Course Overview
The Intro to Dermal Fillers course from the Audrey Rose Institute of Medical Aesthetics is a hands-on, two-part training designed for licensed medical professionals who are ready to start offering dermal filler treatments. Whether you're looking to build a new skill set or expand your current aesthetic services, this course covers everything you need to get started safely and confidently. It kicks off with a full-day, in-person didactic session where you’ll dive into facial anatomy, product types, patient assessment, and injection techniques like threading, fanning, and cross-hatching. You'll also learn how to manage side effects and avoid complications—crucial knowledge for anyone new to fillers. After the classroom portion, you'll schedule a separate one-on-one clinic day where you'll inject real patients under the direct supervision of a Clinical Instructor. This is a highly personalized, hands-on experience where you can bring up to six of your own models. If needed, the institute can help you source models. Filler product is provided during the training, and the 1:1 instructor-to-student ratio ensures you get plenty of individualized guidance. This course is a great fit for medical professionals (MDs, RNs, NPs, and others) who have already completed the Introduction to Neurotoxins course (which is required beforehand). You'll receive 8.5 CEUs and real-world experience you can use in your aesthetic practice right away. Class sizes are kept small to give each student focused, hands-on support in a low-pressure environment.
