Skin Remodeling for Optimal Surgical Results Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 2:00-3:30 p.m. CDT
With the rapid expansion of technologies for facial remodeling—including energy-based devices, injectable agents, and minimally invasive tools—plastic surgeons are faced with a growing array of choices for addressing facial aging, contour deficiencies, and skin quality. This session will provide a comparative review of available technologies, from radiofrequency and ultrasound to microneedling and laser platforms, as well as emerging innovations. Faculty will discuss efficacy, safety profiles, patient selection, and integration into aesthetic workflows. Attendees will learn how to critically assess technologies based on clinical goals, practice needs, and evolving patient expectations.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
- Compare available technologies used in facial remodeling based on mechanisms of action, indications, and outcomes.
- Evaluate clinical and patient-specific factors to guide technology selection for nonsurgical and adjunctive facial procedures.
- Integrate selected technologies into comprehensive treatment plans that align with practice goals, patient safety, and long-term aesthetic outcomes.
