Structured Approach to Facial Aesthetic Medicine

The central concept of the course is that successful aesthetic treatment begins before the injection itself.

Treatment planning should integrate:

• Facial proportions
• Structural anatomy
• Skin and subcutaneous tissue
• Muscles
• Ligaments
• Facial aging
• Support zones
• Existing volume
• Desired aesthetic change
• Appropriate treatment technique

The clinical framework can be summarized as:

Analyze → Understand Anatomy → Identify Structural Changes → Select Strategy → Treat → Reassess

This helps move aesthetic treatment away from standardized injection patterns toward a more patient-specific structural approach.

Facial Analysis & Treatment Strategy

The first lesson establishes the foundation for aesthetic decision-making through facial analysis.

The official curriculum includes:

• Introduction to aesthetics
• Clinical role of aesthetic analysis
• Rules and measurements of the face
• Facial proportions
• Structural assessment
• Basic concepts of facial beauty
• Translating facial analysis into treatment strategy

Facial Measurements

Understanding facial measurements can help the practitioner evaluate relationships between different facial regions rather than treating one isolated area.

Assessment may consider:

• Overall facial balance
• Proportions
• Relative projection
• Structural support
• Symmetry
• Relationships between facial thirds

The course places these measurements within a broader decision-making process rather than treating them as rigid aesthetic rules.

Facial Proportions

The official first lesson specifically addresses key facial proportions and structural assessment principles.

Facial proportion analysis provides a framework for deciding:

• Which areas require correction
• Which areas should remain untreated
• Whether volume restoration is appropriate
• Whether structural lifting is more suitable
• How treatments in one region may affect overall facial harmony

Basics of Facial Beauty

The course also introduces foundational concepts of facial beauty.

Rather than defining treatment only according to individual lines or wrinkles, the course connects aesthetic planning with overall facial structure and balance.

The objective is to move from:

Isolated Concern → Whole-Face Assessment → Strategic Treatment Plan

Facial Anatomy

The second lesson provides a structured review of anatomy relevant to injectable aesthetic treatments.

Confirmed areas include:

• Facial anatomy overview
• Structural organization of the face
• Layered facial anatomy
• Skin
• Subcutaneous tissues
• Deeper layers
• Glabellar anatomy
• Facial muscles relevant to injectable procedures

Layered Facial Anatomy

Understanding facial anatomy requires more than identifying muscles or vessels individually.

The course examines facial structure as multiple interconnected layers:

Skin → Subcutaneous Tissue → Muscles → Ligaments → Deep Structural Layers

This layered approach helps practitioners understand where injectable products are being placed and how depth can influence treatment strategy.

Skin & Subcutaneous Layers

The official curriculum specifically includes:

• Skin
• Subcutaneous layers
• Deeper structural layers

These structures have different roles in:

• Facial contour
• Aging
• Tissue support
• Injection depth
• Product placement
• Treatment selection

Glabellar Anatomy

The course includes a dedicated anatomical review of the glabellar complex.

This region is particularly relevant to injectable practice because treatment planning requires understanding the relationship among:

• Muscular anatomy
• Tissue layers
• Injection depth
• Adjacent structures

The course introduces the anatomical foundation before discussing more advanced treatment approaches.

Facial Muscles

Facial muscles are reviewed in both the second and third lessons.

The curriculum progresses from introducing the major muscles relevant to injectables toward understanding their functional role in aesthetic treatment.

This helps clinicians move from simply memorizing muscle names to understanding:

Anatomy → Function → Facial Movement → Injectable Strategy

Functional Anatomy for Injectable Precision

Lesson 3 focuses on:

Functional Structures for Injectable Precision

The official curriculum includes:

• Detailed review of muscles relevant to injectables
• Functional role of key facial muscles
• Facial ligaments
• Structural support provided by ligaments
• Relationships between anatomical layers, muscles, and ligaments
• Clinical case analysis

Facial Ligaments

Ligaments play an important role in maintaining facial tissue position and structural support.

The course reviews:

• Relevant facial ligaments
• Their structural role
• Their relationship with surrounding anatomical layers
• Their significance in injectable treatment planning

Understanding these structures supports a more anatomical approach to facial lifting and volumization.

Structural Support

The face is supported through the interaction of:

• Bone
• Deep tissues
• Ligaments
• Fat and soft tissue
• Muscle
• Skin

The course emphasizes understanding these relationships before selecting an aesthetic intervention.

This is particularly important when deciding whether a treatment goal requires:

Volume Restoration vs. Structural Support vs. Lifting

Clinical Case Analysis

The third lesson incorporates clinical case analysis.

Cases help translate anatomy into clinical decision-making by connecting:

Patient Appearance → Structural Assessment → Anatomical Interpretation → Treatment Strategy

This helps bridge the gap between theoretical anatomical education and real-world injectable practice.

Anatomical & Vascular Safety

OHI-S identifies anatomical and vascular safety protocols as one of the principal learning areas of the course.

Safe aesthetic injection requires practitioners to consider:

• Anatomy
• Treatment plane
• Structural relationships
• Injection technique
• Product placement
• Patient-specific variation

The course incorporates these concepts into the broader structural treatment framework.

Facial Aging

The fourth lesson moves from static anatomy toward the anatomical changes associated with facial aging.

Confirmed topics include:

• Anatomical foundations of facial rejuvenation
• Structural changes associated with aging
• Ligament lines
• Support zones
• Lifting versus volumization decisions

Structural Changes With Aging

Facial aging is not limited to changes in the skin.

