Use of Ultrasound for the Prevention of Dermal Filler Complications

November 6 - November 6, 2025 (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Scientific Agenda

Course Overview:

This intensive one-day hands-on course focuses on mastering handheld ultrasound and finger-worn ultrasound probe devices for aesthetic medicine. Participants will gain practical experience using patient models to simulate real clinical applications, including vascular mapping, filler placement strategies, and complication management.

Key Course Features:

✔ Hands-on training

✔ Practical simulation of ultrasound-guided injections

✔ Live scanning & complication management training

✔ Small group sessions for in-depth learning

✔ Certification of completion
