowed), chin/jaw shaping
Client Assessment & Treatment Planning — medical history, contraindications, realistic expectations, informed consent, before/after photography & charting
Complication Management & Safety — bruising, swelling, occlusion risk, infection control, emergency protocols
Hands-On Practice on Live Models — under supervision for eligible licensees; practical experience in a safe, controlled environment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can a licensed esthetician take this course and inject fillers afterward?
A: No. Without a medical license or proper physician delegation under Colorado law, you cannot legally perform injectable treatments — even if you complete the course. This training is valuable for education, consultation skills, and future career planning, but does not override licensure requirements.
Q: I’m a nurse (RN / NP / PA) — is this course enough to start injecting immediately?
A: For many licensed nurse practitioners and PAs, yes — provided state regulations allow it and you follow proper documentation, consent, and supervision standards as required by Colorado law.
Q: What if I want to become licensed in medical aesthetics but currently hold only an esthetician or cosmetology license?
A: We recommend first completing additional medical-education prerequisites (e.g., Anatomy & Physiology, phlebotomy, BLS), or pursuing a nursing or allied-health license. Once medically licensed, you can then qualify for injectable training under this program.
Q: Are complications common with dermal fillers?
A: When performed properly by trained, licensed professionals who follow safety and sanitation protocols, complications are rare. Proper anatomy knowledge, injection technique, patient screening, and aftercare greatly reduce risk.
Q: Does completing this course exempt me from ongoing training or continuing education?
A: No — the aesthetic medicine field evolves rapidly. We recommend continuing education, safety refreshers, and staying up to date on best practices and regulatory changes.
