Pearls and Pitfalls of Aesthetic Injectables


Back to Package

As the demand for facial rejuvenation increases, advances in medically-based, non-surgical treatments provide more options than ever before. The increasing use of facial injectables, such as botulinum toxin and facial fillers are major factors driving the aesthetic medicine market. This presentation will focus on these injectables to achieve the best possible esthetic and therapeutic outcomes. An understanding of facial anatomy, the aging process, and safety issues for injectable therapy is needed to diagnose and recommend aesthetic treatment plans. A review of neurotoxins and dermal fillers, including the mechanism of action, side effects, expected results, and complications with protocols will be discussed. The goal is to learn the foundational integration of neurotoxin and dermal filler therapy into practice.
