Botulinum Therapy from Scratch: Starter Course for Beginner Practitioners
Course overview
The pressing questions of novice specialists turn into clear and logical solutions thanks to the extensive experience of the lecturer — Olga Valeryevna Astakhova, a cosmetologist and dermatologist-venereologist with more than 26 years of practice.
The subtleties of choosing products, nuances of activity units, secrets of safe and precise neuroprotein administration, as well as analysis of real clinical scenarios from practice — all of this is gathered in one program.
During the course you will learn:
Differences between the main types of neuroproteins and their activity units
Methods to minimize diffusion and increase the procedure's effectiveness
Analysis of real clinical cases with discussion of errors and successful solutions
Strategies for managing patients with varying sensitivity to products
Modern approaches to reconstituting neuroprotein and controlling duration of effect.
