Program Description:

These 4-hour workshops will provide advanced instruction on nonsurgical facial rejuvenation approaches in the upper, middle, and lower face along with expert mentoring on improving injection techniques. Techniques for full-face rejuvenation, as well as treating areas beyond the face will also be addressed. This course specializes in the use of neurotoxins and HA fillers.

Program Format:

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the program, participants will be better able to:

• Recall basics of facial anatomy and physiology to assess anatomic changes related to skin aging
• Perform comprehensive patient assessment and manage patient expectations to improve outcomes
• Identify facial mapping areas specific to muscle control and facial volume depletion to analyze which facial zones to target
• Summarize the evidence and data involving botulinum toxin type A, HA-based dermal fillers, and biostimulators/semi-permanent fillers to assist in the appropriate selection and placement of these agents
• Identify appropriate patients who may benefit from nonsurgical procedures with injectable agents alone or in combination and increase skill in using these agents effectively
• Understand protocols and techniques for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation with injectable agents to optimize patient outcomes and reduce complications
• Implement best practices in injection technique for ongoing follow-up

Who Should Attend:

Clinicians with experience in performing non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures on a frequent-to-daily basis. These workshops will address more complex cases, full-face rejuvenation, as well as expanding to areas beyond the face.
