What You’ll Learn

​

This course teaches you how to safely plan and perform hyaluronic acid dermal filler treatments for the lower face and perioral area, including:

• Lips (enhancement, definition, hydration-style results, proportion, balance)

• Nasolabial folds (softening and support-focused correction)

• Marionette lines (lower face rejuvenation and corner-of-mouth support)

You’ll learn how to assess suitability, choose technique, manage expectations, and deliver results that are safe, natural, and aligned to the client’s facial structure.
