About The Procedure:
Our providers use dermal fillers and Sculptra to help clients rebuild volume lost in areas of the face that, as a result, leads to sunken cheeks, fine lines, wrinkles, and deep laugh lines.
The most popular treatment is Sculptra, which stimulates your body to produce collagen again.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a unique neuromodulator that offers a non-surgical approach to enhance the appearance of the face by stimulating collagen production. Unlike other neuromodulators, Sculptra consists of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that promotes the skin’s natural collagen-building process.
Injecting Sculptra into specific areas activates collagen production in the deep layers of the skin, triggering a natural rejuvenation process. Sculptra is particularly effective in addressing facial volume loss and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds. This process helps to restore lost volume, improve skin texture, and enhance overall facial contour.
Common areas that clients have Sculptra injected are the cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline. Clients also love treating the space above their knee that shows signs of creepiness in the skin’s texture. It primarily benefits individuals experiencing age-related volume loss or seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
During the injection process, a healthcare provider carefully administers Sculptra in multiple treatment sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. This gradual approach allows for optimal collagen stimulation and natural-looking results. The injections are typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Your provider may use a topical anesthetic or local numbing agent to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
After your treatment, it is common to have redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Our providers recommend ice packs or over-the-counter pain relievers that can typically manage these effects, which are usually temporary. Over time, as Sculptra stimulates collagen production, the treated areas gradually improve in volume and appearance resulting in an improvement in the “hollowed” cheek appearance.
The effects of Sculptra are not immediate. It takes time for the collagen-building process to unfold, gradually improving the treated areas. The results of Sculptra can last up to two years, depending on individual factors such as age, metabolism, and lifestyle. To continuously generate new collagen, it is advisable to maintain regular treatments.
Our injectors will continually assess your specific aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan to assist you in attaining natural-looking and enduring results with Sculptra.
