A new educational experience is set to bring advanced facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine together this November, offering registered nurses and medical professionals the opportunity to explore the anatomical principles behind safe and effective injectable practice.
The Anatomy and Injection Experience, delivered by the British Association of Medical Aesthetic Nurses (BAMAN) in collaboration with Cotofana Anatomy, will take place on 21 and 22 November at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Led by internationally recognised facial anatomy expert Professor Sebastian Cotofana, the programme has been designed to give aesthetic practitioners an immersive opportunity to strengthen their understanding of facial anatomy and apply this knowledge directly to clinical practice.
For professionals working in medical aesthetics, the programme focuses on an area that remains fundamental to treatment safety and outcomes: understanding what lies beneath the skin and how this knowledge should inform injection technique and clinical decision-making.

While product knowledge and injection techniques are an important part of aesthetic medicine, a detailed understanding of facial anatomy is essential when assessing patients and planning injectable treatments.
The BAMAN and Cotofana Anatomy programme aims to bridge the gap between theoretical anatomical knowledge and its practical application in aesthetic medicine.
The two-day experience will explore the relationship between facial structures and injectable treatments, helping delegates develop a deeper understanding of the anatomy that underpins treatment planning, injection safety and complication prevention.
The programme is open to registered nurses and medical professionals working within the aesthetics sector, with delegates able to attend the first day independently or choose the full two-day experience.
The first day will feature a large-scale live anatomy auditorium experience, combining live-streamed cadaveric dissection with real-time injection demonstrations.
This format is designed to allow delegates to visualise the anatomical structures beneath the skin while considering how they relate to injectable procedures.
Professor Cotofana and an international faculty will explore topics including:
All Day One delegates will also receive one month's complimentary access to Professor Cotofana's online educational platform, valued at $599.
Practitioners looking to take their anatomical education further can upgrade to the full two-day programme, which includes an advanced cadaver masterclass on 22 November.
The hands-on experience will be led by Professor Cotofana and expert faculty, with delegates working in small teaching groups designed to encourage closer interaction and anatomical exploration.
The masterclass will include:
Full programme delegates will also receive a copy of Professor Cotofana's Manual for Facial Anatomy Courses, providing an additional reference resource to support continued professional development.
An exclusive Faculty Dinner in Edinburgh will also provide delegates with the opportunity to network informally with Professor Cotofana and visiting faculty.
For aesthetic practitioners, continued professional development in facial anatomy can play an important role in supporting safer clinical practice.
As the aesthetic sector continues to evolve, practitioners are increasingly expected to understand not only how to perform injectable treatments, but also the anatomical considerations that underpin patient assessment, treatment planning and risk management.
The programme's emphasis on anatomy, vascular structures, danger zones and complication management reflects the importance of maintaining a strong anatomical foundation throughout an aesthetic practitioner's career.
Gareth Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of BAMAN, said:
"Professor Cotofana has become one of the most respected anatomy educators in the world, and his influence on how practitioners understand anatomy, patient safety and treatment outcomes has been enormous. To be able to partner with him and host this programme at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is a fantastic opportunity for BAMAN and for the wider medical aesthetics community."
He added:
"We know there is a growing demand amongst medical professionals for high-quality, independent education that goes beyond product training and focuses on the science and anatomy that underpin safe practice. That is exactly what this programme offers."
The Anatomy and Injection Experience is open to registered nurses and medical professionals working within aesthetic medicine. Attendance is not limited to BAMAN members, and delegates can choose between attending the auditorium experience on Day One or taking part in the complete two-day programme with the advanced cadaver masterclass.
With a focus on applied anatomy, injection safety and clinical decision-making, the event offers practitioners an opportunity to deepen their knowledge in a specialist educational environment.
For those looking to strengthen their anatomical understanding and explore how it can be applied to aesthetic practice, the programme provides an opportunity to learn directly from Professor Sebastian Cotofana and an experienced international faculty.
