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.
