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 injecting areas. This course teaches advanced neuromodulator and filler techniques while emphasizing the importance of full facial assessments.

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.

Why IIAM

Our team has been training medical professionals in the art and science of neuromodulators and hyaluronic acid fillers for over 10 years. Many of our students wish to progress to advanced areas, so we have developed the Advanced Injectables Course.

Accurately and consistently identify the veins, arteries, and nerves in the danger zones within the targeted areas of the face and the associated potential complications, (vascular occlusion, visual disturbances, nodules, granulomas, hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis) that can arise. Emphasis will be on eyes, lips, nose, and jawline.
Differentiate between the classes of injectable fillers with respect to viscosity, gel hardness, degree of cross linking, extrusion force, concentration, G Prime and duration of presence in the skin to select the most appropriate filler for the specific procedure, skin type, injection site, and injection device.
Apply drug monograph driven dose modification of neuromodulators based on muscle mass, ethnicity, age, and skin type.
Design holistic, 3-dimensional treatment plans accounting for gender and ethnic diversity in facial structure and skin types.
Translate the benefit of pan-facial treatments on the perception of others evidenced by observer reported outcomes
Identify the signs and symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder to evaluate patients possibly seeking excessive, unnecessary treatments with an aim to arrest the behavior.
Design post-treatment plans and follow-up requirements for patients that are aligned with established protocols and reflect differences in skin types

What are the prerequisites of this course?

To qualify for this course students must attend VIRTUAL: Foundations of Aesthetic Medicine or an equivalent course before registering for Advanced Injectables. In addition, all students must complete a minimum of 30 Neuromodulator and 30 Injectable HA Filler treatments prior to attending the hands-on training.

What can students do after taking this course?

Upon successful completion of our Advanced Injectables course, students will be uniquely qualified to handle treatments for intricate and complex facial areas. Given the detailed facial anatomy surrounding the eyes, temples, jawline, and more, these zones can be risky for those without specialized training. Over our course, students gain detailed insights and practice that will distinctly elevate their expertise. Alumni of this program can expect to stand out in the field, delivering unmatched patient satisfaction and superior treatment outcomes.

My course was well planned, organized and delivered. I arrived at the training centre with doubts about my desire to pursue this new branch of my career and a fuzzy idea about steps to take to organize it. It is clear now. I know I love this, I have the ability to develop competence in the field and I trust I will be able to develop and organize the business aspects of this new endeavour. Your staff is competent in their knowledge and in their abilities to transfer their expertise. They are kind, patient and have a good sense of humour. I would like to thank the demo patients. All of them were quite calm, patient and collaborative with the whole process. Not an easy task! I wish to extend a special thank you to Krystal for her guidance.

I was recommended this course by one of my friends who has taken it and I was told it was really good so... I really enjoyed the fact that we had so much hands-on practical portion of the training, that's not something you see in a lot of courses so that was really nice to see live patients and be able to actually do the injections. [IIAM] have done a really good job of covering all the bases - not just technique but the products and how to use them and even to a point where we are learning about the business aspect of it and how to manage patients... It's been very very informative. I highly recommend it, it was an easy no-brainer.

I wanted to write to say thanks for a most interesting and instructive course. Clearly, you have refined this course to make it work so well, and I was impressed by how well the timing worked, how well your nurses demonstrated to us, and how cleverly designed it was to allow us to learn bit by bit so it wasn't overwhelming. Overall it was a great learning experience and I just hope now I can put at least some of it into practice!

About seven years ago, when I thought I was going to do my whole career in [emergency medicine] I realized it was unsustainable, and really had to do some soul searching about what I wanted to do, how I wanted to pivot and that's when I found [IIAM] and pursued the training. Now I am at the point where I am working independently and am the medical director of Martin's Rejuvenation Centre and it's been an incredible journey. The [IIAM] aesthetic training really provided me with a springboard for a new life in a new career. The entry-level course is focused on neuromodulator and filler practical experience and really gives you the tools to do an assessment, formulate a treatment plan and get an understanding of how to set expectations.
