Introduction to Cannulas

The introduction to cannulas workshop is a 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments. Students are presented a broad overview of the utility of cannulas, their advantages over sharp needles, “best practices” of techniques and targeted anatomic regions most commonly utilized with cannulas. A minimum of 2 years previous injectables experience is required prior to registration for this class.

Advanced Cannula Course

The advanced cannula workshop is a 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments. This course expands on the introduction to cannulas course. Here, more progressive techniques are introduced including the utilization of cannulas in complex multi-planer volumization, dorsal hand and temporal volumization techniques, and utilization of cannulas in the administration of poly-L-lactic acid. A minimum of 3 years previous injectables experience and attendance of the introductory cannula course is required prior to registration for this course.

Panfacial Rejuvenation

The Panfacial workshop is a 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments. It is among the most advanced courses taught in aesthetic facial rejuvenation and utilizes both neuromodulators as well as dermal fillers, biostimulators, and more. The course emphasis focuses on panfacial assessment and recognition of native facial dys-balance with associated adaptive treatment strategies. Students are allotted an hour of one-on-one hands on training with the instructor(s). This is considered an advanced workshop and requires a minimum of 3 years of previous injection experience utilizing neuromodulators in dermal fillers. Additionally, students must pass the online CME Activity “Anatomical Context of Facial Aesthetics” and “Artistry and Technique of Facial Rejuvenation” prior to participation in the course. Additional course requirements include fulfillment of the Introduction to Cannulas Course as well as personal experience with midfacial volumization techniques.

Full Day Intensive

This is an all day course divided into a morning segment with a designated anatomy lab which demonstrates salient surgical anatomy with associated neurologic and vascular structures, on a pre-dissected cadaver head, presented by a world renowned anatomist. Emphasis is placed on identifying correct surgical planes in order to optimize facial volumization and neuromodulator techniques. Following a one-hour lunch break, the afternoon session is the standard 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments, with an emphasis on utilizing dermal fillers and cannulas to optimize product placement and ultimately, outcomes. A minimum of 2-years injectables experience with neuromodulators and dermal fillers is required prior to registering for this course.

The Male Facial Aesthetic

The Male Facial Aesthetic workshop is a 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments.

A minimum of 2-years prior experience in neuromodulators and dermal fillers is required prior to registering for this course.

Management of the Submentum

The Submentum Management workshop is a 4-hour training course divided into didactic and hands-on instructional segments. Relevant submental anatomy is reviewed including salient neurologic markers. This is followed by techniques utilized in optimizing the cervico-mental angle with the use of deoxycholic acid injections. A minimum of 2-years prior experience in neuromodulators and dermal fillers is required prior to registering for this course.
