FAQ
Ultrasound guidance is crucial for aesthetic procedures because it allows practitioners to visualize facial anatomy in real-time, identifying vascular structures and precisely placing fillers. This significantly reduces complication risks, improves treatment outcomes, and represents the gold standard in injection safety.
Our ultrasound course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals including physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses who have prior experience with or are currently training in aesthetic injections. All participants should have a foundation in medical aesthetics before attending.
Ultrasound technology enhances patient safety by allowing practitioners to visualize vascular structures before injection, confirm precise needle placement, identify previously placed fillers, and detect complications early. This visualization dramatically reduces risks associated with blind injections.
We maintain a very low instructor-to-student ratio by limiting each course to a maximum of 6 participants. This ensures each healthcare professional receives personalized instruction and ample hands-on practice time with the ultrasound equipment.
Yes, our course is specifically designed to provide the practical skills needed to implement ultrasound technology immediately in your practice. The hands-on training format ensures you’ll leave with confidence in your ability to use ultrasound for guided aesthetic procedures.
Comprehensive study materials are provided two weeks before the course, including detailed facial anatomy guides, ultrasound interpretation resources, complication management protocols, and technique guides. These materials allow you to prepare in advance to maximize your in-person learning.
While traditional aesthetic courses focus on external landmarks and technique, ultrasound training takes your skills to an advanced level by teaching you to visualize internal structures. This visualization allows for more precise, safer treatments and represents the future standard of care in aesthetic medicine.
Ultrasound guidance can help prevent serious complications including vascular occlusion, tissue necrosis, nerve damage, and improper product placement. By visualizing structures before and during injection, practitioners can avoid high-risk areas and confirm optimal product placement.
Yes, AMEQ Academy’s training programs are designed to meet or exceed the standards set by relevant Canadian medical regulatory bodies, including requirements for continuing education in specialized aesthetic procedures.
AMEQ Academy offers the Basic Ultrasound Course for Healthcare Professionals several times throughout the year, with upcoming sessions in May and June 2025. Due to the small-group format, courses fill quickly, and early registration is recommended.
Basic ultrasound techniques focus on fundamental anatomy visualization, vascular mapping, and guided injection principles. Advanced techniques, which may be covered in subsequent training, include complex complication management, layered filler visualization, and specialized regional approaches.
While the primary focus is on filler injections where ultrasound guidance provides the most significant safety benefits, the course does cover applications for neuromodulator injections, particularly in anatomically complex areas where precision is crucial.
