Botulinum Therapy: Consultation and Dosage Calculation
Botulinum Therapy: Consultation and Dosage Calculation
Course overview
Begin your path in cosmetology with the most important aspects — a professional consultation and precise injection calculations.
You will learn to conduct appointments so as not to miss any critically important details: from competent medical history taking to identifying the patient's hidden fears, determining their real needs, and objectively assessing potential risks.
Special attention is given to precise injection calculations: you will understand the principles of syringe selection, scale division value, correct unit recalculation with various dilution options, and learn to dose botulinum toxin with clinical accuracy and full confidence in the outcome.
Key topics of the course:
Professional patient consultation and structure of the initial appointment
“Red flags” in aesthetic practice and contraindications to BoNT use
Comprehensive cosmetic and medical history without gaps or errors
Unit calculation with 100 and 500 U dilutions
Clinical case analysis and individualization of protocols.
