Danger Zones
A focused safety course dedicated to high-risk facial regions in aesthetic medicine. This program trains practitioners to accurately map critical vessels, nerves, and tissue planes, recognize early warning signs, and apply region-specific strategies to minimize complications and improve procedural safety. Special emphasis is placed on the early recognition and differential diagnosis of facial nerve injury.
