Hyaluronic acid fillers are the treatment with the most serious complications in facial aesthetic medicine, and almost all of these are vascular in nature. That is why a hyaluronic acid course for doctors is judged by one thing above all else: how much time it devotes to vascular anatomy, the prevention of occlusion and the hyaluronidase protocol. Everything else \u2013 cannula or needle technique, injection planes and rheological properties \u2013 comes second. This guide explains how to evaluate a programme and in what order to undertake your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facial artery and its branches: the angular, supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries, the dorsal nasal artery and the superficial temporal artery. A proper course teaches their usual course, their variants and the depth at which they run in each area, and relates this to the areas of greatest risk: the glabella, nose, nasolabial fold, temporal region and lip. You should come away from the course able to explain why an injection into the dorsal nasal region can result in occlusion of the ophthalmic artery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aspiration and its limitations, slow injection in small boluses, use of a cannula in high-risk areas, immediate recognition of signs (disproportionate pain, blanching, livedo, delayed capillary refill) and the hyaluronidase protocol, including dosage, repeat administration and follow-up. Ask whether the course includes a simulation of the protocol and whether you will be given the algorithm in writing. Also ask whether the course teaches you to have hyaluronidase to hand in the surgery before treating your first patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all hyaluronic acids behave in the same way. Concentration, cross-linking, G-prime, cohesiveness and integration capacity determine where each product works best. A proper course explains these concepts independently of any particular brand and teaches you how to read the technical data sheet. If the programme focuses on just one manufacturer, ask why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with any injection technique, watching is not the same as practising. Check how many patients you will be treating, which areas, what the tutor-to-student ratio is, and whether the tutor provides immediate feedback. When it comes to dermal fillers, it is also advisable to start practising on lower-risk areas (chin, jawline, cheekbones using a cannula) before moving on to the lips, nasolabial folds or nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anatomy, rheology and protocols are best learnt from a video that you can watch repeatedly. The injection requires supervised practice. That is why at the Medars training<\/a> Each masterclass is available as a recording, as a recording with one month\u2019s follow-up from the doctor delivering it, or with follow-up and a certificate; the in-person practical session is organised separately. Before purchasing any course, please also check how the health advertising<\/a> in your community: sharing a result and announcing it are not governed by the same rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to learn about complications with dermal fillers is from doctors who have already treated them. A Basic Medars membership is free for life and is activated once your professional registration has been verified \u2013 no card required. From there, you can access the catalogue of masterclasses, the Lounge and verified distributors.
