Level 4 – Basic Facial Dermal Filler: Vermilion Border, Lips, Naso-Labial Folds, Cheeks & Marionette Lines

An introductory facial dermal filler course. Learn how to cautiously add facial volume and reduce deep facial lines and folds with dermal fillers. Level 4 is a comprehensive facial dermal filler course that reviews the anatomy, injection treatments and results of cases in Level 1 through 3, and presents them in combination with dermal fillers to complete the 3D analysis and rejuvenation of lost volume with predictable results.

This course proudly welcomes Dr. Kimit Rai as the Clinical Director.

Overview

Level 4 includes an online component (20 hrs), plus an extensive two-day clinical session held in Vancouver, BC.

Online Didactic

The online portion of Level 4 includes five sections:

  1. Introduction to Dermal Fillers
  2. Foundational Concepts
  3. Injection Techniques for Vermilion Border, Lips, Nasolabial folds, Interdental Papilla
  4. Clinical Techniques
  5. Complications

Learn how to use dermal filler to add volume to lips, cheeks, deep facial lines and folds. Level 4 begins with a review of how advanced techniques of botulinum toxin therapy are used in the mid and lower face to relax the muscles. Repeated treatment with botulinum toxin diminishes the subconscious habits that resulted in lines, depressions, lumps and bumps and can prolong the results of dermal filler. 

Clinical Session

The clinical portion of Level 4 includes a two-day hands-on session always held on a Friday and Saturday.

 

Day 1 (Friday) - Advanced Anatomy Review

Dr. Roberts & Dr. Rai provide an in-depth review of anatomy focused on the of the mid-face and lower face. In this integrative skull & cadaver lab, learn how surface features and bony landmarks relate to underlying musculature.

 

Day 2 (Saturday) - Clinical Hands-on

Day 2 is an advanced clinical hands-on practicum where you have the opportunity to watch a live demonstration and then inject dermal filler on your own patient models. Each practitioner must provide at least one patient model for treatment (and brining multiple patients is highly recommended).
