Facial Injectables Cadaver Workshop
1:30 PM - 5:30 PM | Afternoon Workshops
Faculty: Dr. Terry Alford; Corinn Singletary, PA-C; Dr. Mike Golsen; Dr. Joshua Bevans
Anatomical knowledge is fundamental to becoming a highly skilled, safe injector. The Facial Injectables Cadaver Workshop provides the highest level of anatomical training to expand your repertoire of facial injectables. Working in small groups, participants will dissect cadaver faces to identify pertinent anatomy (muscular structures, fat pads, dermal depths) and learn correct injection techniques to avoid complications and adverse effects. This hands-on workshop, exclusively at the 2020 IAFA Aesthetic Symposium, will give participants a high level understanding of the essential anatomy of the face as it pertains to facial injectables.
The cadaver workshop will begin with an interactive pre-dissection lecture featuring expert guided markings on mannequin heads. Participants will also receive a cadaver workbook to fully guide them through the workshop, serving as an excellent post workshop review.

In addition to complete facial volume restoration including cannula use, Dr. Wainwright will teach his innovative techniques to reconstruct interdental papilla deficiencies (black triangles) using HA filler.
Dr. Wainwright with the Swiss firm Teoxane has developed an Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to treat gingival problems (Periodontitis and Gingivitis) and black triangle between teeth (gum recession). Dr. Wainwright is a fellow of the IADFE (International Academy for Dental and Facial Esthetics, NY) and President of the Swedish DIFNE (Dental International Filler and Neurotoxin Education).
Dr. Wainwright has published more than 60 articles and scientific papers, contributed his works to public books and was part of the dental olympic team 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London. He is a visiting professor of the Universities of Guangzhou, Dalian, Mahidol, Leuven and Chapel Hill. His courses cover topics such as, soft tissue management with BTX and dermal fillers. His research focus is based on minimally invasive ultrasonic surgical procedures and intra-oral application of cross linked hyaluronic acid.

NEW! Ultrasound Guided Filler Techniques Workshop
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Morning Workshop
Faculty: Young R. Cho, MD, PhD, MBA
Ultrasound offers a systematic and guided approach to examination of the face to visualize important structures and pinpoint the optimal location of a planned injectable treatment. This hands-on workshop will utilize ultrasound to give a complete insight into facial anatomy, thereby increasing the safety of injectable treatments, and reducing the hazards of technical complications and adverse events. Vessels, relevant muscles and bony structures are easily seen and can be avoided. The volume and type of injectable can also be determined and injectables already in situ can be assessed. This course will train the attendee how to use ultrasound in filler application, assess facial anatomy and understand vascular mapping. * Product is included to practice Ultrasound-guided injections as part of this hands-on training workshop.

Absorbable PDO Threads Training Workshop*
1:30 PM - 5:30 PM | Afternoon Workshop
Faculty: Dr. Kian Karimi, MD, FACS; Francine Young RN, MEP-C; Shanna Concepcion, RN, CANS
This advanced workshop features training on Absorbable PDO (Polydiaxanone) threads: An innovative, minimally invasive & effective technique to achieve safe in-office tightening and repositioning of the skin. PDO threads are placed in the superficial tissues to lift and tighten sagging skin tissue. The procedure requires no surgical skills and delivers great results with virtually no complications. The threads are placed in the superficial tissues and can be used anywhere on the face and body.
In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way: by provoking the body’s “healing response” and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. Each participant will have the opportunity to participate in treatment and observe various cases for maximum learning during the 4-hour workshop.
*Advanced Practitioners Only.
