Course Curriculum

What you learn in the
Filler Foundational course

This course is built for providers who are new to dermal filler injection or who want a structured, safety-first foundation before advancing. The morning covers HA science, facial anatomy, product selection, and injection technique in a focused didactic format. The afternoon shifts entirely to supervised hands-on injection on live consented patients, where every attendee performs the core treatment areas under Naomi's direct supervision. Vascular occlusion management and hyaluronidase technique are taught before anyone picks up a syringe.

1
Facial Anatomy for Filler Injectors — Layer by Layer
+
  • The five layers of the face: skin, subcutaneous fat, SMAS, deep fat, and periosteum — and why injection depth determines outcome and risk simultaneously
  • Facial fat compartments: superficial and deep compartments, their boundaries, how they change with age, and what this means for volume placement
  • Vascular anatomy: the facial artery, angular artery, infraorbital artery, and labial arteries — identification, typical course, and the high-risk zones adjacent to each
  • Danger zones for filler: the glabella, nasolabial region, temple, and periorbital area — why they carry vascular occlusion risk and how anatomy explains it
  • Sensory nerve anatomy: infraorbital, mental, and supraorbital foramina — location, exit points, and clinical relevance for pain and patient communication
  • The anatomy of facial aging: how volume loss, ligament laxity, and bony resorption combine to create the changes filler can address — and the limits of what filler alone can do

Every anatomic structure is taught from the injector's perspective — not as memorization, but as spatial awareness you need to place a needle safely at depth.

2
HA Filler Science & Product Selection
+
  • Hyaluronic acid: native HA vs. cross-linked HA — why cross-linking is what gives filler its longevity and physical properties
  • The three key rheologic properties: G prime (stiffness/lift capacity), viscosity (flow during injection), and cohesivity (integration with tissue) — what each means for product selection
  • FDA-approved HA filler families: Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero — product-by-product comparison of properties and recommended applications
  • Matching product to area: why the same face requires different G prime values in different zones, and the errors beginners make by using one product everywhere
  • Lidocaine-containing vs. plain HA fillers: clinical difference in patient experience, onset, and injection technique
  • Filler longevity: realistic duration expectations by product and treatment area, and how to communicate this without overpromising
3
Injection Techniques & Core Treatment Areas
+
  • Fundamental injection methods: linear threading (anterograde and retrograde), fanning, cross-hatching, and bolus — when to use each and why technique selection is anatomy-dependent
  • Needle vs. cannula: mechanism of each, when a cannula reduces vascular risk, and why beginners should understand both before committing to one approach
  • Nasolabial folds: anatomy of the fold, deep vs. superficial injection approach, lateral vs. medial placement, typical volume ranges, and the "over-filled NLF" error to avoid
  • Marionette lines: prejowl anatomy, entry point selection, depth considerations, and volume management for a natural result
  • Injection speed, pressure, and aspiration: the technique variables that reduce vascular risk during filler injection
  • Proper patient positioning, lighting, and anatomic landmarking before every treatment

All techniques are demonstrated by Naomi before the afternoon hands-on session. Every attendee performs nasolabial fold and marionette line treatment on live patients under direct supervision.

4
Patient Consultation, Assessment & Consent
+
  • Absolute contraindications: active infection, allergy to HA or lidocaine, autoimmune conditions requiring immunosuppression, pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Relative contraindications and case-by-case judgment: anticoagulant use, prior filler in the same area, unrealistic expectations, body dysmorphia screening
  • Facial aesthetic assessment: the thirds, the ogee curve, facial symmetry analysis — a structured framework for identifying what to treat vs. what to leave alone
  • Consultation structure: the 4 questions every filler patient should answer before treatment proceeds
  • Before photography: standardized lighting, angles, and documentation protocol for medicolegal protection and outcome tracking
  • Informed consent documentation: what a filler consent form must include in Arizona, and the patient communication points that prevent most post-treatment complaints
5
Complication Prevention & Management — Including Vascular Occlusion
+
  • Common complications: bruising, swelling, asymmetry, palpable nodules — prevention, patient communication, and management timelines
  • Tyndall effect: what it is, which products cause it, how to avoid it, and how to treat it with hyaluronidase
  • Vascular occlusion (VO): mechanism — how filler enters or compresses a vessel and what happens to the tissue supplied by it within minutes
  • Recognizing VO in real time: blanching, livedo reticularis, pain out of proportion, delayed dusky discoloration — the signs and the time window you have to act
  • The VO emergency protocol: immediate hyaluronidase injection, dose, technique, aspirin, warm compress, nitropaste — step by step, in sequence, with timing
  • Hyaluronidase: mechanism, dosing by area, reconstitution, allergy testing considerations, and how to stock and use it in your practice before you need it in an emergency
  • Ocular complications: the mechanism of filler-induced blindness, why it is not always the injector's fault but is always the injector's responsibility, and the immediate response protocol

VO and hyaluronidase are taught before anyone injects. Every attendee leaves with a written VO emergency protocol for their practice and has handled a hyaluronidase vial during the course.

