Wrinkle Free Skin And Botox Training

By Mats Sumellin


Botox use for cosmetic surgery has dramatically advanced in the past few years. More and more people wanting younger looking skin devoid of fine lines and wrinkles are using it these days. In order to administer botox for cosmetic reasons, it is essential that specific training is undertaken. Licensing requirements are strict, and in this day and age of 'legal medicine', having the right training is everything.

Cosmetic botox training should include certain elements to it.

1. Good comprehension of the face and muscle anatomy

This is essential. There are tiny muscles in the face that control different expressions, as well as many nerves and blood vessels. The muscles are situated very close to one another. Sound knowledge of the anatomy of the face is essential when injecting botox, as well as knowing the location of each and every structure. This helps to avoid mistakes, while offering the best possible treatment to the patient.

2. Types of botox

With sound knowledge of the product in use, the performing physician establishes him or herself as an authority. There are different types of botox available on the market, and it is important that these are explored in great detail when training.

3. Side Effects and Risks

This is what worries patients the most. Common side effects from botox include mild bleeding and bruising at the site of injection; more rare are allergic reactions to components within botox injections. These and the methods to deal with them need to be discussed in detail at any training program.

4. Indications and contraindications

When is botox indicated for use? In what situations should it be avoided? What are the benefits? When performed by experts, botox has been established as a safe treatment but there may be times to avoid it. When sketching out a cosmetic botox training program, this should also be discussed in detail.

5. Knowing the law and state guidelines

There are certain legal aspects that providers need to be aware of when it comes to injecting botox. Who can prescribe and administer botox depends on each state's board, and this needs to be respected. While it may be difficult to go through every individual state's requirement at a course, hand outs may be useful to guide attendees as to what their local rules are.

Conclusion

A cosmetic botox training program is based on these 5 elements. Training programs need to be designed around these elements including detailed lectures and demonstrations to ensure that every attendee is armed with the required knowledge regarding the cosmetic use of botox.
