MD Codes™: Advanced Botox Cosmetic® & Skinvive™

Anatomical Assessment, Neuromodulator Strategy, and Skin Quality Refinement

An advanced observation-based training for experienced aesthetic providers who want to deepen their understanding of anatomical assessment, Botox Cosmetic® treatment planning, and Skinvive™ placement within an MD Codes™ informed approach.

Led by Stefanie Gatica, DNP, this immersive six-hour program explores how anatomy, dynamic movement, skin quality, and patient goals inform a thoughtful treatment plan using advanced neuromodulator strategy and intradermal Skinvive™ treatment.

This course moves beyond isolated injection patterns. The emphasis is not simply on where to inject, but on understanding the clinical reasoning behind anatomical assessment, facial mapping, product selection, treatment sequencing, and refinement.

What You Will Learn

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of:

• Comprehensive anatomical assessment, dynamic movement, and facial aging patterns
• How to evaluate the relationship between movement, anatomy, skin quality, and patient goals
• Advanced Botox Cosmetic® treatment planning beyond standard dosing patterns
• Strategic assessment of upper-face, midface, lower-face, and neck indications when clinically appropriate
• Skinvive™ patient selection, consultation, and treatment planning
• Product placement, depth, technique, and distribution for Skinvive™
• Facial mapping and strategic marking for Botox Cosmetic® and Skinvive™ treatments
• Treatment sequencing and how to determine when one modality should precede another
• Symmetry assessment, refinement, and patient expectation management
• Risk reduction, complication prevention, and post-treatment guidance

Throughout the day, Stefanie will share the clinical decision-making behind each treatment, including what she is evaluating, why she is selecting a particular approach, and how she determines the appropriate treatment sequence for each patient.

Live Patient Demonstrations

The course includes four to five live patient treatments. Each model will receive a customized treatment plan using Botox Cosmetic®, Skinvive™, or a combination of both, based on clinical assessment and individual goals.

Participants will observe:

• Anatomical assessment, patient consultation, and candidacy evaluation
• Dynamic facial analysis and treatment planning
• Facial mapping and strategic marking
• Botox Cosmetic® dosing and placement strategy
• Skinvive™ placement and distribution technique
• Treatment sequencing and real-time clinical decision-making
• Post-treatment assessment and patient education

This is a close-observation course. Participants will not inject during the training. The intentionally small class size allows for optimal visibility, discussion, and meaningful clinical questions throughout the day.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for licensed aesthetic providers who already have foundational injectable experience and want to refine their approach to neuromodulator treatment and skin-quality planning.

This course is ideal for:

• Registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians practicing aesthetic medicine
• Providers who already perform Botox Cosmetic® treatments
• Injectors seeking a more structured approach to advanced anatomical assessment and dynamic treatment planning
• Providers interested in incorporating Skinvive™ thoughtfully into their aesthetic practice
• Clinicians who value close observation of live patient treatments and advanced clinical discussion
• Participants should have prior injectable experience. This course is not intended as an entry-level Botox Cosmetic® or Skinvive™ certification course.

Course Format

• Six-hour advanced observation training
• 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
• Combination of didactic education and live patient demonstrations
• Four to five live models
• Close-observation learning environment
• No attendee injections
• Lunch provided
• Small class size for optimal visibility and discussion

Model Opportunities

A limited number of model opportunities are available for this course. Models will receive a customized treatment plan and are responsible for the cost of the products used only.

Providers interested in being considered as a model may submit a request in advance. Model selection is based on clinical appropriateness, treatment goals, and course needs.
