Injectable Poly-L-Lactic Acid: Understanding Its Use in the Current Era.
A survey of Sculptra®Aesthetic injectors was conducted to understand how the product is being currently reconstituted and injected. Questions were asked of injectors to understand their reasons for choice and volume of diluent(s), additions, and time for the reconstitution process. These results are discussed in the context of the past history of the product over the last decade, with a focus on adverse events such as papules and nodules. <br /><br /> <em>J Drugs Dermatol. </em>2016;15(6):759-762.
