This Master Course will bring you straight to the heart of the essence of botulinum toxin applications in aesthetic medicine. It offers an applicable training experience, combining a solid theoretical background with hands–on treatment sessions. Botulinum toxin injections are the most performed aesthetic treatment worldwide. To master them safely, you need more than technique: precise assessment, dosage awareness, controlled injection, and complication prevention. Participants will be able to access the following theoretical content through our digital learning platform:

  • discourse - by Dr. Jani van Loghem
  • ebook ‘Botulinum Toxin in Aesthetic Medicine’ - by Dr. Jani van Loghem
  • selection of instruction videos
