BELOTERO ® Volume Masterclass with Emma Chan

Highlights from a Merz Institute of Advanced Aesthetics BELOTERO ® Volume Masterclass

Aesthetic nurse prescriber Emma Chan helped delegates to become Merz Institute of Advanced Aesthetics certified practitioners at the latest Masterclass within the Merz Innovation Partner Programme. Delegates attended an exclusive, invitation only educational meeting on December 2nd. The goal of the Masterclass was to provide expert-led, scientific education on BELOTERO ® Volume, supported by practical guidance of the bespoke injection technique. Delegates learnt how the unique CPM™ (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix) technology can be harnessed to deliver optimal natural results for patients.

Learning the science Emma began the Masterclass by delivering a scientific lecture on the rheology of volumising fillers and the differentiating features of BELOTERO ® Volume. The Masterclass then moved on to cover a full facial analysis of a patient, combined with a deep dive into specific facial anatomy related to the treatment plan. Emma delivered a live demonstration of temples, cheeks, chin and jawline, showcasing a variety of specific multi-layer injection techniques bespoke to BELOTERO ® Volume. Emma’s treatment plan focused on achieving holistic facial volumisation by creating natural transitions, projection and definition. The afternoon session was dedicated to the delegates gaining first-hand injection technique experience with BELOTERO ® Volume. Each delegate had exclusive one-toone guidance time, where they received support in creating the appropriate mid face volumisation treatment plan for their own patient followed by supervision of their injection technique. Throughout the session, Emma offered expert advice and support to the delegates as they shared their own stories and experiences of aesthetic medicine. The day closed with a review of the objectives that were set at the start of the day and a summary of key learnings. Upon completion of this masterclass, each delegate earned 7 CPD points and became a Merz Institute of Advanced Aesthetics certified practitioner. General and cosmetic dentist Dr Natalie Ball said following the event, “My Merz Account Manager Kerry Lavin has been really informative throughout my journey from being invited to register for the Masterclass to identifying my needs and ensuring I was provided with the right educational opportunity for my own professional development with Merz brands.” Dr Ball said that Emma created a very informative, approachable and safe environment where delegates felt comfortable to ask questions. She added, “As well as this, Emma’s thorough knowledge of Merz products and how to use them in all types of indications and patients has just been brilliant. I’ve been injecting for seven years, and I’ve been doing cheeks for five, but Emma has taught me how to use BELOTERO ® Volume in a much more bespoke way for individual patient needs. It’s not one size fits all. Today we looked at all the patients in a novel way, incorporating other facial features into the cheek treatment. My treatment planning is definitely going to change going forward.”
