The #1 Immersive Facial Anatomy Cadaver Workshop Worldwide

Understanding the pertinent anatomy is fundamental to performing safer facial aesthetic injections. Our Anatomical Cadaver Course for Injectables reduces the risks for both patients and practitioners, it is a learning tool that will help build upon your present knowledge of relevant anatomy and is essential in performing safe, injectable aesthetic treatments.

The Advanced Facial Cadaver Training course is an intensive, hands-on program that will give all attendees the opportunity to perform facial dissection on fresh cadavers with both small student to cadaver ratios (5:1) and teacher to student ratios. The course has been expanded to ensure each attendee can work within a small group setting in the dissection. The practical session of the training provides direct hands on training not only so practitioners may perform the dissection but also to perform a variety of aesthetic injectable procedures. The practical session will allow for the placing of various injectables into tissues to see the effect of dermal fillers, PDO threads, and other injectables.

Facial Anatomy Cadaver Training for Aesthetics

For 25 years (this year Empire Medical Training will be celebrating our 25th year anniversary), Empire has led the charge in providing Hands-On training workshops for practitioners who wish to enhance their skills and credentials.

A strong feature of the Empire Facial Cadaver program is our highly selective criteria for choosing instructors who are on a short list of top tier Plastic Surgeons and other highly renowned practitioners. These instructors are recognized in the industry as leaders and are highly sought after practitioners. The program itself is taught by a full TEAM of Physicians and other experts who will work closely with each and every attendee to ensure the most educational, immersive experience. For more information please visit our faculty page or view our “workshop” videos to learn about the “experience” you will receive.

One of the many benefits of learning from the best includes the additional “pearls” you will receive from our Plastic Surgeon (and other) instructor that will help you master the most important concepts in Facial Anatomy and how that will translate to making you a better, safer injector and Aesthetics practitioner.

The occurrence of serious complications in aesthetics related to facial injections or other facial procedure has been well established. This program has been created to help physicians and nurse practitioners gain a thorough understanding of facial anatomy while learning how to safely perform facial procedures such as Botox, PDO Threads and Dermal Filler Injections, as well as how to manage and treat complications. The training is a great review course for all core physicians and is a suggested prerequisite course for all non-core aesthetic practitioners. This full day program represents a significant advancement in our teaching methods to ensure all attendees are trained expertly and safely in a controlled lab environment and receive the “pearls” from accomplished physicians who perform these procedures regularly as part of their aesthetic practice.

About the Workshop

The objective of this Facial Anatomy Cadaver Workshop for Aesthetics is to provide detailed training in facial anatomy to understand how to correctly and safely administer the various aesthetic products you will inject in your practice.

Facial anatomy training is your first step and basis for injecting patients safely and confidently. For experienced dermatologists and other medical professionals, this kind of training is essential to remain current and knowledgeable in aesthetics. This training details protocols and techniques to avoid complications including training to complication management related to facial injections and facial procedures.

By participating in a cadaver training program, practitioners of all specialties can reduce the chance of developing unwanted side effects and potentially enhance the probability of the most desirable outcome for patients.

Aesthetics is a booming industry and thousands of physicians and healthcare practitioners flock to training programs all over the U.S. and abroad to learn these techniques. At Empire Medical Training, our objective is for graduates to not only become proficient at the various injection techniques but also to thoroughly understand the anatomy that is central to safe administration of all the injectable procedures.

It is common for the medical practitioner to have a false sense of confidence when performing dermal filler or other facial aesthetic techniques due to the relatively low incidence of complications. Although the risk is low, complications such as blindness can be permanent and non-reversible. Learning proper technique will help you ensure your methods are safe and effective.

Our Anatomical Cadaver Course for Injectables is not a replacement for hands-on training but will give you the confidence that you are applying the latest guidelines and protocols used to enhance your in-clinic practical sessions.
