Module Aims
The module aim is to examine the sciences that underpin cosmetic medicine and the external professional and ethical issues that influence practice, recognising and addressing potential conflict areas.
Content Summary
This module will cover the anatomy of the face – the skin, the muscles, the fat pads, the blood vessels, nerves and bones within the face. The physiology and physiological changes relating to these structures as we age will be explored. The relevant functions of the important structures in the face will be discussed as they are related to facial ageing, particularly with regard to the changing functions of the anatomical structures with the ageing process. Assessment of the face will be explored, and treatment plans for patients will be introduced as a concept for treating the face, whilst bearing in mind the ethics of treating patients for financial gain depending on the treatments performed. Some of the medicolegal aspects of care will be covered, including the need to be aware of standards of care, consent and documentation.
This module includes mandatory formative assessment activities, to support students learning and development prior to summative assessment tasks.
