+ Target Audience: clinicians and aesthetic physicians

 

+ Information:
Held June 11-12, 2022 in Nashville, TN, with Drs. Cotofana, Biesman, Green and Mandy, this course offers high-yield lectures and recordings of cadaver lab dissections and injection technique pearls.

Improve your clinical and functional knowledge of facial anatomy for cosmetic procedures! This course includes high-yield lectures and in-depth cadaveric specimen dissections with instructional dialogue on anatomy, injection technique demonstrations on cadaveric specimen, and bonus thread lift technique demonstration. Attendees will be guided through clinically relevant techniques, safety aspects and improved outcome aspects as they relate to dermal filler, neuromodulator and biostimulator injections.

Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:

• Identify functional and structural facial anatomy relevant to cosmetic injection and thread lift procedures.
• Apply facial anatomy knowledge to assessment and planning for cosmetic procedures.
• Implement injection techniques and strategies that optimize safety as well as aesthetic outcomes.

Best for clinicians and aesthetic providers who perform or plan to perform injectable facial procedures and need a focused, anatomy‑driven, self‑paced refresher on safe, effective injection techniques.

Who This On‑Demand Course Is Best For

• Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons seeking practical, procedure‑focused anatomy review.
• Plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians who want a concise anatomy refresher before performing injectables.
• Advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs) and dentists who administer neuromodulators or fillers and must understand facial layers, danger zones, and injection safety.
• Residents, fellows, and trainees preparing for hands‑on workshops or clinical practice.

This aligns with ASDS’s on‑demand educational offerings that emphasize short, expert‑led modules and anatomy demonstrations for procedural skills.

What You’ll Learn

• Detailed facial anatomy relevant to injections: superficial and deep fat compartments, vascular anatomy, and neural landmarks.
• Technique‑specific pearls for neuromodulators and hyaluronic acid fillers, including depth, angle, and volume considerations.
• Safety protocols to avoid vascular occlusion, nerve injury, and other complications.
• Clinical decision making for product selection and patient‑specific planning.

ASDS on‑demand content often includes recorded demonstrations and cadaveric anatomy segments to reinforce spatial understanding.
