The hands-on portion of the course will introduce participants to several different dermal filler product brands including but not limited to Juvederm Ultra, Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Sculptra and Radiesse. Students will learn the advantages of each of these dermal fillers as well as how to select the best product for each client’s unique needs. Students will also be instructed in how to properly prepare and administer dermal filler injections for maximum safety and efficacy.
Demonstration videos will be included to demonstrate the proper injection techniques for glabellar lines (between eyebrows) and crow’s feet, forehead lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and the chin crease. The course will also address the unique challenges that may arise during the course of performing a dermal filler treatment and how to handle these situations appropriately.
Students will be given the opportunity to perform a number of dermal filler injections in the cheeks and nasolabial folds with guidance from an experienced instructor. This part of the course is designed to give the participant the confidence and ability to immediately integrate these new procedures into their practice.
In addition to the hands-on experience, this course will cover how to properly record and document each client’s pre-treatment condition as well as their results from any treatment provided. This is essential for both medical-legal reasons and for ensuring the highest level of patient care. A series of facial rejuvenation photographs and a treatment record form will be provided to each attendee. This is an important component to your successful implementation of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers in the clinical setting. Detailed instructions for the use of this documentation system will be covered as well as the nitty gritty details of office integration systems for safe and effective delivery of dermal fillers.
