This Workshop is designed for Doctors and Nurses currently working and injecting in cosmetic aesthetic practice.

You will spend the day with expert plastic surgeon, Dr Peter Callan and cosmetic aesthetic practitioners, learning a range of techniques to advance your injecting skills and in depth understanding of safe injecting and what an adverse event looks like from 'behind the scenes'.

We understand that injectable anatomy is different – needle/cannula depth is paramount to safe injecting hence the importance if understanding 'injector anatomy'.

Information will be given on 'how-to' inject in certain anatomical regions with a focus on high and low-risk regions of the face.

This session will only have a small group of participants, allowing a close and intimate learning journey and opportunity.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 'Anatomical Exploration for Cosmetic Injectors: Cadaver Workshop' in Melbourne 2023.

Please be advised you will need to provide evidence of your current AHPRA registration on the day of your workshop.

Our course is suitable to participants that have completed training in cannula using dermal filler and currently use this technique in their practice, and wanting to fine-tune their technique. This course is for those who are already treating clients with a cannula, but would like more practical experience under supervision.
The aim is:

• To ensure that clinicians perform aesthetic treatments in an informed and ethical manner.
• To ensure clinicians identify suitable treatments for clients seeking facial aesthetic injectable treatments.
• To complete comprehensive training; both didactic and hands-on practical training with live cosmetic models.

 
Course outline:

• Total Face Assessment – Aging changes midface and lips, facial assessment, male and female faces, facial ethnic differences, consultation skills, complications assessment and management.
• Cannula – choosing cannulas, depth of injecting, insertions points, facial anatomy, hand rejuvenation, adverse reactions and aftercare.
• 1 day of practical injecting on live models – focus on lower face, jawline, chin, pre jowl sulcus and cheeks.

Your comprehensive hands-on training will be supervised by highly-skilled and experienced aesthetic trainers.  The training sessions run in small groups of students, ensuring your opportunity to practice is enhanced. All treatments are performed on live cosmetic models and you will have plenty of opportunities to inject and treat models on the course training days. Ample time is allocated to this part of the day, so that you are confident to practice independently upon completion of your course.

A PDO mono thread lift is an TGA-approved anti-aging treatment that supports lifting and tightening of your skin without the need for invasive cosmetic surgery.

Studies have shown that the use of PDO threads helps stimulate production of new collagen in the skin, which enhances the skin’s elasticity and improves the appearance of folds and wrinkles.

The PDO mono threads completely dissolve in the body within 6 to 12 months. They are metabolized in water and carbon dioxide, which the skin naturally absorbs.

The PDO mono Thread Lift can be combined with dermal fillers to address both saggy skin and volume loss brought by the aging process.

Course Aims
The aims and outcomes of the course upon completion are to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to:

• Develop analytical and critical appraisal skills in the theory of PDO thread treatments.
• Develop practical skills in administration of PDO thread treatments.
• Apply advanced problem-solving skills in clinical practice.
• Demonstrate skills in infection control and safe practices. Demonstrate evaluation skills in the delivery of care to patients.
• Managing complications and adverse events

Take home

• Facial mapping guides
• Marketing material
• Special pricing & order forms

Enrolment into the PDO Mono Thread Workshop is specifically for APHRA registered Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Endorsed Enrolled Nurses, Dentists and Doctors only.

About Dr Chau Nguyen 
(MBBS, FRANZCR)

Roberta Honigman has a background in mental health social work with significant experience in the area of body image disturbance, specifically relating to patients seeking cosmetic surgical and medical procedures.

In today's world people with BDD are more likely to be seen by cosmetic practitioners than by mental health professionals, as the majority of BDD sufferers believe that their condition is physically rather than psychologically manifested.

However, clinical evidence suggests that cosmetic procedures are rarely beneficial in ameliorating symptoms of BDD and indeed usually make things worse. Some patients become more fixated on the feature that had been treated or develop new appearance preoccupations following treatment. Unfortunately, despite increasing awareness of the impact of poor body image, BDD appears to go under-recognised and /or misdiagnosed.

Why is it important to identify Body Dysmorphia and manage that appropriately with your clients?

Learn Outcomes:

• How to identify behaviours of concern.
• What does mental health look like in aesthetic practice?
• Strategies to manage "alarm bells"
• Pathways to manage inappropriate client selection
• Clinician safeguarding strategies

Working closely in a clinical capacity in consultation with plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other cosmetic practitioners, counselling patients before and after cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive procedures. Roberta has undertaken multiple research in unpacking patient motivation for treatment, redefining what mental health presents like in the cosmetic space and how to manage patient expectations and identify alarm bells. She has co-authored the book ‘Living with your Looks’ on BDD.
