Students will learn about BotoxNatomy™, which details the anatomy of muscles used to make different facial expressions, along with the muscles’ associated actions.
Students will also learn the clinical application of neurotoxins, including the proper clinical assessment, markings, and dosage, as well as the art of injecting neurotoxins to soften expressive lines and create upper and lower facelift.
