Elevate your skill set during this course to discover advanced injecting techniques! This course reviews the basics of neuromodulators and injectable HA fillers before diving into advanced facial anatomy and aesthetic injection areas. This course teaches advanced neuromodulator and filler techniques while emphasizing the importance of full facial assessments.

Advanced Injectables course, students must complete Foundations of Aesthetic Medicine or an equivalent and perform at least 30 Neuromodulator and 30 Injectable HA Filler treatments.

Areas in this course include but are not limited to: tear troughs, temples, jawline, hands, SQ cheeks, neck, and more. We do discuss areas including nose, glabellar, forehead, and eyelids. However, these areas are extremely dangerous and injectors should ensure they are confident in all other areas of injecting before attempting these areas of the face.

The Advanced Injectables course in Barrie, ON, stands out for its use of live models and exclusive small-group settings. The intimate 3-person rotations ensure that every student receives personalized attention and ample hands-on experience, as they inject 16-18 live models.

These live models offer an unparalleled opportunity to understand real-time patient responses and nuances, which is pivotal in aesthetic medicine. The course's emphasis on small group sizes and live interactions not only enhances learning but also sets the stage for a more confident and informed practitioner.
