Learn the science of botulinum toxin
This course covers the science of botulinum toxin. From the history of botulinum toxin to pharmacology, anatomy, assessment and treatment planning.
Assessment and planning
Patient assessment starts from the initial medical questionnaire and discussion, and extends to a physical assessment of the muscles and anatomical landmarks to correctly diagnoses and treatment plan. Learn about the FAC assessment techniques and consultations skills to boost our treatment planning skills.
