about

This collection provides a secure introduction to facial filler procedures. Based on Dr. Jani van Loghem’s PhD dissertation Optimizing Patient Safety during Facial Filler Treatments in Aesthetic Medicine, it teaches foundational protocols for essential facial indications. You’ll be introduced to HA fillers and biostimulatory injectables such as CaHA and PLLA, and learn how to perform evidence-based patient assessments, select the right products, and follow step-by-step protocols for safe and controlled injections.

theoretical content 

This collection includes detailed instruction videos that cover facial assessment and injection techniques, as well as discourses presented by Dr. Jani van Loghem and Dr. Job Thuis, covering the following topics:

01  hyaluronic acid and biostimulatory products

Get familiar with the essence of hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulators.

02  facial aging and anatomy

A deep dive into the intricate workings of aging and facial anatomy. Learn to diagnose age related anatomical changes and identify areas that can be improved.

03  product characteristics linked to clinical desired results

Learn how to link properties of hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulatory products to clinically desired outcomes. This discourse covers essential techniques in areas including the cheeks, jawline and perioral areas like lips, marionette lines and chin.

04  patient assessment

One of the most important parts of a great clinical result is understanding where the fillers should be placed. Facial assessment, based on evidence-based strategies, plays a pivotal role in achieving optimum outcomes.

05  contraindications, documentation and preparation for injections

Great results start with great preparations. Learn how to properly plan and set up your treatments.

06  treatment techniques and avoidance of complications

Based on the anatomy of the face, we will explain why we have chosen for these specific protocols for different low and moderate risk facial indications. You will understand that even though you may be a beginner, we will focus on cannula use because of the lower risk profile compared to needles. Throughout the course, we focus on safety and the avoidance of complications.
