Sculptra
Achieving and maintaining a naturally younger-looking appearance gets easier with medical advances. Sculptra® is a long-lasting dermal filler that corrects more severe signs of aging.Â
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved dermal filler that helps correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds over a series of treatments. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid that is naturally absorbed by the body over time and promotes collagen production. Once injected, Sculptra® plumps the skin and replaces lost collagen, giving you natural results that can last up to two years. Sculptra® is different from other dermal fillers as most contain hyaluronic acid (HA) and artificial collagen to add volume to the targeted area.
Benefits
Sculptra® offers the following benefits:
- Gradual improvement that looks natural
- No downtime or recovery
- Quick, in-office treatment
- Very slight chance of adverse reaction
What To Expect After
There is no recovery or downtime following Sculptra® injections; however, you may want to limit physical activity for a day or two to prevent any excessive swelling or redness at the injection site. You may also gently massage the injection site to ensure the filler is evenly spread and can begin working on your skin.
