Facial Anatomy Online Course

The Facial Anatomy course is a specialized training program focused on precise understanding of anatomical structures essential in cosmetology, manual therapies, and aesthetic procedures performed in the facial area. The curriculum emphasizes the relationships between soft tissues, the skeletal system, vascular structures, and the nervous system, and how these interactions influence facial features, tissue biomechanics, and structural responses during professional treatments.

The scope of the course includes macroscopic facial anatomy and key elements of skin histology, with particular emphasis on structures of direct practical relevance. The knowledge provided enables informed facial analysis, accurate assessment of skin changes, and a clear understanding of tissue responses to manual and procedure-based stimuli.
