Sculptra Richardson, TX

Aging brings on a decreased supply of collagen, and you start to notice facial aging and wrinkles by the time you are in your 30s. Collagen is the most common protein in your body as well as the skin’s support system, and collagen also takes care of cells and tissues in your body. In addition, aging causes bone loss that is a part of the natural aging process. Sculptra restores lost volume and can help maintain the structure of the facial bones.

Sculptra Aesthetic is a dermal filler injectable used to decrease wrinkles and sagging skin by stimulating collagen production to restore plumpness. Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable molecule. The main ingredient in Sculptra, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is used to restore your skin’s underlying structure, help rebuild collagen, and diminishes facial wrinkles. PLLA is absorbed naturally in the body and has been used in dissolvable stitches in surgery. Sculptra Aesthetics does not contain human or animal components and is hypoallergenic.

After extensive clinical testing, the FDA approved Sculptra Aesthetic in 2009 for cosmetic purposes. The procedure is an in-office treatment by a certified provider, and the number of Sculptra injections you will need varies. It usually takes a minimum of three treatment sessions over several months to reach your goals. The number of injections needed and the time between sessions varies from person to person, and the actual injection time is about 30 minutes.

If you want to look youthful without looking artificial, Sculptra is a good choice for you. Each treatment goes deep within the dermis, and over time Sculptra triggers the body to replace collagen lost to aging. Sculptra also targets chin wrinkles, smile lines, and marionette lines that make you look and feel older. Sculptra can also be injected in addition to other dermal fillers to give you immediate fullness.

Discuss Sculptra Aesthetic treatment with your aesthetician to get the best advice possible. Sculptra is noninvasive, and immediately after Sculptra treatment, you can return to your normal daily activities.
