FACIAL EXPRESSIONS IN THE UPPER FACE
AND PERTINENT MUSCLES
Course Introduction
The uniqueness of everyone’s face correlates to the differences in facial expressions they have and the way we look. Our muscles move in predictable fashions with contraction and relaxation. Using botulinum toxin to change this muscle action will lead to a beautiful expression or quite the opposite. This course will dive into the upper face expressions and their pertinent muscles. It will cover the relationship between the upper face muscles and its expressions, and the five core muscles of the upper face. You will find the course rewarding and beneficial to your understanding of human upper-face expressions.
Course Objective
Every patient that walks through the door is unique, therefore we must not rely on a one-size-fits-all approach when providing injection treatments. The proper treatment protocol for each patient is determined by a series of decisions that you as an injector must make. This course is the first step toward building the foundational knowledge necessary to make those decisions. Our patients want predictable and consistent results and as injectors we must know where we are starting in order to understand where we are going. Our mission is to help you cultivate the knowledge and abilities needed to make decisions that will lead you to predictable and consistent patient outcomes.
