COURSE OUTLINE

 

Introduction to Facial Aesthetics

Botulinum toxin A is often the first procedure in facial rejuvenation treatments. This module reviews beauty ideals, the history of neuromodulators, assessment of patient desires and needs, and appropriate treatment selection and sequence.

Anatomy of the Face & Neck
Knowledge of muscular facial anatomy is imperative for every clinician to achieve predictable results and minimizes the risk of complications. This section will cover detailed muscle anatomy, tissue layers, structure and function of skin layers, and review precise marking techniques.
Review of Botulinum Toxin A

Botulinum Toxin A works by inhibiting the synaptic release of acetylcholine which weakens or ceases muscle contraction. This module will discuss the mechanism of action, basic pharmacology review, clinical indications, potential contraindications, reconstitution and safe handling, and dosing ranges. It will also evaluate the subtle nuances between the currently licensed neuromodulators on the Canadian market.

Consultation and Complications

Facial Aging
This module covers intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors, skin classification systems, aging classification systems, the role of muscles in facial aging.
Patient Assessment & Treatment Planning

Record Keeping

Documentation of the patient’s pre-existing condition, areas injected, and treatment results are critical for proper patient care and evaluation as well as for legal reasons. Documentation guidelines will be reviewed and examples of pre/post treatment instructions and consent forms will be available for review. Photography for medical records will also be reviewed.
