Adverse Events & Complications
Experts in aesthetics like Meredith Keller, BSN, MSN, FNP-C and Dr. Jay Burns, MD will guide you through the most common and clinically significant complications associated with injectables, neuromodulators, and laser or energy-based treatments. This course is designed to strengthen clinical confidence and ensure every provider can respond effectively when adverse events occur.

You’ll learn how to identify expected post-treatment reactions, distinguish them from concerning complications, and follow proper escalation protocols. If you're looking to expand your understanding of specific technologies or techniques, you’ll find related E-courses in the description for deeper continuing education.

Why Adverse Event Training Matters
Complications can happen even when proper technique, preparation, and product selection are in place. The most successful providers are those who remain informed, prepared, and confident in their response. Understanding how to recognize adverse events early—and follow the correct prevention and management steps—helps protect patient safety, improve outcomes, and strengthen trust in your practice. Mastering complication management also supports clinic-wide safety standards, meaningful patient education, and strong provider–medical director collaboration.
