Sculptra works with your body to produce the most natural, long-lasting results available in a dermal filler today. The formulation can provide more volume than standard fillers containing hyaluronic acid, making it a preferred choice for patients in need of substantial correction. In addition to the superior results it offers, Sculptra can be more cost-effective when extensive correction is needed since less of the substance will have to be used to produce the same effect as a hyaluronic filler.
Tear trough correction is a popular benefit of the Sculptra Aesthetic filler. If you worry about looking exhausted even after you’ve had a full night’s rest, Sculptra can reverse those signs of fatigue and aging and refresh your entire appearance for an extended period.
Sculptra can work on nearly any area of the face and is effective in addressing any or all of the following concerns:
The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, which is a substance produced by our muscles after we exercise. When used in an injectable dermal filler, poly-L-lactic acid stimulates the body to produce collagen, a protein that supports the underlying dermal structure and gives skin its smooth supple appearance. This function cannot be understated since our natural levels of collagen diminish as we age.
Lower collagen amounts lead to skin laxity, facial hollowing and the formation of lines and wrinkles. By restoring collagen, we can reverse these processes and produce healthier, more youthful skin.
Sculptra results do not appear right away. It takes time for this filler to work in the underlying dermal structure, triggering collagen production and the body’s natural anti-aging process. Most of our patients will see the best results over time if they commit to a treatment protocol of around three treatment sessions over a period of months. Once those results are achieved, a touch-up procedure every 12-18 months will help you maintain your youthful appearance consistently over an extended period.
Sculptra is just one of the tools in our anti-aging arsenal to help you reverse time’s toll and maintain a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance. Call Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery today at 201-751-9490 to schedule your consultation and find out if Sculptra is the right choice for you.
