听Clinical Aesthetics Injectables Skills Information Session:
- Tuesday, October 8, 12:00 鈥� 1:00pm - Live on Zoom
Boston College Connell School of Nursing听 Professional Development and Continuing Education has partnered with LexRx to bring a new series of didactic and hands-on trainings for Clinical Aesthetics.
Complete all three courses to earn a Clinical Aesthetics Injectables Certificate. Please note: the Neurotoxins course is a prerequisite for the Biostimulators/Sculptra and Ha Dermal Fillers courses.
Neurotoxins - BOTOX庐 Cosmetic, Dysport庐, Jeuveau庐, and Xeomin庐 are injectable treatments that prohibit nerve signals from activating the facial muscles, effectively forcing the treated facial muscles to relax, smoothing out the whole face and making it younger and vibrant looking.
Biostimulators - Sculptra庐 Aesthetic/PPLA (Poly-L-lactic Acid) is an injectable treatment, which helps replace lost collagen and stimulate gradual restoration of the collagen framework, creating a subtle, refined correction of wrinkles.
HA Dermal Fillers - Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used specifically for lip enhancement and/or augmentation, marionette lines (corners of the mouth), nasolabial folds (smile lines and/or laugh lines), and midface volumization (cheek enhancement).
Please Note:听Attendees who take courses are responsible for researching state/local/federal licensing laws and regulations pertaining to these services and ensuring these services are within their scope of practice prior to registering.
