Book OnlineHow Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is a unique filler made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This active ingredient helps stimulate the production of collagen in the skin to fill in wrinkles, lines, and folds. These signs of aging are commonly caused by a breakdown of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give your skin its suppleness and youthful support. When injected, Sculptra initially provides subtle, natural-looking volume – but over a few months, the gel begins to fade and your own natural collagen takes its place. This provides long-lasting results and helps treat the root cause of aging, unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra is a preferred filler for certain cosmetic concerns and aging signs.
Our knowledgeable aesthetic experts can help you explore your many options with this extremely popular anti-aging treatment.
Tear Troughs
When your eyes look tired even though you feel rested, tear trough fillers give you a refreshed appearance. Sculptra tear trough fillers are injected into the fragile undereye skin for optimum results. You will need more than one treatment to receive the full benefits. It takes about 15 minutes in total, although it may take longer if you choose to use a topical numbing cream on the area. Results can be noticeable right away and often last from 6-18 months.
Cheeks
Cheek fillers are designed to lift your cheekbones and add volume to your face. You will also see fine lines and wrinkles smoothed away. Cheek fillers are a form of non-surgical implant, and these fillers raise the area above and around your cheekbones. You may immediately receive the illusion of a more defined bone structure. Sculptra cheek fillers last anywhere from six months to two years before you can no longer see the results.
Neck
Looking to get rid of those necklines and chest wrinkles that give away your age? Using Sculptra, you can improve moderate to severe etched-in lines and wrinkles. Neck fillers using Sculptra are fully integrated into the skin and leave no bumps. Sculptra for the neck is not used to plump or volumize but is injected in “micro-aliquot” amounts to fine-tune and rejuvenate the neck area. On average, Sculptra fillers last for 6-12 months.
Mouth and Lip Lines
Lips get their shape from collagen, and as you age, less collagen is produced. UV damage, genetics, and lifestyle factors like smoking can also cause lines around your lips. Sculptra can help restore structure and shape by boosting collagen. Sculptra can smooth lip lines and smile lines around the mouth, and most results last about six months.
Butt Lift
Sculptra can be used as a non-surgical butt lift treatment. By boosting collagen, it can create a fuller, more defined look to the buttocks without surgery.
