Abstract

The Division of Evidence Based Medicine (dEBM), Clinic for Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology, Charité--Universitätsmedizin Berlin, offers on a regular basis workshops focusing on different areas of aesthetic medicine. Once a year a joint course is provided in cooperation with the Institute of Anatomy, offering the participants the possibility to improve their injection techniques as well as their knowledge on the facial anatomy. This course is focused on treatment with hyaluronic acids of different particle size. Besides the classical indications, it considers new indications such as correcting the shape of the nose or lacrimal groove. Thirteen physicians participated in the course, which was evaluated as very helpful as it improved not only the injection technique but also the knowledge of anatomy.
