This one day course covers the identical material to the basic filler content covered in our Dual Intro to Toxin and Basic Filler Training course. Some trainees choose to take the Basic Filler course alone and we can accommodate this request through our one day Introduction to Basic Filler Training Course. Enjoy a comprehensive 1-day course providing intensive, small group, hands-on cosmetic injectable training of the latest hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for overall facial rejuvenation. It also includes a review of the patient consultation and treatment processes as students learn the steps involved in creating successful aesthetic patient results.

The hands-on phase of our beginner dermal filler course features actual demonstrations from our expert trainers and is followed by hands-on training on live patient models.
