Benefit from a dual training experience and learn the cosmetic applications of Kybella, a formulation of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that works to contour and improve the appearance of the “double chin” by reducing moderate to severe fat on the upper neck. Our Kybella hands-on training covers how to safely administer Kybella, the anatomy of the submental region, patient selection and comfort, what to consider post-treatment, and even how to customize the treatment to your patients’ individual needs and desires. In addition to a hands-on practice session, participants will benefit from lecture discussion and take-home manuals on Kybella® safety, side effects, contraindications, patient selection, treatment protocols and mapping, pre and post treatment considerations.

This 1-day hands-on workshop features training on Absorbable PDO (Polydiaxanone) threads, an innovative, minimally invasive & effective technique to achieve, safe in-office tightening and repositioning of the skin. PDO threads are placed in the superficial tissues to lift and tighten sagging skin tissue. The procedure requires no surgical skills and delivers great results with virtually no complications. In the morning, comprehensive lectures will include history, chemical and biological properties, biodegradation, indications for use, contraindications, complications and side effects, prevention and management of complications. This hands-on workshop will teach participants various basic and advanced techniques using PDO threads. Working in pairs, each participant will learn how to perform a non-surgical “face-lift” using PDO threads. Each participant will be taught how to insert smooth PDO threads in a crosshatch or basket-weave pattern for lifting and filling the wrinkles of the upper lip. This is useful for the treatment of smokers’ lines and for emphasizing the vermillion border of the lips. Each participant will learn a foolproof method to reposition skin in order to accentuate the cheeks, diminish the jowls, and tighten the jawline. Participants will benefit from a one-on-one clinical experience supervised by our expert instructor. In addition, participants will observe various cases to fully understand how to treatment plan patients for the PDO treatment. A PDO vendor will also be on site to discuss marketing strategies and inventory protocols. Each attendee will receive a complete lecture slides manual and practice documents such as consent form, model guidelines, and protocol policies and purchasing sources.

Poly-L-Lactic (PLLA) is once again emerging as the “must have” treatment in every provider’s aesthetic tool box. Ideal for whole face volume loss, PLLA such as Sculptra has a liquid consistency and, differing from gel-like dermal fillers, works deep within the skin to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive approach to PLLA, including how to properly treatment plan and use the safest techniques to provide full face rejuvenation.
