Lesson 1Skin assessment: Fitzpatrick classification, photodamage, skin laxity, textureThis lesson focuses on detailed skin assessment, covering Fitzpatrick skin type, sun damage, skin looseness, and texture, to identify risks, choose suitable treatments, and create combined plans for better skin condition.

Eliciting motivations and expectationsScreening for body dysmorphic disorderAssessing social and occupational demandsIdentifying secondary gain and pressureDocumenting refusal and deferral decisionsLesson 3Periorbital-specific assessment: tear trough depth, orbital fat, lid laxity, malar mound, lymphatic changesThis lesson covers specific eye area assessment, including tear trough depth, eye socket fat, eyelid looseness, cheek support, and lymph drainage changes, to spot ageing signs, identify risks, and pick suitable non-surgical options.

Mapping perioral rhytides and etiologyEvaluating philtrum length and shapeAssessing lip volume, contour, and symmetryIdentifying perioral hyperdynamic muscle activityDental support and occlusion considerationsLesson 5Risk factor checklist before procedures: bleeding risk, infection risk, autoimmune disease, recent vaccines, cold sores (HSV) screeningThis lesson provides a clear risk checklist before treatments, covering bleeding and infection dangers, autoimmune conditions, recent jabs, and cold sore history, to cut complications and ensure proper consent and records.

Analyzing midface descent and vectorsAssessing malar projection and contourEvaluating zygomatic and maxillary supportSuperficial and deep midfacial fat padsMidface volume loss versus edema patternsLesson 7Summarising case data and defining realistic aesthetic goalsThis lesson shows how to pull together clinical findings into a clear case summary, rank concerns, and set achievable beauty goals that match anatomy, safety, and the patient's wishes and means.
Prioritizing primary and secondary concernsTranslating findings into problem listsSetting realistic, staged treatment goalsAligning goals with budget and downtimeCommunicating expected course and limitsLesson 8Comprehensive medical and procedural history intake (medications, allergies, pregnancy, prior treatments)This lesson explains gathering full medical and treatment history, stressing medicines, allergies, pregnancy status, and past beauty treatments to spot no-go areas, interactions, and safety issues before planning.
Key elements of medical history intakeMedication review and anticoagulant risksAllergy documentation and test strategiesPregnancy, lactation, and fertility issuesPrior aesthetic procedures and complicationsLesson 9Structured facial analysis: proportions, ageing patterns, dynamic vs static linesThis lesson covers organised face analysis, including ratios, ageing trends, and moving versus fixed lines, to map personalised treatments and avoid excess or imbalance across face parts.
