Sculptra Injections
Sculptra is the preferred dermal filler for patients who are seeking a natural, long-lasting treatment for cheek wrinkles, chin wrinkles, smile lines, and marionette lines. This kind of biostimulatory injectable gradually restores volume to the face by encouraging the natural production of collagen deep within the skin. Results are noticeable as early as one month after treatment and can last as long as two years, making it the ideal type of filler for patients preferring a natural and noninvasive way to reverse signs of aging in their cheeks, chin, or temples.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Made of an FDA-approved mixture of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), thickening agents, stabilizers, and sterile water, Sculptra acts as a collagen-producing stimulant when injected deep into the skin. PLLA is a completely biodegradable solution that acts as a scaffolding for your body’s natural collagen production process.
In this way, Sculptra restores volume to your face over time, naturally smoothing out wrinkles through the production of collagen. Results take anywhere between four and six weeks to become noticeable, and can last up to two years after treatment.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Sculptra?
Our Gainesville Sculptra treatments are ideal for patients who are looking to revitalize the appearance of their face. Those who are experiencing loss of facial volume, excessive wrinkles, or smile lines, and are not quite ready to consider more invasive facial lift procedures or more artificial dermal filler treatments, should look into how Sculptra can work for them.
Patients with severe allergies, keloid tendencies, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should contact their doctor before considering Sculptra injections. North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center tends to see patients between the ages of 20 and 75 for this kind of facial rejuvenation treatment.
