Lip filler training is included in our Dual Intro to Toxin and Basic Filler Course as well as our Intro to Basic Filler Course, Lower Face Cannula Course and Advanced Dermal Filler Course. However, sometimes injectors like additional experience focused solely on lips and we are pleased to offer a comprehensive 1-day course providing intensive, small group (2:1 Trainee: Trainer ratio), hands-on training for lip enhancement. Material covered includes an overview of anatomy and physiology as applied to the skin. Types of dermal fillers, their history, FDA approval, and their properties/mechanism of action. There is an emphasis on establishing client expectations, providing natural results, recognizing contraindications and complications. We also address the appropriate use of hyaluronidase.

The course also includes a review of the patient consultation and treatment process as students learn the steps involved in creating successful lip results. The training day begins with a review of critical information, a demonstration of the procedure on a live model followed by hands-on injecting of live models.
