Hands-On: Cosmetics

Course information

Hands-On: Cosmetics is designed to expand on the popular workshops offered at other AAD meetings. Attendees will practice injection techniques with cutaneous procedural head models. Anatomy as it relates to injectables will be emphasized, and approaches to patient assessment, treatment planning, avoiding adverse events, and product selection will be covered.

Upon conclusion of this course, participants will be able to assess the benefits and risks of performing procedures commonly used in cosmetic dermatology according to a patient’s clinical situation, describe the risks of each cosmetic procedure and methods to minimize such risks, and perform procedures commonly used in cosmetic dermatology, specifically botulinum toxin injections and fillers.
