Sculptra: Advanced Collagen Stimulation
Sculptra: Advanced Collagen Stimulation
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that enhances facial volume by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually over several treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart. This approach allows for more natural and enduring facial contours and skin texture improvement. The treatment is effective for various areas, including nasolabial folds (deep wrinkles between the nose and mouth), marionette lines, chin wrinkles, and hollow areas in the cheeks and temples.
Sculptra is an aesthetic procedure that restores facial volume and reduces wrinkles over time. Suitable candidates include those who have experienced age-related collagen loss and desire a natural-looking enhancement. Results generally become visible after a few months as the body produces new collagen, with effects lasting up to two years. Minimal downtime makes it convenient for those with busy schedules. To explore this treatment and see if it’s right for you, book an appointment at Sloan Aesthetics and begin your journey to a refreshed appearance.
