What is FAT ...

Utilising AADFA's innovative, practical blended learning format,  FAT is AADFA's  progressive, world-leading program, designed to specifically cater to one of the most sought after treatments and combat one of the most problematic health and aesthetic issues – facial fat deposits.


This highly specialised program, provides extensive mentoring and support to ensure you achieve mastery in some of the most progressive techniques in the field of Dento-facial rejuvenation; developing clinical competency and a safe, effective & successful practice. 


Combining hours of vital online theoretical learning with robust "hands-on" practical training, FAT focuses on the administration of the latest fat dissolving injections (e.g. BELKYRA & PCDC) and various other technologies, including Cryotherapy (fat cell freezing ); Focused Ultrasound and Radiofrequency (fat cell melting); CARBOXYTHERAPY, to treat facial fat deposits, like double-chins and jowls, as well as under eye fat bags and midface fat compartments.


Following online learning, theoretical assessment and teleconferencing sessions with the amazing AADFA Trainer Team, participants choose to attend either a scheduled regular group practical training session or to upgrade to a premium, private practical training session in their own clinic.

Includes:


  • Full detailed clinical videos, training manuals, textbooks & research papers.


  • Extensive pre & post-training mentoring & support

What is FAT about ...

Deterioration and changes in subcutaneous fat compartments and excessive localised facial fat deposits, commonly present as unsightly and disproportionate facial contours/bulges in the under-eye region, cheeks, naso-labial region, jowls and the dreaded “double-chin” sub-mental region – significantly detracting from achieving optimal dento-facial health and aesthetics.


With more than 2/3 of people surveyed identifying a double chin, jowls and under-eye bags as being their three major facial concerns, it’s time for dental practitioners to include treatment options for these areas in their armamentarium.


FAT will teach you the process of fat gain and loss and the importance of lifestyle choices, in addition to the science, physiology, philosophy and relevant anatomy for facial fat reduction procedures. Safe and effective protocols will be discussed, along with how to avoid and manage potential contra-indications, complications & side effects. Insurance requirements will be addressed, as will the business of Facial Fat reduction – how to market, how to charge - from the unique dental business perspective.


In order to maximise practical learning, participants arrange their own patients to attend practical training & complete practical assessment.  This approach allows participants to actively review and follow-up the treated patients, which is invaluable for learning - it is of no educational value if patients are provided for you and you never see them again!

Detailed guidance is provided on appropriate patient selection and the AADFA team will ensure proper informed consent is obtained prior to practical training.


Participants in AADFA programs will be required to pass both theoretical and practical assessments in order to gain certification.  If sufficient competency is not achieved to attain certification, AADFA will work with the practitioner to identify short-comings and develop skills to then RESIT the competency assessment at no additional fee.
