Botulinum Toxin & Dermal Fillers Beginners Hands-on Workshop

A modular one- or two-day introductory program for eligible doctors, combining facial anatomy, patient assessment, treatment planning, product safety and closely supervised practice on selected live-patient cases.

Program Overview

Program Overview

Injectable aesthetic treatments require more than familiarity with injection points. Safe and responsible practice begins with anatomy, patient selection, clinical assessment, informed consent, appropriate product choice, treatment planning and the ability to recognise when treatment should be modified, deferred or declined.

This introductory workshop provides eligible doctors with a structured foundation in two principal areas of aesthetic injectables. The first module focuses on botulinum toxin, including preparation principles, facial assessment, common upper-face indications and selected aesthetic and functional applications. The second module introduces dermal fillers, with attention to product selection, safety and foundational approaches to facial enhancement, lip treatment and rejuvenation.

Theoretical instruction is combined with demonstration and closely supervised practice on selected live-patient cases where confirmed for the relevant edition. The small-group format is intended to support clinical discussion, observation, guided decision-making and immediate feedback.

The program is designed as a beginning point in a broader pathway of education, mentored practice and continuing professional development. Completion should not be interpreted as automatic authorisation or proof of independent competence in every procedure or anatomical area covered.

Who is the Program For

Who Should Attend

This program is intended for licensed doctors who are beginning structured training in aesthetic injectable treatments and who are legally entitled to undertake the relevant clinical activities in the jurisdiction where they practise.

It may also be relevant to doctors with limited previous exposure who want to consolidate their foundations through a small-group, supervised format. Final eligibility must be assessed by Orphanos Academy before registration is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

The program consists of two separate modules: Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers. Depending on the edition, eligible participants may register for one module or for the complete two-day course.

It is designed as an introduction for eligible doctors. A medical qualification, current professional status and foundational understanding of facial anatomy and clinical safety are still required.

The source invitation states “For Doctors Only”. Exact accepted professions, registrations and documents are confirmed by Orphanos Academy for each edition.

The source format includes supervised live-patient practice. Availability and the level of direct participation depend on the edition, the participant's legal eligibility, patient consent, case suitability and the trainer's safety decision.

Will every participant inject every area listed?

The program introduces common upper-face indications and selected applications including lip flip, gummy smile, nasal applications, bruxism, platysmal bands and chin dimpling

Yes. Patient selection, relevant anatomy, risk reduction, warning signs and escalation principles are integral to responsible training. The detailed emergency and complications curriculum should be confirmed for each edition.

The invitation does not specify this. Participants should consult the edition details or contact Orphanos Academy before attending.

This is not stated in the invitation. Any patient/model requirements and selection process will be communicated separately for the relevant edition
