Seminars
SCULPTRA® SEMINARS
Dr. Fréchette has performed thousands of successful Sculptra® procedures with outstanding results and he is regarded as the industry leader. Dr. Fréchette’s pioneering work with Sculptra® from 2001 until his testimony before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 24th, 2004 was critical for Sculptra®’s approval. After reviewing Dr. Frechette's photographic documentation presented during his testimony, the FDA unanimously approved Sculptra® for correcting facial wasting on August 3, 2004. Dr. Fréchette continues his dedication as the Principal Investigator for the long-term research study of Sculptra®.
In addition, Dr. Fréchette is a physician who regularly offers FREE open community forums and seminars on the use of Sculptra® to correct facial lipoatrophy. His Manhattan office advertises the seminars in local community publications for New York City while his Castro office advertises for San Francisco. Those who attend are able to view an actual live Sculptra® treatment with “front-row” access to both doctor and patient and are welcome to ask any questions they might have. New patients often find these seminars to be particularly beneficial because additional questions are often presented by other attendees.
Seminars are beneficial for those looking for both reconstructive as well as cosmetic applications. Seminars are held approximately three times a month in New York and once monthly in San Francisco. Seminars last approximately an hour to an hour and a half. Specific dates and times can be obtained by contacting us online anytime or by calling the appropriate office. Those phone numbers are listed on each page of this site. Additionally, seminars in New York include information on the latest laser technology and physician strength skincare.
SCULPTRA® ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP)
The seminars are also a great opportunity to learn more about and apply for the Sculptra® Assistance Program (SAP). Dr. Fréchette was instrumental in convincing Dermik to institute an assistance program for Sculptra® for people earning under $80,000 annually. The Sculptra® Assistance Program (SAP) specifically applies to those looking to correct lipoatrophy who are HIV+ and can provide proof of income below $80,000.
There are two levels to the SAP. Applicants whose income is between $40,000 and $80,000 pay a portion of the cost of the Sculptra® product on a sliding scale. Applicants pay Dermik directly for their Sculptra® once the Franklin Group (hired by Dermik as a third party to protect the confidentiality of the patient) has reviewed their application. The approval process happens very quickly—usually it takes no more than one business week. For applicants whose income is below $40,000, Dermik provides the Sculptra® at NO COST for the patient. These patients are only responsible for doctor’s fees at the time of each treatment.
