Ultrasound Fundamentals for the Aesthetic Injector (Oct 18, 2024)

Ultrasound Fundamentals for the Aesthetic Injector (Oct 18, 2024) is organized by American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) and will be held on Oct 18, 2024 at Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown, Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America.

Statement of Need/Program Overview:
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

Why Attend
“It was a pleasure to learn the essentials of aesthetic ultrasonography from Dr. Steven Weiner. The course was comprehensive with great hands-on experience. Using ultrasound in my practice will enable me to safely perform injections to avoid filler complications, and also help guide therapeutic interventions, among several other indications. Highly recommend!”

Safer Injections Through Technology
Inject more confidently by seeing the anatomy below the skin. Ultrasound helps you visualize the anatomy of your patient, guiding you to safer injections and better results.

Ways Ultrasound Can Change Your Injectable Practice

• Evaluate the vascularity of the face prior to injections to improve safety and efficacy of fillers;
• Get better measurements of skin and fat prior to treatment for more objective results;
• Evaluate filler complications and composition rather than relying on educated guesses.
