Participants rotate through two immersive stations:

Cadaver Injection Lab

  • Inject dyed dermal fillers into cadaver tissue
  • Visualize product placement through guided dissection
  • Understand how injection depth and plane affect outcomes
  • Learn how to avoid complications with anatomical precision

Guided Assessment & Treatment Planning Lab

  • Volunteer as a mock patient or practice on peers
  • Learn the art of facial analysis
  • Build treatment plans based on anatomy and aesthetic goals
  • Refine consultation and assessment techniques

Closing SessionQ&A, Key Takeaways & Certification

  • Open Q&A with faculty
  • Clinical pearls and safety reminders
  • Certificate of completion

What you'll gain

01
Strengthen your anatomical knowledge for safer injections
02
Improve your assessment and treatment planning skills
03
Gain confidence with advanced injection techniques
04
Understand true filler placement through dissection correlation
05
Enhance patient outcomes while reducing complication risk
