Dr. Heather Friedman loves to learn! Read about her recent experience learning anatomy on cadavers. Anatomy is super important when it comes to medical injectables because this is how we stay safe and ensure optimal outcomes.

I recently traveled to Amsterdam to learn The Fern Technique from its developer Dr. Tom Van Eijk. This technique uses hyaluronic acid dermal filler (Restylane) to address lines, wrinkles, and folds that occur from skin weakness. As we mature, our skin weakens from damage caused by the sun, sleep, and habitual movements. When filler is placed superficially in the skin in a fern pattern, we strengthen the weakened skin and soften associated lines and wrinkles.

For those of us investing in treatments like Botox, microneedling, and other injectables, having an intentional skincare routine with quality products will preserve and protect your investment. Learn how to integrate a comprehensive skincare routine to enhance outcomes.

On average, I perform about 20 neuromodulator treatments per week, with three years of injecting experience and I use Botox Cosmetic 99% of the time (Dysport 1%).
