This course is essential for medical professionals dedicated to improving patient safety and achieving superior outcomes in aesthetic treatments. Topics covered in the course include:

Unit 1: Introduction, Syncope, Seizures, Anaphylaxis, and Local Anaesthetic Complications
This unit introduces foundational knowledge of complications arising from injectable treatments. Participants will explore general reactions such as syncope, seizures, and anaphylaxis, and learn strategies for their effective management. The session also covers local anaesthetic complications, including toxicity and skin irritations, equipping practitioners to ensure safer procedural outcomes.

Unit 2: Botulinum Toxin Complications
Delve into the potential challenges of botulinum toxin treatments, including issues like ptosis, asymmetry, and compensatory muscle recruitment. Emphasis is placed on mastering facial muscular anatomy to prevent complications, understanding dosage and injection techniques, and addressing patient-specific anatomical variations for optimal results.

Unit 3: Belkyra (Deoxycholic Acid) and Dermal Filler Complications
This unit examines the complexities of fat-dissolving treatments and dermal fillers. Key topics include managing side effects such as swelling, redness, and nodules, and preventing severe outcomes like neuropraxia and necrosis. Practical insights into product selection, technique refinement, and patient education are provided to minimise risks and enhance treatment efficacy.

Unit 4: Vascular Occlusion Complications
Focusing on one of the most critical concerns in aesthetic medicine, this unit explores vascular occlusion's causes, symptoms, and treatment protocols. Participants will learn preventive measures such as advanced injection techniques and anatomy awareness. The unit also introduces the latest approaches to managing occlusions, including the use of hyaluronidase and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ensuring practitioners are equipped to handle this rare but serious complication.
