2026 Hands-On: Cosmetics

Join us this fall at the AAD’s popular Hands-On: Cosmetics course happening October 24-25, 2026 at the Palmer House, Chicago!

Hands-On: Cosmetics is an immersive, 2-day course designed to expand upon the popular workshop offered at the Annual Meeting. Nationally recognized expert faculty provide hands-on instruction in foundational injection techniques, and attendees will practice in real time on cutaneous procedural head models. The course emphasizes anatomy as it relates to neuromodulators and dermal fillers, while integrating key principles of patient assessment, facial analysis, and treatment planning. Attendees will learn practical approaches to product selection, injection methods, and strategies to minimize and manage adverse events. Upon completion, participants will be equipped to evaluate the benefits and risks of commonly performed cosmetic procedures based on individual patient presentation, and to safely and effectively perform botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections.
