Complications Masterclass

Course Introduction

‘It’s not just the injecting that requires mastering and ongoing support- it’s the management of complications even more so- Dr Chadha, Director

This course is designed solely to empower novice and experienced practitioners to prevent avoidable complications and recognise and treat unavoidable ones, should they occur. Its aim is to tackle complications head on and to ensure you don’t  bury your head in the sand and adopt the ‘it’ll never happen to me’ moto!  

Devised by a faculty of surgeons, the course comprises an anatomy-orientated programme of online lectures and videos of some of our core instructors. Delegates are navigated through the recognition and diagnosis of complications in toxin and dermal filler and provided with protocols for their management including the use of Hyalase. A focus on anatomical danger zones is intended to provide the fundamental building blocks of knowledge to ensure safe practice and coverage of the medicolegal aspects of aesthetic complications offers valuable insight into the wider implications involved. 

This online course allows delegates to progress through the course at their own pace and in their own time. The use of our extensive real life case studies ensures that the course and its teachings will remain with you, extending in to your own practice. Delegates further benefit from a live Q+A session with our senior faculty.
