Attendee Testimonials

Hear from Past Attendees

“It’s one thing where we learn things on paper, and we learn things in this very 2D view, but when you’re able to see it, and feel it, and dissect it, it gives you a totally different perspective.”

Jennifer Fleming, NP

Owner, The Alchemy Clinic

“I do not believe that any injector should be practicing on a live patient until they are actually able to dissect a face and look at the anatomy.”

Stephanie Porter, ANP-C
