Program Description

Join us on Thursday, November 10th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM for this educational program.

The development of more minimally invasive products and procedures has given physicians multiple options from which to choose to help patients achieve a rejuvenated appearance. Positive patient outcomes are highly dependent on physician skill as well as a thorough understanding of anatomy and product characteristics. The improvement in facial suspension suture technology has led to the development of more refined devices and successful outcomes calls for appropriate training. This course will review facial aging and anatomy and demonstrate the role that suspension sutures have in facial rejuvenation.  In addition, the faculty will discuss how all options; injectables, energy-based technology and suspension sutures can work together to produce optimal outcomes for patients. 

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Perform an aesthetic analysis of the face which will identify potential facial rejuvenation strategies that can enhance appearance in accordance with the patient’s individual treatment goals.
• Identify minimally invasive suture options that can be used alone or in combination with facial injectables  and/or skin tightening technology that have demonstrated safe and satisfactory patient outcomes for facial enhancement and/or rejuvenation.
• Implement strategies to minimize and manage adverse events of facial rejuvenation techniques including bruising, infection, lumps and swelling.
