Complications Mastery in Aesthetic Injectables

International Live Stream

COURSE OVERVIEW

Certain outcomes may not qualify as severe complications but might require correction using agents like Hyaluronidase, which are highly effective but necessitate proper training for safe and efficient use.

 

The program initiates with training in relevant facial anatomy, emphasizing injection techniques for the face. Many practitioners have adopted techniques involving "blind injections," thus it's crucial to recognize adverse outcomes stemming from poor technique resulting from such injections. While some outcomes may not constitute serious complications, they may still necessitate correction using agents like Hyaluronidase, which require adequate training for safe and effective utilization.

 

Even with proper technique and adherence to strict safety protocols, you may encounter patients treated by other practitioners who developed complications or undesirable outcomes. Complications vary in severity, and this program will equip you with detailed, up-to-date treatment protocols for addressing the most common complications.

​

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

Upon finishing this program, participants will develop a comprehensive grasp of the following objectives:

 

  1. Identify potential issues and complications linked to aesthetic injectable treatments.

  2. Assess recommendations for crash kits and effectively educate patients pre- and post-procedure to mitigate adverse events.

  3. Deliver thorough patient education on procedures, informed consent, expectations, and potential complications.

  4. Master appropriate preparation and administration techniques for medications such as hyaluronidase, sodium thiosulfate, antibiotics, steroids, heparin, and nitro-paste.

  5. Attain proficiency in utilizing microcannula injections and other injection techniques for risk minimization.

  6. Comprehend the depth and placement of dermal fillers and employ avoidance strategies for specific facial and body areas.

  7. Review both absolute and relative contraindications for aesthetic injectable treatments and ensure compliance with procedural guidelines.

  8. Explore anatomical considerations for commonly treated body areas, alongside pre- and post-procedure instructions and treatment protocols.

  9. Develop competencies in managing complications, adverse reactions, and suboptimal outcomes associated with facial and body contouring procedures.
