Introduction to Basic Filler Course Overview

In addition to comprehensive pre-course online training modules, enjoy a comprehensive 1-day hands-on dermal filler injectable training course.

This course covers the same material as found in the dermal filler section of the Dual Toxin and Dermal Filler Course but allows practitioners the flexibility to schedule their training according to their own schedule.

The course will ensure you develop the foundational knowledge and injection experience to begin integrating dermal filler injections into your everyday practice. During the training, you will learn how to take a full-face treatment approach using both upper and lower-face injection techniques.

Course material covers the latest dermal filler treatments for overall facial rejuvenation. Areas injected include cheeks, chins, jawlines, lips, and melomental folds as well as fine line filling. It also includes a review of the patient consultation and treatment processes as students learn the steps involved in creating successful aesthetic patient results

The hands-on phase of our beginner dermal filler course features actual demonstrations from our expert trainers and is followed by hands-on training on live patient models. Here, students will enjoy a 2:1 ratio of trainee: trainer, ensuring a detailed, in-depth, comprehensive experience that allows students to be trained on how to safely and effectively administer various brands of dermal fillers using the actual product to common treatment sites.
