DAY ONE: The Use of Botulinum Toxin for Aesthetic Enhancement

Upon completion of the module, the participant will:

• Understand the incidence, prevalence, etiology, pathology, and clinical presentation of venous disease
• Demonstrate of working knowledge of venous anatomy including: the Anterior Tibial, Posterior Tibial, Peroneal, Popliteal. Femoral, Common Femoral, Perforators, Greater Saphenous, Short Saphenous, reticular and spider veins
• Conduct an aesthetic consultation with patients desiring treatment of venous disease including patient education regarding the progressive and chronic nature of venous disease, to establish reasonable patient expectations for treatment
• Demonstrate the ability to perform a medical history and physical examination to accurately predict the extent of venous disease
• Utilize diagnostic tools including cw doppler, transillumination, photoplethysmography, and duplex ultrasonography for diagnosing the extent of venous disease in individual patients

• Have a working knowledge of how to diagnose and treat the complications of sclerotherapy including deep venous thrombosis, superficial phlebitis, necrosis, intra-arterial injection, tissue necrosis, hemosiderin staining, and hyperpigmentation
• Participate in an interactive demonstration sessions with vascular experts delivering "best practice" standards in sclerotherapy
• Develop skill in performing sclerotherapy on live patients with specialists according to "best practice" standards including consultation, physical exam, diagnostic studies, diagnosis, patient education, and appropriate post procedural care
• Submit a case study to receive Level 4 CME through USF Department of Professional Development
