Join us this Fall at the AAD’s popular Hands-On: Cosmetics course! This live event is where you’ll come to practice injection techniques alongside our expert faculty in a risk-free environment. It's a chance to ask questions and learn the ins and outs to confidently offer high-demand cosmetic services in your practice.
Throughout the course, you will work with simulated head models so that you can see what you are doing every step of the way to perfect your technique. Plus, watch live demonstrations with real patients.

Upon conclusion of this course, participants will be able to assess the benefits and risks of performing procedures commonly used in cosmetic dermatology according to a patient’s clinical situation, describe the risks of each cosmetic procedure and methods to minimize such risks and perform procedures commonly used in cosmetic dermatology, specifically botulinum toxin injections, and fillers.
