Fachärztin für plastische und ästhetische Chirurgie
Als Fachärztin für plastische und ästhetische Chirurgie hat sich Gordana Kozina der Verschönerung und funktionalen Herstellung des menschlichen Körpers verschrieben.
Gordana Kozina, specialist physician for plastic and aesthetic surgery at artethic®, has recently become an official international Galderma trainer. She trains physicians in injection techniques with hyaluronic acid, biostimulators and neuromodulators such as botulinum toxin. The focus is on the effect of individual substances in the tissue, individual anatomy, and natural as well as long-lasting results.
Technique is what matters
You might think: injection techniques are similar, only the results and products differ. In fact, the injection itself plays one of the biggest roles when it comes to the effectiveness of fillers, botulinum and biostimulators. Technique has a decisive influence on the result. And it is closely tied to specialist medical experience and a sound knowledge of tissue types and layers.
Gordana Kozina brings both. She is one of the physicians in the international Galderma GAIN programme who actively shares her knowledge with colleagues. What counts above all is practical application. It is about reactions in the tissue and about:
- which tissue layer is being worked in
- which particular anatomical structure is being addressed
- which product, technique and dosage is used
Even the smallest differences can significantly change the result.
We do not view injections in isolation. They influence structures and can shape the entire face. Knowing where a substance is placed and what it does there is the foundation for natural results.
What is taught in the workshop
The Galderma workshops are an established continuing education format.
Participants learn how tissue changes in individual layers and how differently reactions can turn out. How certain hyaluronic acids work. And why a certain area appears lifted or another heavier.
A practical example
The same substance can either support or weigh down depending on the depth.
This effect determines whether a face looks fresher and more youthful or rather unsettled. We see such differences every day.
Hands-on work with patients is key
Work takes place in small groups. With real treatments directly on patients or models and with immediate feedback from Gordana Kozina. Topics include:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers
- Biostimulators such as Sculptra
- Neuromodulators such as botulinum toxin
- Effects such as Bright Eyes, Shape Up, Kiss & Smile or Glow On
- Long-term results
The courses are divided into several levels, from Basic to Professional. This means the programme is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Specialist medical training as a foundation
Gordana Kozina is a specialist physician for plastic and aesthetic surgery.
She brings one of the most comprehensive surgical training backgrounds, years of experience and a deep understanding of working with different tissue types.
Specialist knowledge also plays an enormous role in injections. With every treatment we intervene in existing structures: blood vessels, fatty and connective tissue or the mimetic musculature. Only those who understand these can treat effectively and achieve consistently good long-term results.
Why we work exclusively with specialist physicians at artethic®
At artethic® only specialist physicians for plastic and aesthetic surgery treat patients. This applies not only to surgical procedures but also to minimally invasive treatments such as hyaluronic acid, skinboosters, autologous fat, liquid lifting or stimulating procedures such as Sculptra. It is important to us that our patients can rely on a high level of expertise. And that risks are carefully assessed.
The benefit for our patients
True expertise in aesthetic medicine shows in the result: through natural proportions and harmonious changes. Combined treatments and regular touch-ups are often beneficial for this.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Galderma GAIN programme?
The Galderma GAIN programme is an international training programme for physicians. Certified trainers teach injection techniques with hyaluronic acid, biostimulators and neuromodulators such as botulinum toxin. The focus is on practical application in small groups directly with patients.
Why is injection technique so important?
Technique has a decisive influence on results – even the smallest differences in tissue layer, anatomical structure and dosage can have visible effects. The same substance can either support or weigh down depending on the depth of injection. That is why training focuses specifically on combining tissue knowledge with practical experience.
Which treatments at artethic® are performed by specialist physicians?
At artethic®, all treatments are performed exclusively by specialist physicians for plastic and aesthetic surgery – both surgical procedures and minimally invasive treatments such as hyaluronic acid, skinboosters, autologous fat, liquid lifting, and stimulating treatments such as Sculptra.

The workshops are aimed at specialist physician colleagues – both beginners and experienced practitioners. The courses are divided into several levels from Basic to Professional. The focus is always on practical work in small groups with direct feedback.
How does the training benefit patient care?
True expertise in aesthetic medicine shows in the result: through natural proportions and harmonious changes. Our physicians' comprehensive further training directly benefits our patients – through more precise techniques, deep tissue understanding and a refined sense for individual anatomy.
