What to Expect on Your First Day of Injectables Training
Starting your journey into medical aesthetics is both exciting and a little nerve-wracking—especially on your first day. If you’ve enrolled in a Botox and Dermal Filler course, you might be wondering what to expect. Here's a clear look at how your first day typically unfolds and how it sets the tone for your future in aesthetics.
📚 Welcome & Orientation
Your day will begin with a warm welcome and orientation session. You’ll meet your instructors—usually licensed medical professionals with years of hands-on aesthetic experience—and your fellow students, who may be nurses, doctors, or other regulated healthcare professionals like you.
Expect a quick overview of the course structure, safety guidelines, and learning objectives. This helps you understand what you'll be learning and how each part contributes to becoming a safe and confident injector.
🧠 Theory & Anatomy
Before any hands-on training begins, your instructors will guide you through essential theory:
● Facial anatomy and vascular structures
● Pharmacology of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers
● Patient assessment techniques
● Managing complications and ensuring safe practices
Even if you already have a medical background, this aesthetic-focused perspective is crucial.
✍️ Live Demonstrations
Once the theory is covered, your instructors will perform live demonstrations. You’ll observe real-time Botox and filler treatments with commentary, so you can connect textbook knowledge with real-world technique.
This part of the day helps you start visualizing how treatments are planned, performed, and adjusted for individual patient needs.
🖐️ Hands-On Practice
Most training programs, like those at Chellsey Institute, provide hands-on practice with live models right on your first day. You’ll inject under close supervision, learning how to:
● Prepare and position your patient
● Choose appropriate injection sites
● Apply correct technique for both Botox and fillers
● Communicate clearly and confidently during procedures
This practical experience is where most students gain their first real boost of confidence.
📝 Recap & Q&A
The day typically ends with a debrief session and Q&A. You’ll review key takeaways, ask questions, and receive feedback on your first hands-on experience. It’s also a time to connect with your peers and start building a supportive network within the industry.
