The academy
ARCA ZYGOMATICA is an educational academy focused on delivering intermediate to advanced training, conferences and seminars on a wide breadth of topics including facial anatomy and techniques in the management of facial aging.
Dr. Geneviève Blackburn and Dr. Andreas Nikolis combine two different but complementary approaches. The synergy between their approaches lead to a unique educational experience all focused on the goal, the safe and optimal treatment outcomes for you patients.
It is only by understanding the unique characteristics of each patient that we can provide balanced, optimal and natural results. The academy will provide the necessary tools to bridge these two concepts.
