Injection Danger Zones Docent LLC Cadaver Worskshop

Dr. Pilest Attends Injection-Safety Cadaver Workshop

Injection safety has become an important issue with the new uses of injectables. Core physicians were invited to participate in a one-of-a-kind Human Cadaver workshop developed by Docent LLC. Physicians were presented with a unique hands on opportunity to actually see inside the skin how fillers behave and how to safely navigate delicate structures. Avoiding the "danger zones" such as arteries and facial nerves is of the utmost importance in providing pleasing patient results as safely as possible.

"Every physician who injects fillers or toxins should at the least view and complete the online Cadaver Dissection CME by Docent LLC - and if at all possible, participate in a live workshop as they provide invaluable techniques and knowledge." Nissan Pilest, M.D.

A typical Isolaz treatment plan is once weekly for 6 weeks then occasional maintenance treatments or an "on demand" treatment if there is unexpected acne flare.
