INTRODUCTION

This highly specialised cadaveric teaching course is led by Mr Dalvi Humzah who is an Anatomist and Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon. Having studied Advanced Human Anatomy, Developmental Anatomy and Neuro-Anatomy as part of his BSc (Hons). This independent teaching is delivered in a bespoke manner, in small groups to allow you the time and attention to focus on the specific anatomy of the hand, under the guidance of qualified tutors.” The majority of treatment procedures for the hand do not respect current or specific knowledge required to deliver a safe and high standard of aesthetic treatments to this area. Mr Humzah extensively lectures and teaches internationally on facial anatomy through practical dissection, and is involved in the research and development of a considerable number of injectable products.

Mr Dalvi Humzah has a wealth of anatomical as well as injectable experience and has been involved in performing non-surgical cosmetic procedures for over 28 years. The session comprises a blended analytic approach, critically discussing the current literature surrounding hand anatomy and ageing, combined with a practical component involving dissection of the hand pertinent to the non-surgical clinician. It has been designed to instil a safe approach to your non-surgical treatments of the hand, through facilitating a detailed and accurate awareness of the anatomy of the hand. You will have the unique opportunity to “Inject and Dissect” to allow you to ensure you are able to accurately place injectables in a safe plane and enhance your practice.
