Skin Deep Anatomy: training doctors

Last week the 6th edition of Skin Deep Anatomy took place in the Skillslab of the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam! This makes the Van Rosmalen Clinic, for the 6th year in a row, the only clinic in the Netherlands that provides this hands-on injectable training on cadavers to other (cosmetic) doctors in a unique way. The anatomy of each face is unique and therefore each treatment plan is also different for each person. Through our years of experience, we know exactly how and where to place a filler for the safest, most beautiful and long-lasting results! It is therefore very interesting for other specialists to be trained by our doctors.

What is Skin Deep Anatomy? 

Skin Deep Anatomy is organized by doctor Annemarie van Rosmalen, together with our other doctors of the Van Rosmalen Kliniek, to bring the anatomical knowledge to a higher level. But of course also to make injectable treatments even safer and achieve the best results for our clients. It is a unique practical training for all kinds of colleagues in the Netherlands who want to further their skills in cosmetic medicine and to be able to test practical knowledge on cadavers. Thus, this edition we had 15 trainees with all different medical backgrounds. The common thread of the Skin Deep Anatomy course consists of facial anatomy combined with technique and is based on scientific insights and years of experience of certified cosmetic doctors KNMG and dermatologists.

Everything for the best and most long-lasting results 

The goal of cosmetic treatments is to achieve natural and long-lasting results. To maintain your authenticity, it is hugely important for doctors to look at the facial facial mimicry and dynamics. Therefore, during hands-on training in the Skillslab, daily treatments are practiced, showing us exactly how best to address, for example, a tighter jawlinesunken cheeks or filling tear ducts. This is enormously interesting for doctors to improve their knowledge and skills regarding facial anatomy. Colored fillers are used in the training. By freely preparing the face after the filler treatment, we can see exactly where and in which depth layers we placed the filler. By combining theory and hands-on training, we raise each other’s level to achieve the best results for our clients!

Collaboration with other specialists 

In this edition, training was given by Docter Peter Velthuis on the use of ultrasound in cosmetic treatments. Our own Docter Michèle is also a trainer at Cutaneous. This is a special ultrasound training given by Peter Velthuis. The ultrasound is used at our clinic to determine the correct amount and depth during some treatments, as well as to locate blood vessels, nerves and permanent or temporary fillers. This allows for safe and better treatment. Docter Duco van den Broecke as guest speaker this edition paid attention to connective tissue plates in the face, ligaments (connective tissue bands), and dissection methods. This knowledge could immediately be applied during the practical part of the training day. We would like to thank Doctor Peter Velthuis and Doctor Duco van den Broecke once again for their expertise and contribution during this instructive day!
