I’m using a small amount of Sculptra as a skin enhancer - placed superficially, Sculptra can stimulate collagen exactly where the skin has become thin and wrinkled. We’re not adding any volume - we’re creating stronger, healthier skin with better texture and support over time.
This is where understanding anatomy, tissue planes, and patient selection really matters. Sculptra isn’t just a volumizer—it’s a tool. And when you know how to use it differently, it opens up a whole new category of treatment.
A closer look at one of my safety techniques.
Before injecting near the facial artery, I tap the needle down to bone, hold it completely steady with my non-injecting hand, and aspirate. If blood enters the syringe, I know I’m in a vessel and reposition before injecting.
Aspiration, when performed correctly, is one of the many layers of safety I use when treating higher-risk anatomy.

We have 2 spots left for this Sculptra course! If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign to just do it.
A lot of you have told me you’ve taken a Sculptra training before but still don’t feel confident actually using it in practice. That’s exactly why I keep this course small—I want to be able to work with you while you’re injecting, correct your technique, and help it finally click.
Sculptra is one of the most requested treatments right now, especially with patients wanting more natural, collagen-stimulating results. You should feel comfortable offering it. This is a half-day, very focused training. No fluff, no sitting in the back of a big room watching. You’ll be hands-on, and you’ll leave knowing how to actually use this in your treatment plans.
Saturday, June 6th
9AM–1PM
Guilford, CT
You’ll need to bring your own model. Sculptra is done as a series of three treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart, so this should be someone you can continue treating after the course.

👋 Hey guys, it's Kati. If you’ve taken a Sculptra course and still don’t feel confident offering it - this one's for you. At a certain point, it’s not about needing more information—it’s about needing the right kind of training.
Sculptra is one of the most in-demand treatments right now, and patients are actively asking for more natural, collagen-stimulating options. If you don’t feel comfortable using it, you’re leaving a big gap in your practice. This course is designed to fix that.
We keep it small so I can actually work with you while you’re injecting, correct your technique, and help you understand exactly how to approach each patient.

There are multiple ways to anesthetize your patient. Using lidocaine with epinephrine, we create a small bleb for the cannula. Push the skin onto the needle with the left hand. Slow injection is key: If you inject lidocaine too quickly, it will burn.
