A structured workflow can help clinicians avoid standardized injection patterns that fail to account for individual facial characteristics.

Lesson 6: Multi-Layered Facial Aging Mechanics: Bone, Fat, Muscle & Skin

Facial aging does not occur exclusively at the skin level.

The sixth lesson explores aging as a multi-layer structural process involving:

• Bone
• Fat
• Muscle
• Retaining ligaments
• Skin

Topics Include

• Fundamentals of facial aesthetics
• Facial aging pathophysiology
• Age-related skin changes
• Elastosis
• Dynamic rhytids
• Structural wrinkles
• Sleep compression lines
• Glogau wrinkle classification
• Superficial fat compartments
• Deep facial fat
• Muscle hypertonicity
• Retaining ligament laxity

• Nasal aperture changes
• Lower-face remodeling
• Young versus aging facial architecture

Understanding these different anatomical layers provides the foundation for selecting appropriate rejuvenation strategies.

Glogau Wrinkle Classification

The program reviews the Glogau classification system as part of the clinical evaluation of facial aging.

This helps practitioners distinguish between different degrees and patterns of photoaging and wrinkle development when creating individualized treatment strategies.

Facial Fat & Structural Aging

Age-related facial changes may involve both superficial and deep fat compartments.

Understanding these changes can improve decisions involving:

• Volume restoration
• Structural support
• Dermal filler selection
• Facial contouring
• Treatment depth
• Combination rejuvenation

Craniofacial Bone Remodeling

Facial skeletal structures also change with age.

The course explores age-related remodeling involving areas such as:

• Orbital rim
• Nasal aperture
• Midface
• Lower face

These skeletal changes contribute to shifts in soft tissue support and overall facial proportions.

Lesson 7: Dermal Filler Science: Material Types, Rheology & Hyaluronic Acid Formulations

The final lesson focuses on the science behind injectable dermal fillers.

Selecting the appropriate filler requires more than choosing a product based solely on injection area.

Practitioners should understand the physical behavior of injectable materials and how those properties influence clinical performance.

Types of Dermal Fillers

The course reviews both resorbable and non-resorbable filler materials.

Important categories discussed include:

Hyaluronic Acid – HA

One of the most widely used categories of injectable fillers in aesthetic medicine.
