Choosing the Right Training Program: Tips for Medical Practitioners in Aesthetic Medicine

Mary Beth Hagen

Mary Beth Hagen founded TITAN Aesthetic to support great injectors in great practices providing great patient outcomes. Working in aesthetics since 2005, Mary Beth developed a strong knowledge base within the industry while working at both Medicis (now Galderma) and Allergan. While the BOTOX® Cosmetic product manager, she supported the launch of the Crow’s Feet Lines indication and created marketing programs like BOTOX® for Friends (BFF). She also worked closely with the FDA to protect the supply chain from importers and to protect providers that do business with strong ethics. As the National Account Director, she worked with corporately-directed organizations in aesthetics and understands the clinical and business side of aesthetic injectables.

Working with injector and physician key opinion leaders within the industry helped her develop the concept behind TITAN Aesthetic. Top injectors combine art and medicine to provide the best patient outcomes, so Mary Beth developed the TITAN Aesthetic Screening™ protocol to identify potential injectors with innate aesthetic aptitudes and strong communication skills. Patient safety and natural results should always be top of mind for aesthetic providers and Mary Beth hopes that bringing new injectors into the market with the right foundational training can help support great patient outcomes for years to come.