6
Supervised Hands-On Injection & Practice Setup
+
  • Afternoon hands-on session: every attendee performs nasolabial fold and marionette line treatment on live consented patients under Naomi's direct supervision
  • Pre-injection setup: room preparation, product selection for the patient in front of you, landmarking, photography, and consent review
  • Real-time instructor feedback on needle depth, injection speed, pressure management, and technique adjustment mid-treatment
  • Post-treatment review: assessment of result, documentation, and patient discharge instructions
  • Phoenix metro pricing benchmarks: per-syringe vs. per-area models, current market rates for NLF and marionette treatment, and how to structure your initial pricing
  • Scheduling and workflow: filler appointment time allocation, same-day Botox add-ons, and the 2-week follow-up structure used at Beso Wellness & Beauty
Treatment Areas Covered

Two areas. Both performed
on live patients.

Superficial + Deep Fat · Facial Artery Adjacent
Nasolabial Folds
The primary foundational treatment area

The nasolabial fold is the highest-volume treatment area for beginner injectors and one of the highest-risk for vascular complication. Anatomy of the nasolabial region, the angular artery's typical course, deep vs. superficial injection plane selection, and the difference between treating the fold and treating the volume loss causing it are all addressed before technique.

Typical volume: 0.5–1.5ml HA per side · Product: mid-high G prime HA
Subcutaneous · Prejowl Anatomy
Marionette Lines
Volume restoration at the oral commissure

Marionette lines result from volume loss in the prejowl sulcus and descent of the oral commissure — not just surface lines. Understanding the anatomy of the depressor anguli oris, the mental nerve foramen location, and the transition between deep and superficial injection planes allows for natural results without the "shelf" artifact common in beginner marionette work.

Typical volume: 0.3–1ml HA per side · Product: mid G prime HA
Technique Foundation
Linear Threading & Fanning
Core injection methods used in both areas

Both treatment areas are performed using linear threading (retrograde and anterograde) and fanning technique — the two most applicable foundational methods for soft tissue restoration in the lower face. Bolus technique is introduced conceptually for future training in areas like the tear trough and temple where it becomes the method of choice.

Aspiration technique and injection speed discipline are covered for both methods
Emergency Protocol
Hyaluronidase & VO Management
Required before any live injection session

Every attendee handles a hyaluronidase vial and reviews the vascular occlusion emergency protocol before the afternoon session begins. Recognition of blanching, livedo, and delayed ischemic signs — and the hyaluronidase injection sequence, dosing, and timing — are taught as non-negotiable prerequisites to injecting any HA filler, at any level.

Hyaluronidase reconstitution, dosing, and injection covered in Module 5
Product Knowledge
HA Product Comparison
Juvederm · Restylane · Belotero

Side-by-side comparison of the major FDA-approved HA filler families across G prime, viscosity, cohesivity, and recommended applications. Product selection is taught as a clinical decision — the same treatment area in two different patients may require different products based on skin thickness, existing volume, and desired result. You leave able to make that call.

Hands-on session uses products appropriate for the treatment areas covered
Next Step
Advanced Filler Course
Lips, Cheeks, Tear Trough & More

The Advanced Filler course builds on this foundational framework and covers the lip, cheek, tear trough, jawline, and chin — the higher-complexity areas that require the anatomy and technique confidence built in this course first. Recommended after 20–30 supervised foundational treatments.

What You Leave With

Skills and materials to
start seeing patients immediately.

Live injection experience on real patients

Every attendee injects on live consented patients during the afternoon session — nasolabial folds and marionette lines performed from start to finish, including pre-injection landmarking, photography, product selection, injection, and post-treatment assessment. Not observation. Not a model with no clinical feedback. Real patients treated to completion.

Course manual & full anatomy reference

A comprehensive course manual covering facial anatomy layer diagrams, the vascular danger zone maps, product comparison charts, injection technique illustrations, and the full VO emergency protocol — built to function as a clinical reference you return to in your practice, not a document you file after the course.

Vascular occlusion emergency protocol

A written, step-by-step vascular occlusion emergency protocol formatted for your practice — including hyaluronidase dosing by area, injection sequence, adjunct steps, and when to escalate to emergency care. You handle hyaluronidase during the course so your first exposure isn't the moment you need it urgently.

Certificate of completion

A certificate of completion suitable for your professional portfolio and any credentialing documentation your practice or medical director relationship requires. Issued same-day upon course completion.

Phoenix market pricing & practice setup guidance

Current Phoenix metro pricing benchmarks for foundational filler treatment, per-syringe vs. per-area pricing model comparison, scheduling workflow recommendations, and the multi-course discount structure if you plan to add Botox, lip, or advanced filler training in the same period.

Flexible scheduling — you request the date

Unlike fixed-calendar courses, you submit your preferred training date when you register and our coordinator confirms availability. Offered biweekly. If you're coordinating with a colleague, group registration for 2+ providers from the same practice receives a group discount applied automatically.

