Sculptra

As we grow older, our faces lose youthful fat and volume, contributing to an aged and hollowed appearance. Sculptra is designed to treat deep facial folds and age-related volume loss, by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It rejuvenates your appearance gradually and over time, while ensuring that you still look like you – only significantly younger.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a safe, FDA-approved facial injectable that corrects deep facial folds and volume loss due to the natural aging process. It’s comprised of poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) which is derived from lactic acid, a natural substance in the body that promotes cellular metabolism.

The Main Goal Of Sculptra

Rejuvenates Your Appearance

Due to Sculptra’s ability to replenish the body’s natural collagen supply, it gradually corrects hollow areas and restores a voluminous appearance over time. As such, most clients require three to six sessions over a period of a few months to produce optimal, long-lasting results. After repeated Sculptra injections, your results will continue to progress on an ongoing basis – dramatically improving the appearance of deep facial folds and age-related volume loss.Though individual results will vary, the majority of our clients still see noticeable results two years after their initial procedure. At Bayou City Dermatology, we recommend annual maintenance treatments to continuously promote collagen growth and preserve your beautiful results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Expect During Sculptra Treatments?

From there, we will massage the area gently to ensure the filler distributes evenly. The entire one-hour procedure will be virtually pain-free, with our clients reporting very minimal discomfort at most during their injections.

Is Sculptra less expensive than alternative anti-aging solutions?

It can be difficult to compare the cost of various facial rejuvenation procedures because there are many things to consider, including the amount of injectables needed, the number of treatments, and the length of time in which they last. However, in most cases, patients will compare how long they can enjoy the benefits of Sculptra versus other solutions. Patients interested in determining the best anti-aging solution for their needs can ask their physician about the various methods available to discuss cost and longevity.
