Advanced dermal filler course overview
Our Dermal Fillers Level 2: HA + Radiesse® Masterclass is designed for delegates who have completed our Dermal Fillers Level 1 or equivalent training and are ready to advance their dermal filler skills.
Over two intensive days, you’ll explore full-face treatment planning and advanced injectable techniques across the mid and lower face, including the lips, tear troughs, cheeks, chin and jawline. Building on Professor Khanna’s Profiloplasty and Facial Harmony concepts, you’ll learn to assess the face as a whole and develop treatment strategies based on individual anatomy, proportions and aesthetic goals.
A key focus of the masterclass is understanding HA versus Radiesse® with CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite), and importantly, where, when and why different injectable materials may be selected.
The course combines advanced theory with hands-on practical training, including the use of both sharp needles and modern cannula systems, giving you the opportunity to develop your technique under expert supervision.
By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to deliver advanced dermal filler treatments safely, effectively, and with aesthetic finesse across the full face.

Therefore, the continuous learning format is often preferred as it ensures a seamless progression, helping you build a strong foundation without any interruptions in your education.
If you do not wish to complete the entire module, you do not have to. You are welcome to undertake any course within the module.
What time do the courses run?
Our courses are available on various dates and run from approximately 9:30-5pm.

Who can attend these courses?
We pride ourselves on being leaders in the aesthetic industry and strive to always promote patient safety above anything else. For various reasons, our courses are strictly for medical professionals only. To attend our courses you must be a registered doctor, dentist, medical nurse, midwife, or prescribing pharmacist. We believe that it is only at this level of education that you have a real solid knowledge and understanding of the facial anatomy, and as such, would be capable delivering safe results and dealing with any potential complications, where a non-medical professional might not (i.e. beauticians).
There are a few instances (for example, with dental therapists), where non-prescribers are able to attend so long as they are accompanied by a prescriber. Please enquire for more information if you are a dental therapist.
Am I able to book multiple courses?
You can absolutely book all the courses together, and in fact, this is the approach most delegates choose!

Why should I choose Dr Bob Khanna for my Facial Aesthetics Training?
Aside from being the longest-running Facial Aesthetics Training Institute in the UK, we are also the first Medical Aesthetics Training Institute in the UK to be approved by the Royal Society for Public Health.
We also take an extra layer of safety and use Ultrasound Verification on our courses where necessary, so you can rest assured that you are performing safe treatment. This is particularly beneficial to those who are completely new to aesthetics and are not yet confident with injecting.
As well as this, Prof Bob Khanna’s level of clinical experience is extensive and he is one of the very few dental surgeons in the UK to obtain his QCCP qualifications (Qualification Council for Cosmetic Procedures). He has earned a great deal of respect amongst his peers worldwide for his knowledge and lecturing skills. You can learn more about Prob Bob here.
Places on our courses are in high demand and we are very proud that many delegates who attend are introduced to our training institute through personal recommendation.
If I need help after I have completed the course, will I be able to contact you?
Yes. We encourage all of our delegates to maintain an open line of communication and our team are on-hand to support you anytime.
We are also able to offer all of our delegates a dedicated 24 hour online support service with many added benefits. Full details on the support service can be found here.
How do I know which course/module I should be booking?
Our team will advise you on the most suitable courses for your experience/skill level, but as a guide:
If you have a foundation level qualification in BTX and/or dermal filler but lack the confidence to carry out BTX and/or dermal filler treatments, you may choose to start from our Module 1 courses.
If you already confidently offer these treatments, then you could start with our Module 2 courses to expand upon your current dermal filler and BTX skills to offer more advanced treatments. Once you have completed at least both days of our Dermal Filler Level 3 course, you can then attend our Module 3 Thread lift days.
Our Polynucleotides course days can be attended by any medical professional regardless of whether they have previous facial aesthetics training or not and are suited to individuals who wish to expand their treatment menu to include injectable skin rejuvenation, PRP and injectable serums for anti-hair loss. We also offer other courses you can complete to increase your confidence and expertise, such as the complications masterclass.
