Day 1 covers facial anatomy and danger zones, patient assessment and consent, and botulinum toxin for the upper face, then introduces dermal fillers with a full vascular-occlusion and hyaluronidase emergency protocol. Day 2 continues with fillers for the lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin and jawline, introduces the tear trough, and moves on to PDO threads for face and neck lifting. Each topic pairs a focused theory lecture with a live demonstration on patients. The workshop closes with aftercare, ethical practice, a short assessment and the certificate ceremony.
