22 Feb Look Younger with Sculptra Dermal Filler
With so many dermal fillers on the market, how can you choose the best one for you? Parson Skin Center specializes in minimizing fine lines and wrinkles with safe, effective dermal fillers including the popular Sculptra option. Sculptra is liquid-based and designed to increase volume in the face with pinpoint accuracy. Fine lines, wrinkles, and the natural “hollowing” that can occur with age or weight loss can make a person look older than they are. This can decrease confidence and self-esteem, but Sculptra dermal filler quickly and safety restores facial volume for a natural recontouring.
Sculptra offers a two-pronged approach to restoring youthfulness. As a dermal filler, it instantly replaces lost volume (although it can take a few days or weeks for full results to show). It also stimulates natural collagen production in the body, which slows down with age. Unlike some other dermal fillers, there’s no risk of having a puffy or “overstuffed” look with Sculptra. While the body is encouraged to stimulate its own collagen growth, the dermal filler simultaneously disappears. This means natural results with no downtime.
Where Can I Use Sculptra?
Sculptra can be injected nearly anywhere on the face where increased volume is desired. However, some of the most popular areas are around the lips/mouth and around the eyes. Sculptra injected near the mouth can make lips look organically fuller while reducing the “marionette” look that can happen with smile lines. Sculptra in the eye trough area can reduce bags, wrinkles, and dark circles. In many cases, dark circles under the eyes are caused by a lack of volume, allowing the bone and blood vessels to show through the skin.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is FDA approved and made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). The synthetic lactic acid mimics what our body creates after a tough exercise. If you’ve ever experienced muscle soreness after a workout, that’s excess lactic acid in the body. However, there’s no discomfort or soreness with Sculptra. Instead, it only offers the benefits that happen when molecules are stringed together as a polymer. No human DNA or animal products are used in the creation of Sculptra.
The Sculptra injectable is different from other fillers because it can add lift and volume instead of only targeting specific lines. For most patients, only one treatment per year is necessary. Other fillers may require up to three per year. Learn more and schedule your consultation with Parson Skin Center today by calling 480-282-8386.
