Dermal Filler Training - Phoenix / Scottsdale, AZ

Currently, hyaluronic acid (HA) products make up more than 94% of the soft dermal filler market,
and given the rise and preference for non-invasive aesthetic procedures, is forecast a CAGR
growth of 6.58% from 2021 to 2028 USD —9.22 billion by 2028 (VMR, 2021).

Supported by both didactic lectures and training lessons with live patient models, the program
