Complication Treatment management and protocols For Botox, Dermal Fillers, Sclerotherapy, and PDO Thread Procedures

This is that one area of aesthetics that is often overlooked or minimized when instead should be highlighted and studied closely. Empire has created a very comprehensive program designed to thoroughly train Aesthetic Practitioners with detailed information, techniques, and protocols to master the treatment of adverse effects and complications and, provide practitioners with methods to prevent adverse reactions that are most commonly operator dependent and technique specific. You may have heard this before, but even the best Injectors, regardless of how expert their training and experience has led them, will encounter complications in their patients. IF you are treating enough Aesthetics patients, you need to have this level of expertise under your belt.

The objective of Empire’s Complication Management program is to enable Physicians and health care practitioners to gain a high degree of confidence in treating their patients with the MOST COMMON aesthetic injectable techniques, specifically, Botox, Dermal Fillers, Sclerotherapy, and PDO Threads. These aesthetic procedures are the most common and therefore performed most frequently, increasing the likelihood of developing an adverse reaction.

Anti Aging Medicine Training

This program (unlike other training) will not recite theory from a textbook or discuss obscure theoretical complications but instead will provide you with training in “real world” and statistically relevant complications that occur and effective methods to treat such conditions.

Physician Instructors: As with all Empire Medical Training courses, this course is instructed by practicing and highly experienced Physicians who specialize in Aesthetics and are practice owners. When learning topics that will affect your career and have such a dramatic impact on patient outcomes, would you trust this level of training with a less qualified instructor?

COMPLICATION MANAGEMENT FOR COSMETIC INJECTABLES
COURSE OVERVIEW

Some outcomes may not be considered a serious complication but may still need to be “reversed” with agents such as Hyaluronidase that are very effective but proper training is needed to use safely and effectively.

Cosmetic injectables complications

Complication Management for Cosmetic Injectables

The program begins with training in pertinent facial anatomy with a focus on injection techniques to the face. Many practitioners have learned techniques involving “blind injections” so it is important to understand how to identify unwanted outcomes related to poor technique resulting from blind injections. Some outcomes may not be considered a serious complication but may still need to be “reversed” with agents such as Hyaluronidase that are very effective but proper training is needed to use safely and effectively.

Even after learning proper technique and using strict protocols for safe technique, you may still encounter patients that were treated by other practitioners who developed complications or a poor outcome. Complications vary in their severity and this program will provide you with detailed, up to date treatment protocols in the most common complications.
