Unveiling Youthful Radiance
At Sculpted Contours Medical Aesthetics, we believe in the power of enhancing your natural beauty through advanced cosmetic procedures. In our quest to provide you with the most effective anti-aging solutions, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Sculptra face and neck injections. Say goodbye to wrinkles, lost volume, and sagging skin, and hello to a revitalized, more youthful appearance.
With its innovative approach to restoring lost volume and reviving skin elasticity, Sculptra is perfect if you are seeking natural-looking enhancements and long-lasting results. Sculptra is not just an injection procedure it’s a foundational component to rejuvenating your skin and enhancing your natural, more youthful appearance. Instead of a quick fix, think of it as an investment in your skin’s future.
How Much Does Sculptra Cost?
Sculptra is packaged in individual vials that are filled with the dry PLLA product. The vials are reconstituted right before your treatment with sterile water and some injectable numbing medication.
Your consultation with our Master Injector will determine how many vials are needed for your treatment and how many treatments are need to get you the results you are looking for.
Factors that determine the number of vials needed per treatment include:
- Size of Your Face
- Areas being treated (can include temples, cheeks, jawline, chin, sides of nose or neck)
- Degree of volume loss you currently have
- Degree of volume replenishment you want to see
- Amount of skin laxity you currently have
The amount of product injected for each treatment is determined primarily by the areas being treated, volume loss in those areas and the size of your face. Each treatment is 1 to 2 vials for the face and possibly an additional vial if you are also treating your neck.
Determing how many treatments you will need depends on the amount of volume loss and skin laxity you have and what you want to see when the treatment results are complete. Let’s be honest, the older you are when you start the more you’ll need.
Our younger, 30’s-early 50’s patients typically need 1 to 3 treatments in their series for full results. Our older patients may need an additional treatment making it 4 total, but many times additional dermal fillers can be used to enhance your results too.
For many younger people, 1 vial of Sculptra once or twice per year is enough to maintain the collagen they have in their skin and becomes part of their anti-aging program.
Understanding Collagen Loss and Its Impact on Skin Aging
Collagen is a protein found throughout our body. In the skin, it is responsible for providing structure and elasticity. Collagen loss is a natural part of the aging process that begins in our late 20’s and accelerates each year as we age.
As the amount of collagen in our skin decreases, skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity and firmness and begins to show fine lines, increased pore size, deeper wrinkles and areas of sagging and crepey skin. Additionally, reduced collagen levels can lead to a decrease in skin hydration and volume, contributing to a dull, lackluster complexion and hollowness.
What Happens to Collagen as we age?
How Does Sculptra Work To Reverse Signs of Aging?
Sculptra is a revolutionary cosmetic injectable that works beneath the surface of your skin. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring collagen volume and youthful contours, elasticity and firmness.
Here’s how it works:
- Stimulating Collagen Production:
When injected into targeted areas of the face and neck, Sculptra’s active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, kickstarts collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. Over time, this collagen rebuilds the underlying structure, resulting in smoother, firmer skin and diminished wrinkles.
- Gradual Results:
Unlike instant fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra offers a more gradual transformation. You’ll notice subtle improvements in your skin’s texture and tone as collagen production increases, with full results appearing gradually over several months.
- Long-lasting Effects:
The beauty of Sculptra lies in its longevity. While traditional fillers may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, Sculptra’s results can endure for up to two years or more. By stimulating collagen renewal, Sculptra offers a sustainable solution to combatting the signs of aging.
Differences Between Sculptra and Traditional Dermal Fillers:
It’s essential to understand how Sculptra sets itself apart from traditional dermal fillers. Here’s a comparison:
- Mechanism of Action:
– Traditional Fillers: Add volume to targeted areas instantly by filling in wrinkles and hollows. Most are made with Hylauronic Acid which draws water into the filler to increase volume in the area it was injected.
– Sculptra: Stimulates your skin to produce your own collagen to restore volume and firmness gradually over time.
- Longevity:
– Traditional Fillers: Results typically last from a few months to a couple of years.
– Sculptra: Offers long-lasting effects, with results lasting up to two years or more.
- Natural Results:
– Traditional Fillers: Provide volume in specific areas they are injected into and remain only in those areas to “fill” in hollows or depressions from volume loss and below wrinkles.
– Sculptra: Provides natural-looking results as it rebuilds your skin’s own collagen foundation from within.
What is Sculptra made from?
Sculptra is made out of Poly-L- Lactic Acid which is plant derived and has been proven safe in medical applications for decades and is naturally eliminated in the body within months.
Who are the best candidates for Sculptra?
Sculptra was approved by the FDA for men and women age 26-73. The more visible results from Sculptra are seen in people who have evident collagen loss and signs of aging typically beginning to appear in their 40’s and older.
Sculptra helps to restore collagen loss and provide a corrective treatment that improve skin elasticity, fills volume loss to the temples, cheeks and mid-face and chin. Sculptra corrects these visible aging changes, and results in a more youthful appearance.
Sculptra can also be injected as a preventative treatment to delay the process of aging and maintain collagen stores in men and women in their 30’s and early 40’s who are not yet seeing any visible aging changes.
What Results Can You Expect From Sculptra?
The beauty of Sculptra lies in its transformative effects on your skin. Here’s what you can expect from your treatment:
1. Smoother, Firmer Skin:
As collagen production increases, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your skin’s texture and tone. Fine lines and wrinkles will be diminished, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful complexion.
2. Restored Volume and Contours:
Say goodbye to hollow cheeks and sunken temples. Sculptra replenishes lost volume, restoring youthful contours and fullness to your face and neck.
3. Natural-Looking Results:
Unlike traditional fillers that can sometimes result in an overly “done” appearance, Sculptra provides subtle, natural-looking enhancements. Your friends will notice you look younger, refreshed and rejuvenated, but they won’t know your secret unless you tell them.
4. Long-lasting Effects:
Enjoy the benefits of your Sculptra treatment for up to two years or more. With proper maintenance, you can maintain your youthful results for even longer, ensuring lasting confidence and radiance. 94% of the people treated with Sculptra in their clinical trials had improved appearance even beyond 2 years after their treatment.
What Is A Sculptra Treatment Like?
Sculptra is injected into various areas of the face and neck during your procedure. Each treatment includes one to two vials of Sculptra depending on your skin quality and need for corrective results. A series of two to four treatments every 4 to 8 weeks is performed to gradually build collagen with Sculptra without creating significant swelling.
Immediately after each Sculptra treatment, you will see some results from the increased volume. This is because Sculptra is mixed with sterile water to inject it into the skin. Over the next few days to a week, this water will be absorbed by your body with just the Sculptra product left in place. That volume will slowly return as Sculptra builds back your natural collagen in those areas.
As with any injectable aesthetic treatment, common side effects are temporary bruising, redness and swelling at the injection sites and some swelling. Plan your treatment 1 to 2 weeks before any big social events.
