Sculptra

Not all facial injectables are created the same. It’s widely known that neuromodulators like Botox are great for reducing lines and wrinkles, and fillers such as Restylane are able to reverse signs of aging by restoring lost volume.

Sculptra, however, is the only FDA approved injectable that is proven to stimulate the patient’s own collagen; restoring the framework of the face, filling out any hollowness associated with aging and improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time. Sculptra is a bio-activator made up of Poly-L-Lactic Acid. This liquid injectable is the same type of acid that is produced naturally by the body after strenuous exercise and triggers the steady and gradual stimulation of collagen.

This increase of collagen will drastically volumize the face, restore sunken cheeks or temples, and can provide a healthy basis for other fillers to be layered over. The upcycle of collagen following a Sculptra injection will continue for 4-6 months post-treatment. Depending on desired results, multiple vials may be needed across multiple appointments – these decisions and any questions can be discussed with your provider during a consultation at the office.
