Cosmetic Filler Injections for Beginners

Elevate Your Healthcare Career: Introduction to Lip and Midface Aesthetic Injectables

This comprehensive course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals (RNs, NPs, PAs, and Physicians) seeking to expand their skill set and establish a thriving aesthetics practice. This intensive program, developed by Stefanie Gatica, a renown expert in the field of aesthetic injectables, provides a robust foundation, encompassing both theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on training.

This intensive hands-on course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals, including RNs, NPs, PAs, and physicians, who are beginning their aesthetic injectable career or seeking a more structured introduction to dermal filler.

Led by Lauren King, experienced aesthetic injector and educator at Revive Aesthetics Academy, the program focuses on two foundational areas of aesthetic filler treatment: lip enhancement and mid-face support.

Participants will learn how to assess the lips and mid-face, identify appropriate candidates, understand relevant anatomy and high-risk areas, select products thoughtfully, and develop treatment plans that prioritize safety, proportion, and natural-looking outcomes.
