Gravity and aging take a toll on facial features. A face that was once tight, plump, and wrinkle-free is what most men and women crave. Sculptra is designed to smooth away wrinkles and restore facial volume by stimulating collagen. It takes years off your face and still allows you to look like you.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler that has been approved by the FDA and contains no animal product or human DNA. This cosmetic filler is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production.
 
Sculptra treats deep lines, creases, and folds. Sculptra is safe and effective depending on people’s medical conditions. Immediate results will be apparent, and it will take a few months to see the full results.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Sculptra?

People who want to restore the beauty of their skin usually opt for Sculptra treatments. People who are physically healthy are also ideal candidates. Because it is bio-compatible, the risk of an allergic reaction is quite low.

Why Is Sculptra Unique?

Sculptra is unique as an injectable filler because unlike most fillers, it is a collagen stimulator rather than a true filler. Poly-L-lactic acid encourages the tissues to produce new collagen. Because it stimulates gradual collagen growth, its results will look very natural and work well with the shape and contours of your face.

How Does the Sculptra Treatment Process Work?

A consultation with Dr. Wallace is the first step. Dr. Wallace will work with you to determine what your aesthetic goals are. You will be asked to provide your complete medical history, including any allergies and any medications you are currently taking. The doctor will answer any questions you may have.
 
On the day of the procedure, Dr. Wallace will mark the parts of your skin that are going to be treated. Those portions are cleansed before the treatment. A topical anesthetic will be administered to prevent discomfort and pain. Multiple small injections will then be used to deliver the Sculptra to the treatment areas.
 
After the treatment, you can resume regular activities. Any swelling, bruising, or redness will be only temporary.

What Are the Targeted Areas for Sculptra?

Sculptra is clinically proven to treat smile lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. It works to correct a number of issues:

• Aging and wrinkles: Most patients get Sculptra treatments done to fill in their wrinkles and tighten aging skin. This makes the skin more youthful.

• Undereye circles and eye bags: Sculptra is a safe and effective treatment that works gradually to thicken the skin under your eyes and is a great alternative to using concealers and creams.

• Acne Scars: Old acne breakouts leave behind scars and marks that can be improved by using Sculptra.
