Injection Anatomy & Cadaver Lab Training Course
What You'll Learn
Beauty and Safety Through AnatomyTM
This injection anatomy cadaver lab course will be unlike anything you have ever experienced in professional injectable education. AAFE injection anatomy deals first with each anatomical structure and then even more importantly, knowing the depths of each structure, when the vasculature is deep, shallow, where it transitions in relation to the muscles, the facial fat pads, where the neurovascular bundles are, and so much more.
This private, limited attendance immersion course will feature anatomical cadaver dissection lab with AAFE Anatomist Faculty plus new AAFE on-demand training with the latest applied injection anatomy techniques and esthetic ultrasound training. Together with on-demand AAFE Injection Anatomy training, this 18 hour injection anatomy course is guaranteed to make you a better and safer injector provider so you get the best esthetic outcomes for your patients.

Master Injection Anatomy for Safer, More Precise Outcomes
AAFE’s Cadaver Lab course will be unlike anything you’ve experienced in injectable education. You’ll go deep into the anatomy that matters most for safe injection — tissue depths, vascular transitions, fat pad relationships, neurovascular bundle locations — the details that separate confident injectors from hesitant ones.
This private, limited-attendance, and immersive course combines hands-on cadaver dissection with AAFE anatomist faculty, esthetic ultrasound training, and PDO thread cadaver lab experience—three powerful skill sets in one training.
Whether you want to inject with greater confidence or simply understand the anatomy behind every treatment you perform, AAFE’s Cadaver Lab training is your next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before enrolling
No previous injectable experience is required. AAFE’s Level 1 Botulinum Toxin & Filler Training is specifically designed for beginners and healthcare professionals who are new to facial esthetics. The course includes step-by-step instruction in facial anatomy, injection techniques, safety protocols, and hands-on live patient training to help you build confidence and foundational skills safely.
AAFE courses include hands-on live patient training supervised by experienced instructors. Participants who bring a qualified model patient can perform injections during training, with additional opportunities sometimes available depending on course timing and patient availability. Model patients are not provided, so it is highly recommended you bring your own to guarantee live injection participation.
AAFE training courses are open to licensed healthcare professionals, which may include physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and other qualified medical professionals where permitted by law. Eligibility and scope of practice vary by state, province, and country, so participants should verify local requirements and treatment permissions with their applicable licensing or regulatory board.
Your course fee includes on-demand learning modules, live hands-on training, expert instruction, 1 vial of neurotoxin or dermal filler for use in the course (varies by course type), and certification upon successful completion of the course.
