Training in Aesthetic Medicine

Aesthetic medicine is one of the fastest-evolving fields in clinical practice — and staying current requires more than occasional reading. Aesthetic medicine training today means building a systematic understanding of facial anatomy, injection techniques, regenerative approaches, and safety protocols, and applying that knowledge with confidence in every patient encounter. That is the foundation of the programs brought together in this section of OHI-S.

Why ongoing education matters in aesthetic medicine

Techniques that were considered advanced just a few years ago are now being refined, updated, or replaced by approaches grounded in deeper anatomical insight and better clinical evidence. For a medical doctor working in aesthetics, keeping pace with these changes is not optional — it directly affects the predictability of outcomes and the safety of every procedure.

A solid command of facial anatomy remains the non-negotiable foundation. Understanding vascular structures, tissue layers, and anatomical variation is what separates a technically proficient injector from a clinician who can genuinely anticipate risk and plan treatment accordingly. Aesthetic medicine courses built around this principle help doctors develop the spatial reasoning that underpins safe and effective work.

Beyond anatomy, modern aesthetic practice demands a systemic view of the face. Comprehensive treatment planning — assessing proportions, volume distribution, and asymmetries before any intervention — is increasingly what distinguishes reactive correction from deliberate, results-driven aesthetic medicine.

What the programs cover

Training in aesthetic medicine on OHI-S spans a broad range of clinical directions, each addressing real challenges in everyday practice.

• Facial architecture and combination injection protocols — decoding facial structure through bony landmarks, gender differences, and proportional analysis; strategic integration of Botulinum Toxin Type A and hyaluronic acid fillers into treatment plans that address not just wrinkles, but structure, balance, and expression.
• Structured approach to facial aesthetics — anatomical and vascular safety protocols, volumization planning, medical face lifting principles, complication prevention and management. A systematic clinical framework applicable both to doctors building their foundation and to experienced practitioners refining their decision-making.
• Ultrasound-guided injections — real-time visualization of vascular and soft-tissue structures, ultrasound-guided filler placement, and the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound in aesthetic practice. A dedicated direction for doctors seeking to elevate both safety and precision.
• Regenerative aesthetic medicine — exosome therapy and regenerative protocols for skin rejuvenation, scar correction, hair restoration, and post-procedure recovery. Clinically structured approaches that go beyond trend-driven application.
• Laser and device-based techniques — CO₂ laser resurfacing for face and hands, aesthetic applications of energy-based technologies, indications, safety considerations, and integration into comprehensive treatment plans.

Practical knowledge for clinical application

Programs in this section are built around clinical tasks rather than abstract theory. Each course is structured to address the decisions a doctor actually faces: how to read facial architecture before treatment, how to combine injectables into a coherent strategy, how to apply ultrasound to reduce vascular risk, how to set up and perform laser resurfacing with controlled outcomes. The emphasis throughout is on transferable knowledge — clear protocols, technique demonstrations, and systematic frameworks that can be applied directly in daily practice.

Learning from internationally recognized experts

The programs in this section are authored by practitioners with extensive international clinical and teaching experience. Among them — Alessio Redaelli, Professor of Aesthetic Medicine and Specialist in Vascular Surgery, Visiting Professor at the University of Genova, Scientific Director of the IPAM International Congress, and Senior Ambassador for Ipsen and Fillmed; Patrick Treacy, Professor in aesthetic and regenerative medicine and recipient of the IAPEM Lifetime Achievement Award 2025; Sara Khoshnaw, worldwide trainer in ultrasound-guided injections and speaker at EADV, AMWC, and IMCAS; Nenad Stankovic, who has trained thousands of medical professionals worldwide through mentor-supported sessions and is a founding member of the SUDEL society; and Ali Salsabeel, specialist in regenerative aesthetic medicine and speaker at AMWC.

Programs for different levels of clinical experience

The catalog includes programs suited to different stages of professional development. Doctors who are building their foundation in aesthetic medicine will find courses that cover injection principles, facial anatomy, and core safety protocols in structured detail. More experienced practitioners can choose advanced programs focused on complex cases, combination approaches, emerging regenerative technologies, and refined injection strategies.
