Not all fillers are created equal. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2004, Sculptra is a cosmetic treatment that has become increasingly popular due to its long-lasting effects. Unlike other fillers that add volume to the face through hyaluronic acid, Sculptra is unique because it gradually stimulates collagen production to enhance the face’s natural fullness.Â
Sculptra uses a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid. It is injected into the face in a series of treatments, usually spaced about four to six weeks apart. Dr. Pearl works with each patient to craft a unique look that is entirely your own. The amount of product used, and the number of treatments will vary depending on your concerns and desired outcome.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Once injected, Sculptra stimulates the production of collagen, which is a protein that naturally decreases as we age. This collagen production can continue for up to six months following the last treatment, resulting in a more youthful, natural-looking fullness to the face. It is typically used to treat the mid-face and other areas of volume loss, including the temples and jawline. The product can also improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by adding volume to the skin.
Our patients often love the long-lasting effects of Sculptra. Traditional fillers typically last six to 12 months. Meanwhile, Sculptra can provide natural fullness to the face for up to two years. This makes it a popular option for those who want to maintain their results without frequent touch-ups.
What Should I Know About the Procedure?
It is important to note that Sculptra is not a one-and-done treatment. It requires a series of injections with Dr. Pearl and a bit of patience to see the desired results. However, once the treatment plan is complete, patients can enjoy a natural look with a youthful and long-lasting glow.
When you book a consultation, Dr. Pearl can develop a unique treatment plan based on your desired outcomes, concerns, and personal goals. Sculptra is an effective, long-lasting treatment that can help reduce the signs of aging and enhance the natural fullness of the face.
