Biostimulation (Sculptra) Course

Duration :1 day
Time :10;00 To 17:00

? Learners must have (or be working toward) appropriate medical malpractice/treatment insurance to practise.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
? Understand the science of collagen biostimulation and how poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) works within the skin.
? Identify suitable candidates and recognise contraindications for biostimulator treatments.
? Demonstrate thorough knowledge of facial anatomy relevant to safe injection technique.
? Carry out a full client consultation, facial assessment, and informed consent process.
? Safely reconstitute and administer Sculptra using correct dilution and injection protocols.
? Manage client expectations regarding gradual results and treatment timelines.
? Recognise and manage potential complications, including nodules and granulomas.
