Would you know how to correct an overfilled malar edema or carry out the emergency procedure for blindness?

All of these complications are real risks when using dermal fillers. On this course we teach how to reduce the likelihood of complications by sticking to safe filler planes, how to recognise emerging complications and also how to manage them with confidence.

All delegates will also recieve a complimentary 12-month membership to our VR App – including live injections, techniques and cadaver dissection.

What it’s like to be on an OFAA course

The Complex Facial Anatomy

Practitioners need a deep understanding of how to safely inject and avoid critical anatomy in order to practise safely and with confidence.

Facial
Anatomy

This image shows just how complex the facial anatomy is, and demonstrates why practitioners need extremely strong anatomical understanding to be safe injectors.

Needles vs
Cannulas

This practitioner had flashback, on aspiration, using a 29 G thin walled needle when injecting Restylane while Sabrina was teaching in China.

Overfilled Malar
Edema

This video shows the malar edema immediately after hyalase on the right eyelid and how quickly the filler is dissolved.
