Cadaver Course in Aesthetic Medicine 2026

Behind every successful facial rejuvenation procedure lies a precise understanding of anatomy.

The International Hands-On Cadaver Course on Facial Rejuvenation offers an immersive educational experience focused on the anatomical and clinical principles that shape contemporary aesthetic practice. Delivered by a distinguished faculty of physicians and surgeons from Türkiye and Europe, the programme combines expert instruction with practical cadaver-based training to provide a deeper understanding of Endolift, Thread Lift, Dermal Fillers, Botulinum Toxin, and Mesotherapy.

Through focused scientific sessions and supervised laboratory training on fresh frozen cadaver specimens, participants will explore facial aging, tissue architecture, retaining ligaments, vascular anatomy, and treatment planning concepts that influence procedural decision-making and clinical outcomes.

Hosted at Acıbadem University CASE, the programme provides a unique environment where anatomical knowledge, technical precision, and clinical judgment come together to support safer and more predictable facial rejuvenation procedures.
