New Injector Training
A Level 1 starter course for licensed medical professionals entering aesthetic medicine. Two days in person in our Scottsdale practice, taught by the two injectors who work here every day.
The MODE Injector Academy is the in house training program of the MODE aesthetics practice in North Scottsdale, built on the MODE New Injector Training Manual written by our co-founder Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C. Level 1 is the starting point. It is written for licensed providers, RN, NP, PA, MD, DO, or dentist, who are drawn to aesthetics and have never held a syringe of filler.
Over two days you work through the full arc of a new injector's education. How neurotoxins and fillers actually work. The facial anatomy that keeps patients safe. The assessment habits that separate careful injectors from fast ones. Then you inject, supervised, on live models.
Cohorts stay small. You learn in the same treatment rooms we use with our own patients, the practice behind the Google reviews from MODE patients, with both instructors in the room.

Two days in person, start to finish.
The science
Facial aging, botulinum toxin science, the neurotoxin landscape, and the facial anatomy that keeps patients safe. The day ends with a live demonstration and supervised hands on injecting with live models.
Fillers and hands on
Hyaluronic acid science, product selection, and complication prevention. The day ends with a live demonstration and supervised injecting on live models with Marisa and Torey in the room, and your certificate of completion.
Taught by the injectors, not a training company.
Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C
Marisa co-founded MODE and leads our injectable practice. She wrote the MODE New Injector Training Manual that anchors this course, and she teaches the way she practices: anatomy first, restraint always.
Meet MarisaTorey Varner, RN
Torey is an aesthetic nurse injector who teaches neurotoxin technique to licensed professionals through shadow training in the Scottsdale aesthetic community. She brings that teaching practice to every Level 1 cohort.
Meet ToreyBefore you reserve a seat.
Licensed medical professionals who are new to aesthetics: RN, NP, PA, MD, DO, and dentists. Level 1 assumes no injection experience.
Level 1 is a starter course. If you have been injecting for a while, most of the material will be review. Reach out and we can talk through whether it fits.
Two full days of in-person instruction with both instructors, the printed MODE New Injector Training Manual and facial anatomy study guide, supervised hands on injecting with live models, and a certificate of completion.
No. We schedule live models for the hands on portions through our in house model program.

Level 1 is taught in person over two days by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, and Torey Varner, RN, the two nurse injectors who treat MODE's own patients, with both instructors in the room. Cohorts stay small and training happens in the practice's real treatment rooms, built on the MODE New Injector Training Manual that Marisa wrote.
The MODE Injector Academy is education for licensed medical professionals. Attendees are responsible for practicing within the scope of their license and the regulations of their state.
