Course Description

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers used in aesthetic medicine are effective and generally well-tolerated, but complications do arise. Discussion of key prevention strategies is warranted, as the most common adverse events are closely related to specific injection strategies, and may therefore be preventable. This program reviews the potential complications that clinicians may encounter following procedures with HA fillers, and describes strategies to prevent and manage these potential complications.

The goal of this online program is to support physicians, nurses, and the medical aesthetic community in optimizing patient outcomes following procedures with HA fillers.


This program has received an unrestricted educational grant or in-kind support from Allergan.
