About this Event
Event Photos

VASTOZ™ is a physician-led summit redefining aesthetic medicine by restoring diagnosis, physiology, and clinical judgment to patient care. This exclusive event is designed specifically for medical practitioners responsible for real outcomes, not volume or trends. As aesthetic failures rise despite better tools, VASTOZ addresses the root causes behind poor longevity, fibrosis, and accelerated aging through a unified clinical framework focused on assessment, optimization, intervention, and maintenance. This is NOT a "master injector" course or a simple product showcase, it is a medical decision-making summit for clinicians who want better results, safer innovation, and long-term patient success.

Why Attend VASTOZ™

  • Learn what actually drives results: A unified clinical framework integrating hormones, peptides, inflammation, metabolism, collagen biology, and regenerative medicine.
  • Expand safely, scale confidently: Clear legal, compliance, and risk guidance so you can innovate without jeopardizing your license or reputation.
  • Build sustainable, high-margin care models: Turn education into repeatable, ethical, and profitable clinical offerings—beyond one-off procedures.
  • Implement immediately: Leave knowing exactly what to offer, how to position it, and how to operationalize it—without trial and error.
  • This is not an Injector Course: A physician-level summit for clinicians ready to master the physiology behind modern aesthetics.

DAY 1 - March 13

🕑: 08:45 AM - 09:45 AM
Why Aesthetic Medicine Is Failing — And How to Fix It
Host: Yan Trokel, MD, DDS

Info: Despite more aesthetic tools than ever, outcomes are shortening and dissatisfaction is rising. This keynote explains why: aesthetics drifted away from diagnosis and physiology into execution. Yan introduces the VASTOZ clinical arc—Assess → Optimize → Intervene → Maintain—and frames modern aesthetics as a longitudinal medical discipline where biology determines durability and timing determines success.


🕑: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Structure Comes First
Host: John Layke, DO

Info: Aesthetic outcomes fail most often when the wrong problem is treated. In modern practice, structural decline is frequently managed with volumization—creating short-lived improvement, accelerated distortion, and increasing patient dissatisfaction. This session restores facial aesthetics to architectural fundamentals: skeletal support, ligamentous integrity, vectors of descent, and the mechanical limits of soft tissue.


🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Hormones in Aesthetics: Why Tissue Won't Hold, Heal, or Respond
Host: Mudit Arora, MD

Info: Injectables and biostimulators behave differently depending on the physiologic environment. In hormonally unstable or metabolically stressed patients, clinicians commonly see shortened filler longevity, inconsistent biostimulator response, prolonged edema, delayed healing, and increased dissatisfaction—despite technically correct treatment. This session provides a practical injector-focused framework for recognizing hormone-influenced readiness issues and adjusting aesthetic plans accordingly.


🕑: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Endocrine Readiness: Why Tissue Refuses to Respond
Host: Stephanie Rimka, MD

Info: Aesthetic medicine increasingly fails in patients whose endocrine and metabolic signals are oriented toward survival rather than repair. Even when procedures are technically excellent, outcomes can plateau, healing can slow, tissue quality can deteriorate, and collagen response can remain poor. This session presents the endocrine patterns that most consistently predict aesthetic underperformance.


🕑: 03:15 PM - 04:15 PM
Longevity Judgment: From Rapid Results to Durable Outcomes
Host: Melissa Peterson, DC

Info: Modern aesthetic patients increasingly present in physiologic states that resist repair: catabolism, under-fueling, chronic stress, sleep disruption, and GLP-1–associated tissue changes. In these patients, accelerating intervention does not improve outcomes—it accelerates failure. This session reframes aesthetic care through a longevity time horizon.


🕑: 04:15 PM - 05:00 PM
Why Outcomes Fail: The Integrated Failure Map
Host: Yan Trokel, MD

Info: Day 1 capstone panel integrating structure + signals + hormones + longevity into a single clinical 'failure map.' Differential diagnosis, risk stratification, and case-based judgment to prepare the audience for Day 2 regeneration content.


DAY 2 - March 14

🕑: 08:45 AM - 09:45 AM
Regenerative Aesthetics: Peptides as Signals That Improve Durability
Host: Jeff Gross, MD

Info: Aesthetic success depends on more than product choice and technique—it depends on whether tissue is capable of repair. This session frames peptides as biologic signals that can support recovery and tissue behavior when the patient is prepared appropriately. The focus is clinical judgment: when regenerative support improves outcomes and when it will fail if foundational readiness is absent.


🕑: 09:45 AM - 11:00 AM
Regenerative Aesthetics: When Biology Allows Healing
Host: Jeff Wiegers, MD, ABA-PM

Info: Regenerative success is dictated by cellular environment. This session explains how mitochondrial function, inflammatory signaling, and energy availability determine whether tissue enters repair or breakdown. It provides mechanistic clarity for why advanced tools fail in catabolic physiology and why readiness must be established before stimulation, scaffolding, or cell-based strategies.


🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
GLP-1 & Catabolism Panel
Host: Yan Trokel, MD, DDS

Info: To create clinical consensus on how to manage GLP-1/catabolic patients ethically and safely. Clarifies why the demo patient is chosen and why many GLP-1 patients would be deferred. This is medical risk management applied to modern aesthetics.


🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Compliance, Safety, and Operationalization
Host: Mary Ann Coffey, R. Ph, CCN

Info: *Operational workflow: intake checkpoints, readiness stratification, follow-up cadence *Patient adherence: why “great plans fail” and how to build compliance *Medic*tion/supplement realities that change outcomes (practical guardrails) *Co-management models that keep the practice medical—not protocol-driven


🕑: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Legal & Regulatory
Host: Mike McArthur

Info: Innovation in aesthetics and regenerative medicine increases regulatory and liability exposure—often through marketing language and documentation rather than clinical intent. This session provides a practical framework for compliant communication, consent, and practice protection, allowing clinicians to advance responsibly without unnecessary risk.


🕑: 03:15 PM - 04:00 PM
From Procedures to Lifetime Patients
Host: Jennifer Speiser, NP-BC, LE

Info: Knowledge without implementation does not change outcomes. This session teaches how to integrate the VASTOZ framework into practice: redesigning intake, identifying readiness red flags, sequencing interventions, and building longitudinal care pathways that create trust and durable results.
