The Advanced Dermal Filler Course is usually taken after the Dual Introduction to Toxin and Basic Filler and the Lower Face Cannula course. It is also suited to individuals who have been injecting for some time in their clinics and who want to add in the advanced areas of temples and tear troughs. This program is highly recommended to further increase filler injection skills and is best suited for injectors having some prior injection experience. Extensive pre-course online material covering anatomy, physiology, and complication management is provided to you prior to a personalized hands-on injection training day.

Products used include both Hyaluronic Acid Fillers as well as Radiesse. Both needle and cannula techniques are utilized appropriately. All mid and lower face treatment areas are covered (lips, chins, cheeks, jawlines, melomental fold, nasolabial folds) with an additional focus on the treatment of temples and tear troughs.

Student Feedback: Real Reviews, Real Impact

“Comparatively to previous foundational courses I’ve taken, APT has been the most comprehensive. I appreciate how it was rooted in evidence base practice and theories. The abundance of supplemental resources and academic resources and articles provide new injectors with a great sense of confidence to practice safely. - T.S”

“Very informative from the videos to articles to PDF's. I loved the way you used different techniques for learning rather than just using one. – K.B”
