Lesson 1Skin check: Fitzpatrick types, sun damage, loose skin, feel and lookHere we look at how to check skin step by step, covering Fitzpatrick skin types, damage from sun, how loose the skin is, and its feel, to know risks, pick right methods, and plan treatments together for better skin health.
Determining Fitzpatrick and Glogau scalesEvaluating photodamage and dyschromiaAssessing skin laxity and elasticity testsTexture, pores, and scar characterizationBaseline photography and device selectionLesson 2Body function and mind check: what patients hope for, signs of body image problems, work factorsWe go into checking body functions and mind health, like what patients expect, warning signs for body dysmorphic disorder, and job-related things, to keep practice right, get real results, and make sure patients feel safe in their heads.
Eliciting motivations and expectationsScreening for body dysmorphic disorderAssessing social and occupational demandsIdentifying secondary gain and pressureDocumenting refusal and deferral decisionsLesson 3Eye area check: depth under eyes, fat around eyes, loose eyelids, cheek support, fluid buildup changesThis part covers checking the eye area closely, like depth of tear troughs, fat in orbits, loose eyelids, cheek mound support, and changes in lymph, to spot aging ways, find warnings, and choose good non-surgery options.
Classifying tear trough and lid–cheek junctionsEvaluating orbital fat and pseudoherniationAssessing eyelid laxity and snap-back testsMalar mound, festoons, and midface supportPeriorbital lymphatic stasis and edema signsLesson 4Mouth area check: wrinkles, groove length above lip, lip fullness, active mouth movementsWe focus on checking around the mouth in order, including still and moving changes in lips and nearby skin, to guide safe ways to refresh that look natural and match the lower face with overall beauty.
Mapping perioral rhytides and etiologyEvaluating philtrum length and shapeAssessing lip volume, contour, and symmetryIdentifying perioral hyperdynamic muscle activityDental support and occlusion considerationsLesson 5Risk list before treatments: bleeding chances, infection chances, auto immune issues, recent shots, cold sore checks (HSV)This part shows a clear list of risks before doing procedures, covering chances of bleeding and infection, auto immune diseases, recent vaccines, and history of HSV, to cut down problems and help with agreement and records.
Screening for bleeding and bruising riskInfection risk, dental work, and skin lesionsAutoimmune disease and immunosuppressionRecent vaccines and timing of proceduresCold sores, HSV prophylaxis, and triggersLesson 6Middle face check: drop in midface, cheek push out, bone support, fat areasWe detail checking the middle face, like how it drops, cheek projection, bone backing, and fat pockets, to get three-D aging, pick main treatment spots, and keep natural face look and work.
Analyzing midface descent and vectorsAssessing malar projection and contourEvaluating zygomatic and maxillary supportSuperficial and deep midfacial fat padsMidface volume loss versus edema patternsLesson 7Putting case info together and setting real beauty goalsThis part shows how to bring clinical notes into one clear summary, focus on main worries, and set beauty goals that fit body build, safety, and what the patient values and can afford.
Prioritizing primary and secondary concernsTranslating findings into problem listsSetting realistic, staged treatment goalsAligning goals with budget and downtimeCommunicating expected course and limitsLesson 8Full medical and treatment history taking (medicines, allergies, pregnancy, past treatments)We explain how to get full medical and procedure history, stressing medicines, allergies, if pregnant, and old beauty treatments to find things that block, mix badly, and safety points before planning.
Key elements of medical history intakeMedication review and anticoagulant risksAllergy documentation and test strategiesPregnancy, lactation, and fertility issuesPrior aesthetic procedures and complicationsLesson 9Ordered face check: sizes, aging ways, moving vs still linesThis covers ordered face checking, like sizes, aging patterns, and lines that move versus stay, to guide personal treatment maps and avoid too much fix or mismatch in face parts.
