New Injector Training

A Level 1 starter course for licensed nurses entering aesthetic medicine. Three days in our Scottsdale practice, taught by the two injectors who work here every day.

The MODE Injector Academy is our in house training program, 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 nurses who are licensed, drawn to aesthetics, and have never held a syringe of filler.

Over three 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, with both instructors in the room.

• License required RN, NP, or PA in good standing
• Experience required None. Level 1 starts at the beginning
• Materials Printed MODE training manual and anatomy study guide
• Completion Certificate of completion

Becoming a MODE Injector

Patient communication, charting, documentation, ethical injecting, and building patient trust.

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.

Fillers

Hyaluronic acid science, rheology, product selection, and injection technique region by region. Complication prevention and management, in depth.

Hands on

Supervised injecting on live models with Marisa and Torey in the room. Assessment practice, charting, photography, and your certificate of completion.

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.

Torey 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.
