Non-surgical aesthetics, also known as cosmetic aesthetics and facial aesthetics, describes the use of medically based procedures to cause a facial cosmetic change or enhancement.

At the most basic level, facial aesthetics are small, non-surgical treatments causing subtle but visible enhancements to your appearance. Clinically safe injectables are used to either block nerve signals to muscles to relax facial expressions (botox) or to define, re-volumise, and accentuate facial contours (dermal fillers).

These are tasks that dentists are exceptionally well-qualified to perform thanks to their knowledge of facial anatomy and their dexterity in performing delicate treatments on a daily basis.

Dermal fillers are an important component of advanced aesthetics training and practice. The Dr. Hennessy Academy’s dermal filler courses are suitable for dentists, doctors, nurses, and midwives:

  • Doctors
    Doctors have lots of relevant knowledge and experience from medical training and practice, so, taking a botox and dermal filler course is a great way for Doctors to expand their knowledge and further their career.
  • Dentists
    Dentists already work in the field of aesthetics, so our botox and dermal filler courses are in tune with their needs to gain hands-on experience in non-invasive facial surgeries.
  • Nurses
    Nurses are among the most hard-working and flexible people in the medical industry, expand your career with a botox and dermal filler course, and follow a profession that can push your income further.
  • Midwives
    Being a midwife is a challenging yet rewarding career, and we tune our courses to help you learn new skills and open your career up to new possibilities.

Botulinum Toxin is a muscle-relaxing medication made from bacteria called Clostridium Botulinum. The Botulinum Toxin is naturally occurring and can be readily found in soil, in the ground.

More commonly known as Botox, it is administered via injections to smooth wrinkles. Botox injections are effective because they weaken or paralyze certain muscles or block certain nerves. Normally, your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. Botox however blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles with the result that the injected muscle can no longer contract (or tighten) as forcefully, causing the wrinkles to relax and soften.

Botox and Azzalure have been used for many years very safely in various medical conditions such as cerebral palsy and for about 30 years in cosmetic use. Side effects are very rare but allergic reactions and effects on other muscles to those being treated have been reported in the medical press.

BotulinumToxin is injected with a fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. Anti-wrinkle generally takes three to seven days to take full effect.
