course information

about this course

Filler injections are among the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide, yet complications can occur even in expert hands. This Master Course equips healthcare providers with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to recognize, prevent, and manage complications effectively.

Key features:
- Online discourses and algorithms for complication management.
- Hands-on practice with mannequin models.
- Evidence-based approaches to vascular, inflammatory, infectious, and allergic complications.

theoretical content

The theoretical training is delivered through our digital platform under the section Online Learning Materials and it covers the latest insights and best practises on how to prevent and manage arterial embolisation of the peripheral circulation as well as the retinal circulation.

Participants will be able to access to:

  • discourses by Dr. Jani van Loghem & Dr. Philippe Snozzi
  • ebook ‘Filler Complications Management Algorithms - Pocket Guide’ by Dr. Jani van Loghem
  • selection of instruction videos
  • online examination to test your knowledge
  • receive your digital UMA Certification

The online learning material also includes discourses by Dr. Jani van Loghem and Dr. Philippe Snozzi, covering the following topics:

01  avoiding and minimizing complications

Safety is a cornerstone of any cosmetic injection ability. Learn what’s needed to avoid and minimize complications.

02  HA, CaHA and PLLA complication management

A deep dive into the complexity of specific complication management for HA, CaHA and PLLA treatments.

03  non-resorbable filler complication management

Non-resorbable filler complications still occur, the key to resolving these complications is adequate knowledge and skills.

04  ultrasound imaging in complication management

Vascular occlusions can be located using an ultrasound device. Learn how to use ultrasound to detect occlusions and guide Hyaluronidase injections to resolve them.

05  inflammatory and non-inflammatory nodules

Focal accumulations as well as immune related responses to fillers will be discussed and the latest protocols for management will be practiced.

06  permanent filler granulomas

As permanent fillers can be present in our patients indefinitely, we have to know how to deal with their complications even if we don't inject them.

07  infections

Various types of infections may occur after soft tissue filler injections. Knowing how to deal with them is mandatory for any injector.

08  allergic reactions

Different types of allergic reactions can occur. Some even requiring immediate intervention like anaphylactic shock.

hands-on training program day 01

Delegates practice both acute and late-onset filler complications in small breakout groups. Practical training includes:
- Acute ischemia scenarios (peripheral and retinal).
- Management of edema, nodules, discoloration, infections, and allergic reactions.

hands-on training

11:00 - 12:30

Acute situations practical skills training.
Our faculty will lead the skills lab. Each participant is confronted with an acute clinical situation and leads the appropriate management. Silicone mannequins are available for complication management skills practice. Each group of participants will manage the following acute situations:
- Peripheral ischemia after HA
- Peripheral ischemia after CaHA
- Retinal ischemia after HA
- Retinal ischemia after CaHA

Each participant will manage at least one of these acute vascular situations.

course level 2

advanced practitioner | handles complexity and manages complications
Complex anatomy, high-risk zones, combination and layered approaches, treatment tailored to the individual rather than a protocol. Crucially, does not merely recognize complications but actively manages them.
This course is intended for both entry level physicians as well as physicians with significant experience in aesthetic injectable procedures. If licensed in your country to independently perform these procedures, in some cases (prescribing) nurses or dentists could also apply. 

Please note: in The Netherlands, nurses and dentists are not allowed to perform these procedures and will not be permitted to enter the course.
