This CME activity is based on transcripts and slides of presentations as delivered by the faculty at the "The Aging Face: More Than Skin Deep" symposium held at the Hilton New York Hotel in New York, New York on July 28, 2004.

Editor's Note: When this symposium was held, the approval of poly-L-lactic acid was still pending with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) now has been approved by the FDA for the "restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus."

Dermik Aesthetics is a new group within Dermik Laboratories.
