OHI-S Botulinum Toxin for Facial Rejuvenation, Migraine Relief, Hyperhidrosis Treatment 4 lessons 1h 7min

Patrick Treacy connects the foundations of botulinum toxin use with facial aesthetics, chronic migraine, and hyperhidrosis in this OHI-S course. The program is listed as three lessons plus a free clinical demonstration, with a total duration of 1 hour 7 minutes. It begins with pharmacology, anatomy, patient assessment, contraindications, and complications, then considers the different goals and protocols involved in therapeutic applications. The final presentation demonstrates clinical techniques. Intended for appropriately trained clinicians, the course provides a concise review of assessment, indication-specific planning, and follow-up across aesthetic medicine, neurology, and dermatology rather than standalone procedural training.

The source lists lesson durations of 25, 11, 21, and 8 minutes alongside a total course duration of 1 hour 7 minutes; these figures are reproduced as listed and do not reconcile exactly. Language: English. The fourth lesson is identified as the provider’s free clinical demonstration.

Product-specific indications, units, and labeling must be distinguished; the inclusion of a technique in the curriculum does not establish regulatory approval for every application. Recorded demonstrations do not replace supervised procedural training or establish injection or nerve-block competency.
