Lecture 1

• Understand neurotoxin mechanism, indications, and benefits: Explore how neurotoxins affect muscle activity, reduce wrinkles, and their medical and cosmetic uses.​
• Master neurotoxin administration: Learn preparation techniques, injection methods, anatomical landmarks, and safety precautions.​
• Familiarize with facial anatomy: Enhance knowledge of facial and neck muscles to optimize neurotoxin treatments.​
• Discuss supplies and complications: Cover necessary equipment, potential complications (e.g., injection site reactions), and their prevention and management.​
• Compare neurotoxin options: Provide an overview of available aesthetic neurotoxins, including characteristics, formulations, and specific uses.​
• Perfect the consultation process: Focus on effective communication, patient assessment, expectation management, and personalized treatment approaches.​

Lecture 2

• Educate the audience about the aging process and volume loss in the skin, emphasizing the role of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin.​
• Provide a comprehensive understanding of dermal fillers, their benefits, and applications in addressing facial volume loss and rejuvenation.​
• Highlight contraindications of dermal fillers and potential complications, emphasizing the importance of patient assessment and risk management.​
• Discuss the vascular occlusion protocol to manage this rare but serious complication, including early recognition and effective intervention techniques.​
• Explain the rheology and G prime of dermal fillers, showcasing how these properties influence the performance, lifting capacity, and duration of results.​
• Additionally, review injection techniques, insertion points, and the differences between cannulas and needles for dermal filler administration.

Lecture 3

• Understand the aging process and its impact on collagen production: Explain the natural aging process and how it affects collagen production, leading to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and volume loss.
• Discuss the benefits of biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse: Explore the advantages of using biostimulators for facial rejuvenation, including their ability to stimulate collagen production, restore volume, and improve skin texture and tone.
• Compare the risks and side effects of biostimulators: Analyze the potential risks and side effects associated with biostimulator injections, such as allergic reactions, infection, nodules, and bruising. Discuss ways to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety.
• Evaluate injection techniques for biostimulators: Examine different injection techniques used for administering Sculptra and Radiesse, including the depth, angle, and volume of injections. Highlight best practices to achieve optimal results and minimize complications.
• Assess the longevity and maintenance of results: Understand the duration of results with biostimulators and the importance of maintenance treatments. Discuss patient expectations and the need for follow-up injections to maintain the desired outcomes.

Lecture 4

• Develop a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and distinctions between PRP and PRF in the realm of regenerative aesthetics.
• Investigate and compare the efficacy of stem cells and exosomes in aesthetic applications.
• Assess the role of peptides (BPC-157, Thymosin Beta 4, GHK-Cu) in wound healing within the context of aesthetics and regenerative medicine.
• Evaluate the diverse applications of peptides and growth factors in hair restoration procedures.
• Review the procedural aspects involved in utilizing PRP, PRF, stem cells, exosomes, peptides, and growth factors in aesthetic treatments, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of their integration and efficacy.
