Sculptra Dermal Filler

Sculptra is revolutionary treatment that restores volume and fullness to the thin, aging face. This treatment will lift the cheek and tighten the jaw line. As volume is restored to the face, the skin will stretch, fine lines will diminish and a natural youthful fullness will appear. Sculptra is also used to restore volume to the hands and neck, thus restoring a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Sculptra is an injectable product, poly-L-lactic acid, that stimulates collagen deposition in and underneath the skin. Sculptra is biocompatible (does not harm the body) and biodegradable and has been used for many years in soft tissue implants.

Treatments with Sculptra consist of a series of skin injections, take about one hour and are performed in the medical suite. A gradual increase in skin thickness and fullness occur over the next 2 months, to give a natural restoration to facial fullness. We find that most patients are satisfied after 2 or 3 treatments (spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart). Maintence treatments may be needed occassionally (every year or two).
