Education Week Course Content

Advanced course for neurotoxin (Botulinum Toxin A) applications in aesthetic medicine

Learning Objectives

Master advanced injection techniques for the forehead, peri-orbital, nasal, and neck areas.
Understand intricate muscle interactions and anatomical variations to minimize complications.
Apply evidence-based protocols for nuanced treatments (e.g., micro-dosing, combination therapies).
Develop skills to manage adverse events and tailor treatments to patient-specific anatomy.

Course Structure

Section 1: Forehead Area

Micro-Neurotoxin Techniques for Frontalis
- Definition and rationale for micro-dosing vs. standard dosing.
- Patient selection criteria for subtle vs. dramatic results.
Anatomy Deep Dive
- Frontalis muscle architecture and its interplay with the glabellar complex (procerus, corrugators, depressor supercilii).
- Septal structures and vascular anatomy (supratrochlear/
  supraorbital arteries) to avoid bruising.
Hands-On Techniques
- Horizontal vs. vertical injection patterns.
- Avoiding brow ptosis and “frozen” appearance.

Section 2: Peri-Orbital Area

Orbicularis Oculi (OO) Anatomy
- Differentiation of orbital (forceful closure) vs. palpebral (gentle closure) OO fibers.
- Relationships with brow elevators (frontalis) and depressors (corrugators).
Advanced Injection Strategies
- Crow’s feet: Layered approaches for dynamic vs. static wrinkles.
- Brow elevation: Targeting the lateral OO and tail of the brow.
- Avoiding complications: Ectropion, diplopia, and asymmetric smile.
Case Studies
- Managing post-treatment edema and addressing under/over-correction.

Section 3: Nasal Area

Muscle Anatomy
- Intrinsic muscles (nasalis, depressor septi) vs. extrinsic muscles (levator labii superioris alaeque nasi).
- Impact of muscle contractions on nasal aesthetics (e.g., nostril flaring).
Advanced Treatments
- Bunny Lines: Targeting the transverse nasalis while sparing the levators.
- Nostril Dilatation Correction: Balancing depressor septi and nasalis injections.
Risk Mitigation
- Avoiding lip ptosis or nasal valve collapse.

Section 4: Neck Area

Platysma Anatomy and Dynamics
- Platysmal bands, decussation patterns, and interactions with mentalis muscle.
- Cervical retaining ligaments and their clinical implications.
Nefertiti Lift Modifications
- Enhancing jawline definition by targeting platysma-cervical fascia junctions.
- Adjusting doses for male vs. female patients.
Complication Management
- Dysphagia prevention: Safe zones and depth guidelines.
- Addressing weak neckline or paradoxical banding.

Filler Injection Course

Course Structure

1. Introduction & Pre-Procedure Essentials

Safety protocols: Hygiene, emergency preparedness, and legal/ethical considerations.
Patient assessment: Anatomy review, skin type analysis, and psychological evaluation.
Documentation: Informed consent, pre/post-procedure photography, and marking techniques.

2. Introduction & Pre-Procedure Essentials

Mechanisms, Indications, and Product Selection:

Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Rheology, cross-linking, and reversible vs. non-reversible fillers.
Poly-Lactic Acid (PLLA/PDLLA): Biostimulation principles, longevity, and layering techniques.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Polycaprolactone (PCL): Structural support and collagen induction.
Emerging options: PMMA, HAAP, and combination therapies (e.g., fillers + toxins).

3. advanced techniques

Anatomic Zones & Injection Strategies (Demonstration + Theory):

Forehead: Supraperiosteal vs. subcutaneous approaches; avoiding vascular compromise.
Temporal Zone: Volumization for hollowing; cannula use and safety margins.
Tear Trough: Layering techniques, blending with midface, and avoiding Tyndall effect.
Nasolabial Fold: Dynamic vs. static folds; differential product selection.
Cheek/Pre-Auricular Area: 3D volumization, lifting effects, and avoiding overcorrection.
Chin: Projection vs. contouring; balancing with jawline harmonization.

4. Complications: Prevention & Management

Early Recognition:
Vascular occlusion (blanching, pain), hypersensitivity, nodules, and infection.
Emergency Protocols:
Hyaluronidase administration, aspiration techniques, and escalation pathways.
Case Simulations: Group exercises on complication scenarios.

5. OBSERVER practical session

Structured Practice:
- Rotating stations for each facial zone (forehead, tear trough, chin, etc.).
- Cadaver models/synthetic skin (if available) for safe practice.
- Real-time feedback from instructors.
