title: Optimizing Injections of Poly-L-lactic Acid: The 6-Step Technique.
abstract: The authors present a reproducible and effective technique utilizing poly-L-lactic acid for panfacial revolumization. The variable dilution ratios, reconstitution times, injection techniques and rates of nodule formation with poly-L-lactic acid can be intimidating to even experienced injectors. While there is no single cookie-cutter approach to facial volumization, this 6-step "Precise Sculpt" technique can be used as a template to reliably achieve optimal results while minimizing the risk of adverse events. J Drugs Dermatol. 2016;15(12):1550-1556.
