Sculptra: Biostimulation Using Poly-L-Lactic Acid
Join two of aesthetic medicine’s most trusted educators—Dr. Gideon Kwok, DO and Lori Robertson, MSN, FNP-C—for this powerful, on-demand masterclass designed to help you confidently integrate Sculptra treatments into your practice with precision and care.
📌Welcome to the next evolution in aesthetic medicine! As the industry shifts towards bio-stimulation and bio-rejuvenation, Sculptra, using Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), stands out as a beloved and increasingly popularized treatment. For years, practitioners knew it worked and saw remarkable results like glowing, younger-looking skin, but the exact "why" remained a puzzle. Now, with new research and insights into gene expressions, we can finally understand the science behind the stunning transformations.

Overview

📢 We will cover:
The Science of PLLA: Become familiar with the composition of Poly-L-Lactic Acid—a biodegradable and biocompatible synthetic substance made from plant sugars, not plastic. Understand its mechanism of action as a general collagen stimulator that incites an immune response, leading to dermal thickening.
Understanding Aging & PLLA's Role: Gain awareness of facial aging, including bone and soft tissue loss, and precisely where PLLA fits into this process by stimulating collagen, elastin, and potentially fat production. Learn how it works to "shrink wrap" the skin, providing density and a youthful glow.
New Gene Expression Research: Dive into the latest research showing how Sculptra upregulates gene expressions related to elastin, skin pigmentation, and antioxidants, aiding in tissue regeneration through natural biological mechanisms. Understand the critical role of elastin in skin flexibility and integrity.
Predictive Treatment & Injection Pearls: Learn to predict tissue growth, determine product needs based on patient age and existing volume. Master reconstitution protocols for various areas, proper injection depths (subdermal and supraperiosteal), avoiding muscles and glands, and the crucial practice of always aspirating.
Patient Education & Expectation Management: Understand why Sculptra is a bio-stimulator, not a dermal filler, and how to set realistic expectations for patients regarding results that take time to appear – "like watching grass grow". Learn the vital importance of the "2-2-2" massage aftercare.
Safety & Adverse Events: Prioritize patient safety by knowing potential adverse events, how to avoid them through proper injection techniques and patient selection, and how to manage them if they occur.
