Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra injectable poly-L-lactic acid is a biodegradable polymer used for the correction of age-related facial imperfections. Sculptra is incredibly effective for restoring tissue volume that has been lost over time.

Sculptra is a long lasting treatment option to treat facial fat loss and facial imperfections

• Nasolabial folds
• Facial depressions or contour deficiencies
• Middle and lower facial volume loss; cheeks, temples, chin
• Laxity of the jaw line

Results are natural-looking and appear gradually over a few weeks time. While the results of other fillers (such as Restylane and Juvederm) last only a few months, Sculptra can last two years or more because it causes the body to stimulate its own collagen.

Side effects of the procedure are minimal, other than short-term swelling and redness.

What is the cost of Sculptra therapy? 

Sculptra is provided in vial dosages of 10cc/vial. The cost per vial is $750 with our RN injection specialists, $900 when provided by Dr. Carney.  To gain the full benefits of facial restoration, Sculptra therapy commonly involves 2-3 treatments, 1-2 vials per treatment.

Why choose Sculptra?

The aging process brings a progressive loss of skin volume, caused by a range of different factors. The dermis can become thinner, flatter, and lose its structural integrity. Fat loss and fat redistribution occur and radically change a person’s appearance, causing hollowness, wrinkles, folds, and other contour deficiencies.

Sculptra was developed to treat the signs of facial fat loss. After you receive an injection of Sculptra, your tissues respond to the compound and eventually break it down, but meanwhile a collagen stimulating response occurs, allowing the results to last a considerable length of time. It’s not unusual for patients to see results lasting an average of 2 years. 

Sunken cheeks, temple indentations, and hollows under the eyes regain lost volume over time with Sculptra. No skin testing is required.

What are the possible side effects of Sculptra?

While side effects are minimal, short-term swelling, redness, and bruising are possible.

How many treatments are required?

An average cosmetic patient is encouraged to have 2-3 treatments, scheduled 6 weeks apart.

When will I see results from Sculptra?

About 4 weeks after the first session of Sculptra. We comfortably promote that you will see increasing improvement with subsequent treatment.
