Advanced Botox and Dermal Fillers (Level II) - Puerto Rico

Advanced Injection Techniques and Uses for Botulinum Toxin-A and HA & Non-HA Dermal Filler Products

Treating the Male or Female Face: Differences in Techniques
Instructor: Dr. Gregory A. Buford

Course Overview
This program is specifically designed for serious aesthetics professionals—physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, and other licensed practitioners—who wish to expand their skill set with advanced injectable techniques. This course goes beyond the Level 1 Complete Botulinum Toxin-A Training Course, offering comprehensive training on advanced techniques and new applications for Botulinum Toxin-A and both HA and non-HA Dermal Fillers.

Participants will learn how to inject the mid-face, perform non-surgical face lifts, and use advanced techniques for total facial shaping and sculpting, often referred to as the "liquid face lift." You will also explore various "off-label" uses for dermal fillers and botulinum products for line and wrinkle reduction across different facial areas.

Dermal Fillers Training
This segment covers wrinkle treatments with both common and long-acting dermal fillers. Practitioners will progress from basic procedures, such as filling nasolabial folds and marionette lines, to more advanced techniques for restoring volume affected by aging. The training focuses on delivering dramatic yet natural results.

Why This Training is Essential
As you begin offering aesthetics in your practice, mastering these advanced techniques will help you meet patient demands and expand your offerings. This course aims to make you proficient in a variety of injectable techniques and procedures beyond the basics.
