The safest injectors know what's underneath.
A physician-led dissection of the face, layer by layer, designed specifically for aesthetic injectors.
Complications happen in the anatomy you can't see.
Vascular occlusion, ptosis and asymmetry usually come back to the same thing: product placed in the wrong plane or near a vessel the injector didn't expect. Textbook diagrams show an average face. Real anatomy varies.
In the lab you'll trace the facial artery, find the fat compartments, feel the retaining ligaments and connect each structure to the technique you use on Monday morning.
The face, layer by layer.
Each session is led by the physician, with small groups at every specimen so you can see and ask questions up close.
Skin & superficial fat
The superficial fat compartments and how they shift with age.
The SMAS
The muscular aponeurotic system and its relationship to thread placement.
Facial vasculature
Facial, angular, labial and temporal vessels, including common variations.
Mimetic muscles
Origins, insertions and depth for precise neurotoxin placement.
Deep fat & ligaments
Deep compartments, retaining ligaments and safe supraperiosteal planes.
Danger zones
Glabella, nasal tip, temple and lip: where caution matters most.
