Natural Collagen Stimulating Treatments

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a facial injectable that works deep within the dermis to help replace lost collagen and gradually restore the look of fullness to areas of the face affected by facial wrinkles and folds. 

Unlike hyaluronic acid dermal fillers which show results immediately, Sculptra and other biostimulator treatments like Hyperdilute Radiesse, build volume gradually over the weeks following treatment.  

A full treatment provides a softened, youthful, and natural-looking appearance that can last up to two years. This is usually accomplished over a few sessions, spaced at least 4 weeks apart.  

Who is a candidate for this treatment? Someone who has…

• moderate to deep wrinkles

• Folds around the mouth and nose

• Hollow temples or cheeks

• Weight loss leading to hollow areas of the face

• A desire to slow signs of aging as early as 25 years old

• A desire to add volume to the buttocks

• Lines between the breasts 

• Sagging skin above the knees

What are the Benefits of Sculptra Aesthetic?

Restoration of youthful shape

Take a look at kids… beautiful apples on their cheeks. As we age the volume in our faces decreases and tissue (gasp) falls downward. Sculptra restores the fullness and volume of the face.  Over time, people around you may notice that you look fresher, younger, and more radiant, but they won’t be able to put their finger on what it is.

Sculptra improves skin texture and health

Although Sculptra stimulates the collagen deep within the dermis, the results show up on the surface layers of your skin as well. In addition to the volumizing and plumping effects, you get the glowing tone and smooth texture of youthful skin as well.

Sculptra offers natural-looking results

Some injectables work to relax the muscles causing the wrinkles in your face to soften. Others diminish lines and wrinkles by filling in the space. Sculptra works gradually to stimulate your own body’s collagen production, resulting in a natural, more beautiful and youthful-looking you!

Sculptra is exceptionally long-lasting

Which would you choose…immediate effect or long lasting effect?

Though dermal fillers may provide immediate results, they need to be injected annually or sooner to maintain preferred results. Biostimulatory treatments like Sculptra works gradually. You may see some improvements within the first few weeks of treatment, but optimal, long-lasting effects develop after an average of 3 sessions spaced a month or so apart. A full treatment of Sculptra provides exceptionally long-lasting results of up to 2 years. Best maintained with a ‘touch up’ yearly to keep up with aging.  

What Can It Treat?

One of the major benefits of getting this particular injectable is that it can treat a wide variety of problems. If you are concerned about any of these areas, contact us for an official consult.

Cheeks

This filler was originally developed to help those struggling with HIV maintain fuller cheeks. It’s a very effective way to help your cheeks look fuller, offering you a healthier, younger appearance.  This can also be a great way to add more definition to the cheekbones. Since the cheek and cheekbone areas are some of the first to show major signs of aging, you’ll appreciate what this can do for them.

Temples

One of the areas you may not have considered filling in is your temples. As you get older, you may find that you don’t have quite as much volume in this part of your face.  Sculptra is a great way to restore fullness to the temple area. You’ll look healthier, less gaunt, and younger.

Jowls

The appearance of jowls is a major concern for many people as they age. Jowls can be a deeply unwanted side effect of aging and can cause a lot of self-conscious feelings for you.  By filling in the area around them, your skin will be lifted, which will smooth out any sagging that may be occurring.

Nose

One of the most common places where wrinkles and folds form is the area that runs from your mouth to your nose. These folds can make you look considerably older than you may feel on the inside.  Sculptra can fill in and smooth out this troublesome area

Mouth

Your mouth moves a lot throughout the day. As it moves, the skin over the muscles creases. As you know, when you’re younger your skin will smooth back out after you make these expressions. But the loss of collagen and elastin impedes your skin’s ability to do this as you get older. This results in permanent wrinkles around the mouth area.

This makes the mouth a major area of concern when it comes to wrinkles. Sculptra can smooth out the area, reducing or even eliminating the appearance of marionette lines.
