Dr. Jim recently returned to the lecture circuit speaking for BTL Industries/Aesthetics on implementing facial aesthetics in the cosmetic dental practice. Specifically on the technology of EMFACE and EXION which uses radiofrequency, HIFES (high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation) and RF microneedling. His passion for the subjects discussed is shared from being a “founder brand” CEO discussing products, equipment and systems his team and he uses daily.
