Course Overview
The Injection Anatomy Inject and Dissect Cadaver Lab Training and Ultrasound Imaging Course, offered by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), is an intensive 18-hour program designed for medical professionals seeking to enhance their proficiency and safety in administering injectable therapies. This course combines comprehensive anatomical dissection with practical ultrasound imaging techniques to provide a deep understanding of facial structures relevant to aesthetic procedures.
Participants will engage in detailed cadaver dissections led by AAFE Anatomist Faculty, focusing on identifying critical anatomical landmarks, safe zones, danger areas, and facial planes to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes. The curriculum also incorporates hands-on training with ultrasound imaging, enabling attendees to visualize soft tissue layers and vasculature in real-time, thereby improving injection precision and patient safety. Techniques covered include the administration of neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and solid filler PDO threads for smoothing and lifting sagging skin.
This course is ideal for healthcare providers such as physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who have prior experience with injectable therapies and wish to deepen their anatomical knowledge and technical skills. All necessary products and supplies are provided during the training sessions.
