Ultrasound for Facial Aesthetics Training

Certification Process

Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion in Ultrasound for Facial Aesthetics, signifying mastery in the application of ultrasound technology for injectable procedures and aesthetic diagnostics.

Course Details

Course Content: Advanced Ultrasound Techniques for Aesthetic Medicine

This program is structured to provide comprehensive theoretical and practical training, covering all aspects of ultrasound use in facial aesthetics.

Fundamentals of Ultrasound in Aesthetics
- Principles of ultrasound imaging: resolution, depth, and transducer selection.
- Overview of ultrasound equipment: probes, modes, and settings for facial applications.
- Understanding ultrasound artifacts and optimizing image clarity for injectables.
Facial Anatomy and Vascular Mapping with Ultrasound
- High-resolution visualization of key anatomical landmarks, including fat pads, muscles, and ligaments.
- Mapping critical vascular structures such as the facial artery, supraorbital artery, and angular vein.
- Identifying filler planes and differentiating between safe and high-risk zones.
Ultrasound-Guided Injectable Procedures
- Real-time imaging for precise filler placement in areas such as tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and jawline.
- Techniques for avoiding vascular complications during high-volume procedures.
- Ensuring symmetrical and natural results with ultrasound-assisted corrections.
Managing Complications with Ultrasound
- Identifying vascular compromise and differentiating between hematomas and occlusions.
- Ultrasound-guided administration of hyaluronidase for filler removal.
- Post-procedural monitoring and tracking filler migration or granuloma formation.
Patient Assessment and Pre-Procedural Planning
- Using ultrasound to assess skin thickness, volume loss, and tissue integrity.
- Creating individualized treatment plans based on patient-specific anatomy.
- Educating patients on the benefits of ultrasound-guided injectables.
Advanced Techniques and Emerging Applications
- Combining ultrasound with other imaging modalities for complex cases.
- Applications in non-filler aesthetics: energy-based devices, PDO thread mapping, and fat grafting.
- Exploring the future of ultrasound in regenerative and reconstructive aesthetics.

Agenda

Please look out for an email with the final agenda 3 days before your course date with more information. For assistance, call 866.333.6747 or email info@empiremedicaltraining.com.

7:45am – 8:00am

Registration

8:00am – 9:00am

Course Introduction and Q&A session based on pre-requisite videos and materials (if required by the course), led by Empire Medical Training’s physician faculty.
Discuss valuable insights, practical tips, and essential tools needed to effectively carry out the hands-on training or lecture presentation, in accordance with course requirements.

9:00am - 12:00pm

Live hands-on training session or lecture presentation (based on course requirements), led by Empire Medical Training’s physician faculty.
For courses with hands-on training, attendees will be in small group breakout sessions with live patients.
For courses with didactic training, attendees will participate in a comprehensive university-style lecture. Some courses will also feature anatomical models or live models to enhance the learning experience.

Breaks

Breaks will be provided throughout the day. Use this opportunity to mix and mingle with vendors and network with other attendees.

*Agenda may be adjusted based on course requirements and operational considerations.

Hands-On Training and Technique Demonstration

During the Physician-supervised training, practitioners will be required to demonstrate their injection techniques. Attendees must administer FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin Type-A products, tailoring their approach to each patient's unique needs.

Safety Measures: Adherence to the safety policies of Empire Medical Training is a requirement for hands-on training. All volunteers who will receive a procedure are required to fill out and agree to the policies before the session as well as adhere to the CDC Guidelines in place.

DISCLAIMER: Agenda listed above is for reference only and may be subject to change. The final agenda will be emailed to you a few days prior to your course. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at 866-333-6747.
