Non-surgical facial aesthetics is a rapidly growing field, with interest from several surgical, medical, and dental professionals. Any clinician desiring to embark on this field requires the analytical and technical knowledge and tools to do so safely. This course aims to gather an internationally renowned faculty, including dental, surgical, and mental health clinicians, to provide a constructive day, covering a range of information required for those interested in facial aesthetics.

The meeting aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of facial aesthetic analysis and treatments, emphasizing key considerations. It will foster critical evaluation of facial soft tissues both at rest and in motion while exploring surgical and non-surgical augmentation techniques. Participants will gain insights into the use of Botulinum Toxin A and soft tissue fillers, alongside the psychosocial aspects of facial aesthetics, including the recognition and management of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

By attending the meeting, you will

  • Gain the knowledge to establish and manage a successful aesthetic practice, understanding principles, and avoiding common pitfalls
  • Master the safe and effective administration of Botulinum Toxin A and facial fillers and injectables 
  • Develop the ability to identify and address body dysmorphic disorder
  • Understand the legal responsibilities and implications associated with non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments
