Lesson 1Skin assessment: Fitzpatrick classification, photodamage, skin laxity, textureThis part focuses on systematic skin assessment, including Fitzpatrick type, photodamage, laxity, and texture, to identify risks, choose right methods, and create combined treatment plans for better skin quality in patients.
Figuring out Fitzpatrick and Glogau scalesChecking photodamage and color issuesLooking at skin laxity and elasticity testsTexture, pores, and scar descriptionsBaseline photos and device choicesLesson 2Functional and psychosocial screening: expectations, body dysmorphic disorder red flags, occupational considerationsThis part looks into functional and psychosocial screening, including expectations, warning signs for body dysmorphic disorder, and work factors, to ensure ethical practice, realistic results, and patient mental safety.
Getting motivations and expectationsScreening for body dysmorphic disorderChecking social and work demandsFinding secondary gain and pressureRecording refusal and delay decisionsLesson 3Periorbital-specific assessment: tear trough depth, orbital fat, lid laxity, malar mound, lymphatic changesThis part deals with targeted periorbital assessment, including tear trough depth, orbital fat, lid laxity, malar support, and lymphatic changes, to spot aging patterns, identify warnings, and pick suitable non-surgical treatments.
Classifying tear trough and lid-cheek junctionsChecking orbital fat and pseudoherniationAssessing eyelid laxity and snap-back testsMalar mound, festoons, and midface supportPeriorbital lymphatic stasis and swelling signsLesson 4Perioral assessment: rhytides, philtrum length, lip volume, perioral hyperdynamic activityThis part focuses on structured perioral analysis, including static and dynamic changes of the lips and surrounding tissues, to guide safe, natural-looking rejuvenation strategies and balance the lower face with overall aesthetics.
Mapping perioral rhytides and causesEvaluating philtrum length and shapeAssessing lip volume, contour, and symmetryIdentifying perioral hyperdynamic muscle activityDental support and bite considerationsLesson 5Risk factor checklist before procedures: bleeding risk, infection risk, autoimmune disease, recent vaccines, cold sores (HSV) screeningThis part shows a structured risk factor checklist before procedures, covering bleeding and infection risks, autoimmune disease, recent vaccines, and HSV history, to reduce complications and support informed consent and records.
Screening for bleeding and bruising riskInfection risk, dental work, and skin lesionsAutoimmune disease and immunosuppressionRecent vaccines and procedure timingCold sores, HSV prophylaxis, and triggersLesson 6Midface evaluation: midface descent, malar projection, bony support, fat compartmentsThis part details midface evaluation, including descent, malar projection, skeletal support, and fat compartments, to understand three-dimensional aging, prioritize treatment areas, and keep natural facial look and function.
Analyzing midface descent and vectorsAssessing malar projection and contourEvaluating zygomatic and maxillary supportSuperficial and deep midfacial fat padsMidface volume loss versus swelling patternsLesson 7Summarizing case data and defining realistic aesthetic goalsThis part explains how to put together clinical findings into a clear case summary, prioritize issues, and set realistic aesthetic goals that match anatomy, safety, and the patient’s values and resources.
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 part explains how to get a thorough medical and procedural history, focusing on medications, allergies, pregnancy status, and past aesthetic treatments to spot contraindications, 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 part covers structured facial analysis, including proportions, aging patterns, and dynamic versus static lines, to guide personalized treatment mapping and avoid overdoing or unbalancing facial parts.
