COURSE OVERVIEW

To optimize outcomes with dermal fillers, healthcare professionals require training regarding injection of all dermal fillers. Of particular concern, the use of blunt tip microcannulas for injection of dermal fillers requires advanced injector skill.

This course includes a combination of live, hands-on and on-demand activities that provide foundational knowledge regarding the indications for the use of microcannulas for dermal filler injections including benefits, risks, indications and contraindications of microcannulas including a demonstration of injection techniques for microcannulas. The hands-on course offers training regarding dermal filler injections via cannulas, including knowledge about the anatomy and various techniques to facilitate expertise in providing these procedures.
