Students will be guided through the complexities of facial and neck anatomy in this interactive six-week Zoom course, featuring weekly reinforcement quizzes.

Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of facial landmarks, veins and arteries, bony structures, and their relationships with the underlying musculature, as well as how these elements change with ageing. The course also covers key “danger zones” critical for aesthetic procedures and skin cancer practice.

This program is ideal for practitioners in aesthetic medicine, skin cancer medicine, or anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of facial anatomy. Upon completing the lecture series and quizzes, students will receive a certificate of completion.
