Aesthetic Procedures is a two-day course.


As the population ages, more clinicians are asked to provide non-surgical aesthetic services for their patients. Designed for providers who have not been doing aesthetics in their practice, this course will review common aesthetic techniques currently suitable for primary care physicians. The techniques will be demonstrated when appropriate. Some approaches may require more in-depth study before implementation in your practice. The course will demonstrate how to appropriately work up an evaluation for the cosmetic patient and conduct an effective patient consultation. Learners will also be familiarized with botulinum toxin A, soft tissue fillers, submental fat injections, and cosmetic laser use.

Additionally, handouts will include information on facial peels, microdermabrasion, and aesthetic anesthesia and will be discussed as time permits.  Finally, the learner will be familiarized with marketing and establishing a new aesthetic practice. Attendees will participate in locating appropriate areas for botulinum toxin injection sites and dosing.  Some injections of botulinum toxin and fillers are typically performed by the course director when appropriate patients are available.