The course approaches rejuvenation through structural assessment, considering how changes in deeper tissues influence facial appearance.

This supports the clinical transition from:

Visible Aging Sign → Structural Cause → Appropriate Treatment Strategy

Line of Ligaments

Lesson 4 specifically includes:

The line of ligaments and its clinical significance.

Understanding ligamentous support can help clinicians interpret:

• Tissue descent
• Support zones
• Areas of facial transition
• Appropriate lifting vectors
• Where volume restoration may be useful

Support Zones

The official curriculum includes understanding support zones before treatment.

This is important because successful volumization is not simply about adding volume to the location where a patient notices a deficit.

Instead, structural treatment may require identifying:

Where Support Has Been Lost → Where Support Should Be Restored → How That Change Influences the Face

Lifting vs. Volumization

A major decision addressed in Lesson 4 is:

When should the clinician choose lifting, and when should the clinician choose volumization?

The course emphasizes differentiating these treatment objectives before selecting technique.

This creates a more systematic pathway:

Analyze Structure → Determine Primary Problem → Select Lifting or Volume Strategy

Medical Face Lifting

Medical face lifting is one of the major concepts throughout the course.

OHI-S specifically identifies medical face lifting principles among the key learning areas.

The approach connects:

• Facial anatomy
• Ligament support
• Volume distribution
• Injection technique
• Treatment planning

to create a structural rather than purely wrinkle-focused rejuvenation strategy.

Facial Volumization

The fifth lesson provides a practical focus on facial volumization.

The official lesson covers:

• Facial volumization technique
• Strategic facial volume restoration
• Domino strategy
• Medical face lifting with fillers
• Cannula-based filler protocols
• Slow bolus injection
• Zygomatic injections
• Injection procedure video demonstration

Strategic Volume Restoration

Volume replacement should be guided by structural analysis rather than simply adding filler to visible depressions.

The program emphasizes a strategic approach involving:

Facial Assessment → Support Analysis → Volume Planning → Injection Technique

This helps create a more organized framework for whole-face rejuvenation.

The Domino Strategy

The official curriculum includes the Domino strategy in treatment planning.

This concept forms part of Professor Redaelli’s structured approach to determining treatment sequence and evaluating how correction of one facial area may influence neighboring structures.

Medical Face Lifting With Fillers

Lesson 5 specifically covers medical face lifting with fillers.

Rather than treating fillers only as materials for increasing local volume, the course examines their use within a broader structural lifting strategy.

The approach combines:

• Facial anatomy
• Ligament support
• Volume distribution
• Strategic injection
• Whole-face planning

Cannula Technique

The official lesson includes protocols using cannula techniques for filler volumization.

Cannula-based treatment forms part of the broader practical demonstration of facial volume restoration.

Slow Bolus Injection

The course also includes slow bolus injection protocols.

The inclusion of specific injection techniques helps translate the structural planning framework into practical procedural execution.

Zygomatic Injection Techniques

Zygomatic injections are another confirmed component of Lesson 5.

The zygomatic region plays an important structural role in midface support and therefore fits naturally within the course’s lifting and volumization framework.

Practical Injection Demonstration

The final lesson concludes with a video demonstration of the injection procedure.

This allows learners to see the transition from:

Assessment → Treatment Planning → Injection Strategy → Practical Execution

rather than learning technique only from theoretical descriptions.

Botulinum Toxin

OHI-S lists botulinum toxin application protocols among the major learning areas of the complete course.

Botulinum toxin treatment is considered within the wider context of:

• Facial muscular anatomy
• Functional movement
• Patient-specific assessment
• Structured treatment planning

This reinforces the importance of anatomy-driven neuromodulation.

Hyaluronic Acid

The official course description also identifies hyaluronic acid treatment strategies as a key learning area.

Hyaluronic acid treatments are integrated into the broader concepts of:

• Volume restoration
• Facial support
• Medical lifting
• Treatment planning
• Injection strategy

Microneedling

Lesson 4 includes protocols of microneedling as part of the broader facial rejuvenation framework.

This extends the course beyond injectable volumization alone and places microneedling within a combined aesthetic treatment strategy.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization is also included in the official Lesson 4 curriculum.

The course therefore connects structural injectable treatments with other approaches used within aesthetic rejuvenation.

Chemical Peeling

The fourth lesson includes peeling protocols alongside microneedling, biorevitalization, lifting, and volumization.

These modalities illustrate the course’s broader approach to facial rejuvenation rather than a focus on filler alone.

Safe Injection Protocols

Lesson 4 concludes with step-by-step protocols of safe injection.

These protocols connect anatomical knowledge with practical clinical execution.

The treatment pathway can be summarized as:

Assess Anatomy → Define Goal → Select Plane → Select Technique → Inject Carefully → Monitor Outcome

Complication Prevention & Management

The official course description identifies complication prevention and management principles as one of the program’s learning areas.

The course’s structural emphasis supports prevention by encouraging clinicians to understand anatomy, tissue layers, functional structures, and treatment strategy before performing injections.

Beginner & Advanced Frameworks

OHI-S specifically states that the course provides practical frameworks for both beginner and advanced practitioners.

For newer practitioners, the structured approach can provide:

• Assessment sequence
• Anatomical foundations
• Treatment logic
• Procedural planning

For more experienced practitioners, it can support:

• Refinement of strategy
• Structural treatment sequencing
• Volumization planning
• Medical lifting concepts
• More systematic whole-face assessment
