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.
