Aesthetic Injector Training Program

Learn to inject with confidence. Naya’s aesthetic injector training program gives licensed medical professionals hands-on experience with Botox, dermal fillers, and facial anatomy — taught inside a working aesthetics clinic by a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

A program built on real clinical practice

Most injector courses are taught in a hotel ballroom over a single weekend. Naya’s program is different: you train in an active medical aesthetics clinic, learning the way injecting is actually practiced — from patient consultation and facial assessment through dosing, technique, and managing the rare complication.

The program is led by Carolyn Pampalone, MSN, FNP-BC, the board-certified clinical co-founder of Naya Aesthetics & Wellness, who has performed cosmetic injectable treatments for nearly two decades. Cohorts are kept small so every clinician gets direct, hands-on instruction with live models — not just observation.

Who can enroll

In California, cosmetic injectables may only be administered by licensed medical professionals. This program is designed for clinicians who hold an active California license in one of the following roles:

Physicians (MD / DO)

Adding aesthetics to an existing practice

Nurse Practitioners (NP)

Expanding into medical aesthetics

Physician Assistants (PA)

Building injectable skills

Registered Nurses (RN)

Injecting under physician delegation & supervision

Dentists (DDS / DMD)

Facial aesthetics within scope

No prior injecting experience is required. We welcome clinicians who are brand new to aesthetics as well as established injectors looking to refine technique.

What you'll learn

The curriculum balances didactic foundations with extensive hands-on practice, so you leave able to assess a patient, plan treatment, and inject safely.

Facial Anatomy

Muscles, vasculature, and danger zones that govern safe injection.

Neuromodulators

Botox, Dysport, Daxxify & Letybo — mechanism, dilution, and dosing.

Dermal Fillers

Consultation & Assessment

Reading the face, setting expectations, and treatment planning.

Injection Technique

California injector requirements at a glance

In California, only licensed medical professionals may administer botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. Registered nurses may inject under the delegation and supervision of a supervising physician, following a good-faith exam and a valid treatment order. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants practice within their authorized scope, and physicians and dentists inject within their licensure. Training does not change your scope of practice — always confirm current requirements with the California Board of Registered Nursing, the Medical Board of California, or your relevant licensing board.

Frequently asked questions

Who can enroll in an aesthetic injector training program?

In California, cosmetic injectables may only be administered by licensed medical professionals. Our program is open to physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners (NP), physician assistants (PA), registered nurses (RN), and dentists who hold an active California license. Registered nurses inject under physician delegation and supervision as required by state regulations.
