Below you will find information about our Special Sessions taking place at Music City Scale 2025.
Separate Registration is Required for these sessions
Facial Anatomy Workshop With Ultrasound Guided Facial Anatomy Techniques
Wednesday, May 14, 2025 | 9:00 AM – 4:45 PM / Reception: 4:45 PM- 5:30 PM
Registration Fee – $899 before 12/31/24 or $999 after 1/1/25
About the Course:
The course consists of four 90-minute modules focusing on toxins, upper face, middle face and lower face. Each module will include a detailed explanation of the anatomy, as seen in the cadaver, which is compared in real time to an injection in the correlating area on a live model also coupled with the use of ultrasound technology to teach enhanced safety and patient outcomes. Viewing the anatomy with the use of ultrasound and the injection technique side-by-side is a unique and impactful learning tool to enhance your understanding of safety zones and improve patient outcomes.

Faculty
Patrick J. Clark, PhD, CMLSO
Devices 101 continues LIVE in 2024 with Dr. Patrick Clark, an energy based device and physics guru who has been part of Music City SCALE since the beginning, teaching lasers and light sources in such an amazing way that we all look forward to hearing from Pat each and every year.
Pat was an undergraduate at Baylor University in Waco, TX and took his postgraduate work at Texas State Technical College in Waco, before receiving his PhD from the Swansea University, Wales. For over three decades, he has served in various capacities related to lasers: Laser Safety Officer and Program Director at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, Chapel Hill, NC; University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, TX; and Program Administrator of a minimally invasive abdominal endoscopic laser training program at Grandview Surgery Center, Camp Hill, PA.
He has served as Managing Partner and Technology Officer (EpiCentre) and Vice- President of Physician Education and Privileging and Technology Development Officer for a group of 623 physicians over 38 states (Medical Alliance, Inc.). He also participates in the development of energy-based applications as consultant, educator, and development board member for Candela, Cutera, Cynosure, Palomar, LaserScope, DEKA, Sciton, Coherent, Sensus, ASA, and ICN Pharmaceuticals. His academic contributions include 23 clinical papers, The Technical Guide to Medical Lasers and Safety, and 543 domestic and international speaking engagements.
He is a founding member of the Board of Laser Safety’s Certified Medical Laser Safety Officer program (CMLSO). He often advises institutions on the available devices and techniques that would be appropriate for the patient/client needs.
Pat is a rock star and we encourage you to take Lasers 101 and learn all that you can about all of the energy based devices in our space.