Who This Course Is For

Built for providers starting
their filler foundation

Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants — new to aesthetics

NPs and PAs adding filler injection to a clinical scope that may be primarily medical — primary care, urgent care, hormone optimization, or another non-aesthetic specialty. The course requires no prior injection experience beyond the clinical skills you already have. Arizona full practice authority for NPs means no supervising physician is needed to practice independently after certification.

Registered Nurses entering medical aesthetics

RNs working in or establishing a medspa who need foundational filler training under medical director oversight. The course covers the scope of practice documentation structure applicable to RN injectors in Arizona, and the medical director relationship requirements for supervised HA filler treatment. Ask about our medical director services if you need coverage established.

Physicians adding aesthetics to an existing clinical practice

MDs and DOs — particularly in primary care, dermatology, or OB-GYN — who want to add filler injection as a cash-pay service line without the overhead of a full aesthetics build-out. The course is structured to give you clinical competence and practice setup guidance, not just injection technique.

Providers with Botox experience ready to add filler

Injectors who completed the Botox Beginner course — or who have neuromodulator experience from another training — and are ready to add volume restoration to their scope. Filler and Botox patients overlap significantly; providers who offer both retain patients more effectively and build a more sustainable injectable practice.

Prerequisites
What you need before enrolling

This is a true foundational course — no prior filler experience is required. Prior Botox or injection training is helpful but not a prerequisite. The course covers everything from the ground up, including facial anatomy, before anyone picks up a syringe.

  • Active, unrestricted Arizona license in your field (MD, DO, NP, PA, or RN)
  • Comfortable performing injections under your licensure scope
  • No prior filler experience required
  • Out-of-state providers welcome — Arizona licensure required to treat patients, not to attend training
Flexible Scheduling

Submit your preferred training date when you register. Our coordinator reviews and confirms availability within 1–2 business days. Sessions are held biweekly. Group registrations (2+ providers from the same practice) are processed together and receive an automatic group discount — mention your group when registering.

Your Instructor

Naomi Fayzulayev,
FNP-C

Naomi Fayzulayev is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with 9+ years dedicated to advanced facial aesthetics, with a background in dermatology that informs her approach to both injection technique and skin science. She is the lead aesthetic injector and founder of Beso Wellness & Beauty in Phoenix — an active medspa where she performs filler injection on patients every week. The Foundational Filler course is built around what she does in that practice: the product selection logic, the technique decisions, the consultation structure, the VO protocol.

Foundational filler training has a persistent problem: courses that teach technique without anatomy, or anatomy without the clinical context that makes it usable at the chair. Naomi teaches both, in sequence, because the facial anatomy module is the injection technique module — you can't separate them and produce a safe injector. Every anatomic structure is taught in terms of what it means for where you place your needle.

Clinical Training Courses at Beso Provider Hub

Across injectables, sexual wellness, hormone optimization, PRP, and hair restoration. The Foundational Filler course shares the same hands-on standard as every Beso Provider Hub course.

Why Train at Beso

What makes this different from
other filler courses

Most foundational filler courses have the same structural problem: anatomy is taught as memorization, technique is demonstrated once, and the hands-on session is too short and too crowded to produce reliable skill transfer. You leave having injected something. You don't necessarily leave knowing why you made each decision you did.

The anatomy module at Beso is an injection planning module. Every structure — every fat compartment, every vessel, every nerve foramen — is covered in terms of what it means for where your needle goes, how deep, and at what angle. The vascular occlusion protocol is taught before anyone injects. Hyaluronidase is handled before the afternoon session begins. This is the sequence that produces safe injectors, not just injectors who got lucky on their first live patient.

The small group format means Naomi can watch your needle depth, your injection speed, your pressure management, and your patient communication during the live session — and correct any of them in real time. That feedback is what clinical readiness actually requires.

Vascular occlusion protocol before the first injection — not after

Every attendee reviews the VO emergency protocol and handles hyaluronidase before the afternoon hands-on session begins. This is not a module at the end of the day. It is a prerequisite for picking up a syringe — because the injector who has never thought through a VO response is not ready to inject, regardless of their technique.

Anatomy taught as injection planning — not as memorization

The facial anatomy module is organized around the injector's decision-making framework: what layer, what depth, what vessel is nearby, what happens if the needle is 2mm too deep. Every structure is taught in terms of its clinical consequence — not as a list of names to memorize before the practical exam.

Flexible scheduling — biweekly, date on request

You submit your preferred date and our coordinator confirms availability within 1–2 business days. No waiting for the next scheduled cohort. Group registrations (2+ providers from the same practice) receive a group discount automatically. Multi-course bundles available for providers adding Botox or advanced filler training in the same period.

Arizona-specific scope of practice guidance built in

Consent documentation, Arizona scope of practice for RNs vs. NPs vs. MDs, and the medical director relationship structure for RN injectors are all covered. Not generic compliance guidance — Arizona-specific, current, and drawn from active practice in the same regulatory environment you're working in.
