About Our Academy
Why We're different...
After traveling nationally to train for more than 5 years & being named CourseKarma's Instructor of the Year in 2021 for injectables, Dr. Hughes made the decision with tons of encouragement from those she's trained previously to found an injector's academy where professionals will instead travel to The Tooth Booth to learn exactly how it's all executed on the leopard carpet. Frustrated with her own early injectables training experiences, where an overload of brand new and poorly presented information was thrown at a large group where instructors and models were sparse, Dr. Hughes has formulated a course curricula to best usher professional growth in aesthetics through foundational learning based on the years of her own educational experiences as well as her personal experiences in teaching so many others.
What to expect: a boutique learning experience in a real practice setting with a small class size (only 6 students per course), live model training and nearly all-inclusive tuition that will (in the case of most classes) include coursework, learning materials, injectables products, included free assistant training, meals, hotel accommodations, ground transportation from our closest international airport (BNA) and to all scheduled course events via our Tooth Booth "party bus," because all we want you to have to think about is learning! Courses at our academy are set-up so that professionals can begin AND advance with us in a manner to inspire confidence as applied knowledge and skills he or she will take home to his or her practice benefiting those patients of the practice, instead of the intimidating, overwhelming and overcrowded experience with too few instructors and models for which so many professionals overpay on a weekend course that over-promises attendees will leave ready to tackle more than can be achieved in such a setting. Our philosophy is that knowledge in built on knowledge meaning that your skill as an injector is best built upon in a slow and methodical manner, and that's exactly how we've modeled our small class course schedule.
BUT...because this isn't your typical injectables training, it isn't as easy as paying for your coursework to add your name to the academy roster. If Dr. Hughes is keeping her class size limited for your best learning, then she has to also ensure that the most appropriate candidates are gaining those limited spots as we've had a waiting list since before the official launch of our academy. In light of this, there is an application process for our courses. Below you'll find a list of upcoming courses along with a link for application to our academy on which you'll be asked to denote which course & date you're applying. Once your application is reviewed to make sure you're an appropriate fit for the coursework requested, you will be notified of course acceptance, placement, and be given a link to secure your course position with a deposit.
We look forward to introducing you to or helping you to grow within the aesthetic injectables community.

ALL ABOUT Neuromodulators
Introduction to Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
Introduction to Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
An introduction to the full face application (both on and off label uses) of neuromodulators such as Botox & Dysport. Since Dr. Hughes believes injectors can't best treat with fillers until they can first confidently & comprehensively treat all muscles of the face, we have authored this course to not only serve as your comprehensive guide to neurotoxins, but to fully set the foundation for your further endeavours in injectables. Attendees will learn aesthetic & therapeutic applications of neurotoxins along with how best to introduce them to your practice from a business & marketing standpoint.

You'll be introduced to the most common dermal fillers on the market today, their uses, safe applications including how to prevent, recognise & reverse a vascular complication, and techniques in the areas that are not only the easiest for those just beginning with fillers, but that are also the areas that should be treated first when practicing comprehensive facial aesthetics. We will practice in areas of foundational support for the face: mid-face (cheeks), peri-oral (nasiolabial folds), & lower face deficiencies (chin).

Advanced Neuromodulators & HA Fillers
For those injectors who a.) have had previous training in, b.) are confident & comfortable with, and c.) are ready to expand on their knowledge in full face neuromodulators & HA dermal fillers while "putting it all together" for best treatment sequencing & results. The most skilled injectors are the ones that treat comprehensively, & you can't successfully do that without being able to plan the case appropriately. Because of this, attendees will, in addition to 1.) troubleshooting any difficulties they're having with injectables, & 2.) learning the safe applications (including how to prevent, recognise & reverse vascular complications) and techniques in the more technique sensitive areas (in/around the lips, downturns, jawline, V3-V4 cheek vectors) with needle & cannula delivery, will 3.) also concentrate on full facial comprehensive treatment planning with both neurotoxins & HA fillers.

Advanced Profile enhancements
Advanced Neuromodulators & HA Fillers
Advanced Neuromodulators & HA Fillers
As the "princess of profiles," perhaps the one thing Dr. Hughes is best known for among patients & other injectors is her work in profile enhancements with injectables (Kybella, HA fillers, & neurotoxins). Attendees do not have to have prior training with deoxycholic acid (Kybella) as it's safe & successful application into your practice will be covered in this course. Attendees should however have prior training in full face neuromodulators & HA dermal fillers to be confident & comfortable injecting both. Attendees will learn how best to identify, treatment plan, & treat profile enhancement cases safely & successfully with a combination of deoxycholic acid, HA fillers, & neuromodulators.
