Indication: Sculptra® (injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA)) is indicated for use in people with healthy immune systems for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region, and other facial wrinkles.
Sculptra should not be used by people that are allergic to any ingredient of the product or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. Safety has not been established in patients who are pregnant, lactating, breastfeeding, or under 18 years of age. Sculptra has unique injection requirements and should only be used by a trained healthcare practitioner. Contour deficiencies should not be overcorrected because they are expected to gradually improve after treatment.
Sculptra should not be injected into the blood vessels as it may cause vascular occlusion, infarction or embolic phenomena. Use at the site of skin sores, cysts, pimples, rashes, hives or infection should be postponed until healing is complete. Sculptra should not be injected into the red area (vermillion) of the lip or in the peri-orbital area.
The most common side e ects after initial treatment include injection site swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, bleeding, itching and lumps. Other side e ects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration, have also been reported.
Sculptra is available only through a licensed practitioner. Complete Instructions for Use are available at www.SculptraUSA.com/IFU.

If we look back over time, we can see that many of the greatest teachers for modern day aesthetic medical practitioners are world famous artists such as Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodan. Artists that have inspired our approach to aesthetics, defined our ideal of beauty, and influenced our quest for perfection as we strive to create natural, harmonious and balanced results for our patients.
This Summer, the LA-MCA brings Artistry In Aesthetics to San Antonio, TX – an intensive three day aesthetic meeting that offers you the opportunity to study with the current day Masters of Aesthetics. The academic focus of this CME accredited course is to go beyond our signature LA-MCA meeting with more up-close learning and hands-on skill building workshops that will explore the depths of aesthetic training, didactic sessions that allows participants more interaction with speakers, and great networking and interaction with industry professionals and colleagues. It also offers you the opportunity to learn in small group settings with the LA-MCA Master or Masters of your choice.
This exciting weekend will take place in the beautiful Pearl District of San Antonio, TX at the Hotel Emma which is one of only a handful of diamond resorts in Texas. Artistry in Aesthetics will be an inspiring, thought provoking and educational weekend. LA-MCA Meetings always sell out fast and we encourage early registration.
