The Benefits of Sculptra®: Facial Rejuvenation and More!

When you think of dermal fillers, you most likely think of restoring facial volume or treating lines and wrinkles. While many types of fillers are limited to your facial features, Sculptra® is a uniquely versatile option that can be used for many different purposes to enhance your face and body with longer-lasting results than other fillers. 

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler that works differently than well-known brands like Juvederm®. It uses poly-L-lactic acid, a material extensively used in medical devices like sutures and implants. When injected, Sculptra® stimulates the cells in your dermis to increase their collagen production. It also acts as a scaffold to add this new collagen to your skin in the form of increased firmness and volume. 

The Benefits of Sculptra®: Facial Rejuvenation and More!

Unlike most dermal fillers, which are used almost exclusively for the face, Sculptra® can be used in many other areas of the body. Since this multipurpose filler works by activating your own collagen formation, it is safe to use in many areas and produces natural-looking results. 

Sculptra® for Facial Rejuvenation

One of the most bothersome signs of aging is the loss of facial volume. This volume loss can lead to loss of definition in your cheeks, jawline, and other areas, as well as a hollow appearance under your eyes. This filler can restore volume with longer-lasting results than most others. 

Sculptra® for Lines and Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles can significantly affect your confidence, but Sculptra® excels at plumping and smoothing even deep creases. This filler can be used for many different wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. 

Other Uses for Sculptra®

Sculptra® can be used almost anywhere on the face or body that you want to add volume. It has become increasingly popular as a treatment for “hip dips,” the indentation where the hip meets the thigh, which some people want to correct. 

What Results Will I See With Sculptra®?

Sculptra® results will start to appear after a few weeks, and full results will take about three months to develop as your skin adds new collagen. You will notice a gradual increase in smoothness and volume in the treated areas, and you can expect your results to last two years or more. Touch-ups as needed can keep you looking lifted and rejuvenated. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

Because poly-L-lactic acid is approved and widely tested for use in the body, Sculptra® is a safe, effective filler that almost anyone can use. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and are in overall good health. They may want to correct a wide range of issues related to collagen loss or a desire for increased volume.
