STC – Botulinum Toxin Injection Techniques: A hands-on workshop

This course is designed to teach botulinum toxin preparation and injection techniques for functional and aesthetic indications. Complete beginners will learn the basics of how to perform standard injections for spastic disorders and periocular rhytids. More experienced injectors will learn nuances of injection dilution and placement for optimized cosmesis and duration. A number of oculoplastic surgeons will be present as co-instructors to help ensure that attendees get personalized coaching while practicing their injection techniques on live patients.

NOTE: Due to licensing restraints, only participants with a valid license to practice medicine in Ontario can inject live patients. Others will practice using synthetic heads.
