AIA Cadaver Training at MSS: 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

A deep understanding of facial anatomy is critical for any practitioner who plans to safely perform injectables. Through injector-specific lecture topics and hands-on cross-sectional dissection, attendees gain practical knowledge of facial anatomy, from the rheology of filler products to the depth and variability of facial structures.

The Academy for Injection Anatomy (AIA) cadaver lab brings you up close and beneath the surface of the skin. First you inject, then you dissect to see how close you were to the delicate vasculature of the face. Small lab groups and instruction from foremost anatomists and aesthetic injectors will help you level up your skills and safe practices. Attendees also receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Surek's book, Facial Volumization: An Anatomic Approach.

Seating is limited, so if you’ve been wanting to improve your safety and refresh your understanding of facial anatomy up-close, with small group instruction, sign up soon to save your place.

AIA Cadaver Training at the Medical Spa Show has been approved for 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ of continuing medical education.
