Ultrasound Fundamentals for the Aesthetic Injector (Nov 08, 2024)

Ultrasound Fundamentals for the Aesthetic Injector is organized by American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) and will be held on Nov 08, 2024 at Hyatt Regency Orlando, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
Medical aesthetic professionals in the medical aesthetic field have demonstrated a high desire for in-depth technique discussions as a matter of providing updated techniques and procedures and implementing them in safe practices. Medical aesthetic professionals have asked for technique sessions describing the latest advances in the nonsurgical treatments to help them achieve higher standards and better results for their patients, as well as increasing safety and accuracy of injections.

Educational Objectives:
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• To explain the science of ultrasound
• Define the terminology used in ultrasound imaging
• To operate the settings on an ultrasound device to optimize images of the targeted tissues
• To identify anatomic structures in the face using ultrasound – fat, muscle, vessels, bone, fascia
• To distinguish between arteries and veins with ultrasound
• To demonstrate the skills necessary to mitigate filler complications using guided injections of hyaluronidase which include: nodules, granulomas, DON
• To summarize the value of ultrasound in treating vascular occlusion vs currently accepted protocols
• To identify and treat vascular occlusion due to fillers
• To summarize the pathophysiology of visual loss secondary to fillers and employ the steps to take if this complication occurs
• To use ultrasound into their aesthetic filler patient evaluations and treatments
