Learn botulinum toxin and dermal filler injection the Korean way — hands-on on real patients, under the direct supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon. English-language 1:1 or small-group training in Busan and Seoul. No Korean license required.
Who this course is for
Yes. OLA Korea trains licensed international clinicians in botulinum toxin and dermal filler injection without requiring a Korean license. You practice on real patients under direct faculty supervision, using the license you already hold at home.
Physicians & Surgeons
MD / DO
Build a structured injection foundation grounded in facial anatomy and Korean dosing logic, whether you are adding injectables to an established practice or formalizing self-taught technique.
Advanced Practice Injectors
NP, PA, RN Injector
Refine toxin and filler technique on live patients and learn the safety-first sequencing Korean clinics rely on. RN participants train within an injector-certified scope.
Dentists & Oral Surgeons
Perioral & Lower-Face
Extend your perioral and lower-face repertoire with toxin and filler technique built for facial harmony, taught alongside danger-zone anatomy and complication management.
Eligibility: valid home-country license — MD, DO, NP, PA, RN with injector certification, dentist, oral surgeon, or equivalent. No Korean license required. Hands-on eligibility verified before confirmation.
What you'll learn
The core module covers botulinum toxin and dermal filler injection through the lens of Korean injection logic. You work through facial anatomy, product handling, injection safety, and complication management — then apply each on real patients under direct faculty supervision.
01
Map muscles, fat compartments, and vascular danger zones so every toxin and filler placement is planned around the anatomy, not around a fixed template.
02
Learn dosing logic, injection points, and depth control for a natural, balanced result — the restrained toxin approach that defines the Korean look.
03
Practise volumizing and contouring with needle and cannula, choosing plane and product for each region to restore structure without over-filling.
04
Understand how Korean clinics reason about the full toxin and filler product landscape — reconstitution, storage, and handling — so you make sound product decisions in your own practice.
05
Recognize, prevent, and manage the complications that matter most — vascular occlusion, bruising, asymmetry, and product-related events — with a clear escalation plan. Once your foundation is solid, extend into related modules: PDO Thread Lifting & Multi-Modality Injection, and Advanced & Individualized Combination Aesthetics.

01 — Hands-on
Many injection courses stop at cadaver or mannequin work. At OLA you inject botulinum toxin and filler on real patients under a surgeon's direct supervision.
02 — Faculty
Your instruction is led by a board-certified Korean plastic surgeon — not a general practitioner — with deep anatomical and complication-management expertise.
03 — Logic
OLA teaches the clinical logic behind Korean injection — the why behind each dose, plane, and product choice — not just a set of trend-driven recipes.
04 — Language
Sessions run in English with real-time translation app support for clinical terminology. Bring your own interpreter if you prefer — you are welcome to.
05 — Location
Train in the focused premium environment of our Busan flagship at Song Jennifer Plastic Surgery, or at partner clinics in Seoul.

FAQ
No Korean medical license is required. You train under the direct supervision of OLA Korea's board-certified faculty using a valid license from your home country — MD or DO, NP, PA, or RN with injector certification, dentist, or oral surgeon. Eligibility is verified before your dates are confirmed.
It is hands-on. The Foundations of Injection Techniques module is performed on real patients under direct faculty supervision — not observation-only. You inject botulinum toxin and dermal filler yourself while a board-certified plastic surgeon guides technique, depth, and safety in real time.
The core module can be completed as a focused one-day session, and multiple modules can be combined across several days. Your exact schedule depends on the format you choose and how many related modules — such as PDO thread lifting — you add.
Yes. Sessions are conducted in English, and a real-time translation app supports clinical terminology during hands-on work. You are also welcome to bring your own interpreter.
OLA Korea issues a Certificate of Completion documenting your attendance and clinical scope; it does not replace your local license or board certification. After acceptance, we provide invitation-related documents to support C-3-4 or Medical Visit visa applications, though final approval rests with the relevant embassy.
