Complications & Emergency Management in Injectables Workshop

Workshop Description

This advanced workshop trains practitioners to identify, prevent, and manage all complications associated with dermal fillers, toxins, threads, and combination treatments.

Participants learn how to recognize early warning signs of vascular compromise and how to perform structured, evidence-based emergency management protocols to prevent permanent damage such as necrosis or blindness.

The session includes hands-on training in hyaluronidase preparation, reconstitution, dosing for different complication types, and multi-point reversal techniques.
Realistic simulation scenarios help practitioners build confidence and clinical readiness in handling high-risk situations.

This workshop is essential for any practitioner performing injectables, providing the highest safety standards required in modern aesthetic practice.
