MASTER THE ART OF THE CANNULA

Advanced Cannula Training for Aesthetic Injectors in Orange County

Ready to expand beyond needle-only techniques?

Spend a full day in our hands-on training lab working with 5–6 live models from start to finish—from facial assessment and consultation through treatment and charting.

With a maximum of just 3 students per class and instructors with 20+ years of experience in aesthetic injecting and education, you’ll learn when, where, and how to confidently incorporate cannula techniques into facial filler treatments.

EXPAND YOUR SKILLS. ELEVATE YOUR RESULTS.

This intensive 1-day Advanced Cannula Course is designed for licensed aesthetic injectors with prior dermal filler experience who are ready to add advanced cannula techniques to their skill set.

And this isn’t demonstration-based training. All learning takes place in a hands-on lab setting with live models.

You’ll work through real treatments from beginning to end—assessing facial anatomy, understanding each model’s individual goals, creating a treatment plan, consulting, injecting, and completing appropriate charting.

Because no two faces are the same, our live-model format exposes you to different ages, anatomies, aesthetic goals, wants, and needs—helping you develop the judgment required to treat real patients, not just practice a technique.

5–6 Live Models

Work with multiple live models throughout the day, gaining exposure to different facial anatomies, ages, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Start-to-Finish Treatment Experience

Learn the entire patient journey: assessment to consultation to treatment planning to injection to charting. Technique matters. But becoming a great injector also means knowing how to assess the person sitting in front of you and create an appropriate treatment plan.

20+ Years of Injector + Educator Experience

Learn from instructors with more than 20 years of experience both injecting and teaching aesthetic medicine. Our instructors actively practice as injectors in addition to educating, helping ensure that what you learn reflects current aesthetic techniques, patient expectations, and real-world clinical experience.

Maximum 3 Students

Our classes are intentionally small to provide personalized mentorship, direct instructor feedback, and extensive hands-on time.

ADVANCED CANNULA COURSE

What you will learn

Great injectors don’t choose a cannula simply because it’s a cannula—or a needle simply because it’s familiar. They understand when to use each tool, where to use it, and why.

Our Advanced Cannula Course takes you beyond simply learning a new injection technique. You’ll learn to assess the whole patient, understand their anatomy and aesthetic goals, develop a treatment plan, select the appropriate technique, perform the treatment, and complete the clinical experience through charting.

During this immersive 1-day training, you’ll learn:

  • Facial Assessment + Consultation – Evaluate each live model’s anatomy, age, proportions, concerns, goals, and treatment history before ever picking up a syringe.
  • Treatment Planning – Translate what you see—and what your patient wants—into a thoughtful treatment plan designed around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all technique.
  • Strategic Cannula Placement – Understand how anatomy, treatment area, tissue plane, entry point, and desired outcome influence cannula placement and product delivery.
  • Needle vs. Cannula Selection – Learn the advantages and limitations of each approach and how to select the appropriate tool based on anatomy, treatment area, product, patient, and desired outcome.
  • Multiple Facial Areas – Apply cannula techniques across multiple appropriate facial areas while developing a more comprehensive approach to facial enhancement.
  • Facial Anatomy + Safety – Review relevant facial anatomy, tissue planes, vascular considerations, risk awareness, and principles for recognizing and responding to filler complications.
  • Live Model Injection – Gain extensive hands-on experience with 5–6 live models, with instructor guidance and feedback throughout the treatment process.
  • Treatment Artistry – Learn to look beyond an isolated treatment area and evaluate the face as a whole, supporting balanced, natural-looking results.
  • Clinical Charting – Complete the treatment process by learning appropriate documentation and charting following treatment.
  • Positioning + Practice Growth – Learn how to communicate the value of advanced filler treatments and confidently incorporate your expanded skill set into your aesthetic practice.
