Discover the Science & Art of Injectables with UB Academy
Want to master the art and science of facial aesthetics? At UB Academy, our Foundational Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Filler Course (£995, 10 CPD points) equips healthcare professionals with the expertise to transform client appearances using two powerful injectables: Botulinum Toxin Type A and Hyaluronic Acid-based Dermal Fillers.
Let’s dive into the science behind these injectables, their uses in facial aesthetics, and why choosing the right one is crucial for stunning results—all taught in our comprehensive Foundational Course!
Botulinum Toxin Type A: The Science of Smoothing
How It Works: Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, temporarily inhibits acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, relaxing targeted facial muscles. This reduces dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions. Its precise application requires understanding facial anatomy and muscle dynamics, which our Foundational Course covers in depth.
Uses in Facial Aesthetics: In our course, trainees learn to use Botulinum Toxin for procedures like:
- Crow’s Feet: Softens lines around the eyes for a youthful look.
- Glabellar Lines: Erases vertical frown lines between the brows for a relaxed expression.
- Horizontal Forehead Lines: Smooths forehead wrinkles for a refreshed appearance.
Why It Matters: Botulinum Toxin is ideal for dynamic wrinkles but ineffective for static lines or volume loss. Selecting it ensures natural results for expression-related concerns, enhancing client confidence without altering facial structure.
Hyaluronic Acid-based Dermal Fillers: The Science of Volume
How It Works: Dermal Fillers, composed of Hyaluronic Acid (a naturally occurring polysaccharide in the skin), add volume and hydration by attracting water molecules. Their rheology—viscosity and elasticity—varies to suit different facial areas, allowing for precise sculpting. Our Foundational Course teaches trainees about filler composition, injection techniques, and complication management to achieve safe, effective results.
Uses in Facial Aesthetics: In the Foundational Course, we focus on Dermal Filler applications for:
- Nasolabial Folds: Softens lines from the nose to the mouth for a youthful contour.
- Marionette Lines: Lifts downturned lines around the mouth to reduce a sad appearance.
- Perioral “smokers” Lines: Smooths and restores volume to the area around the mouth.
- Why It Matters: Dermal Fillers excel at restoring volume and correcting static wrinkles but aren’t suitable for dynamic muscle-related lines. Choosing the right filler ensures tailored results, addressing structural concerns for a natural, harmonious outcome.
Why Choosing the Right Injectable Matters
Selecting between Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers depends on the patient’s goals. Dynamic wrinkles, like crow’s feet, require Botulinum Toxin to relax muscles, while static lines or volume loss, like nasolabial folds, demand Dermal Fillers for structural support. Misapplying these can lead to unnatural results or dissatisfaction. Our Foundational Course teaches you to assess facial anatomy, consult effectively, and choose the right injectable to achieve safe, stunning transformations tailored to each client.
