about this course

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and frequently applied medical aesthetic treatments next to botulinum toxin. The number of biostimulatory products (such as Radiesse, HarmoniCA, Sculptra and Ellancé) and collagen stimulating procedures in aesthetics is growing fast. Specific patient assessment, choice of product and a controlled injection using a cannula or needle are essential to patient satisfaction and safety. This course will teach you how to avoid complications and inject hyaluronic acid and biostimulators confidently.
