Cheek Augmentation
& Tear Trough
A one-day advanced filler course to restore and enhance the mid-face. Building on your beginner filler skills, you learn vector-based cheek augmentation with a cannula and a careful, considered approach to the tear trough — one of the most in-demand and most delicate areas in aesthetic practice.

The course focuses on the mid-face: the cheeks, the tear trough and the under-eye area, treated with hyaluronic acid fillers. It is taught by Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal and our clinical team, and is the second step in our dermal filler pathway, after Level 1 Beginners and before Jawline & Chin.

Further Information and FAQs
CPD Certification
Our course material is CPD Certified by The CPD Certification Service (Member No. 7006). CPD Certification confirms that the course material meets recognised CPD standards and guidelines. It does not confirm the competence of any learner completing the course; competence is assessed by PHP Training Academy against its own assessment criteria. Under the GMC, GDC, NMC and GPhC, CPD is self-directed and self-declared: your certificate gives you the evidence to record it. It is a record of training rather than a regulated qualification.
I trained with another provider. Can I join?
Yes, if you can show equivalent beginner filler training and experience. If you are unsure, contact us before booking and we will check.
Do you teach needle or cannula?
Cheek augmentation is taught with an advanced cannula technique, and the tear trough with a careful, conservative approach suited to that delicate area.
Will I treat a real patient?
Yes. Every delegate treats their own patients, and models are never shared between delegates. One-to-one tuition gives you more hands-on treatments.
Is SoMUK membership worth it for this course?
SoMUK members pay £640 instead of £800 for the group course, a saving of £160. Membership costs £150 a year, so this course alone covers it.
What should I take next?
Fillers Level 3 — Jawline & Chin is the next step, followed by the Lips and Rhinoplasty masterclasses.
