Rejuvenate your face with Sculptra™ Injectable Filler

In time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance. This is the result of a natural aging process where skin becomes damaged, thinner or loses its natural elasticity. Fat tissue that helps to fill out your face is lost. As a result, your face may look thin and narrow and your skin becomes loose and starts to wrinkle.

Improve your appearance with Sculptra™

With Sculptra™, you can restore facial contour and get rid of disturbing lines and wrinkles without surgery. Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Sculptra™, has been used successfully in surgical procedures for more than 25 years, among others for bioresorbable sutures, in bone plates and screws, and as a medium for medication. Sculptra™ has been specially developed to repair contour defects in the face.

How Sculptra™ works

Sculptra™ works in the lower layers of the skin in order to smooth and firm the treated areas of the face. Sculptra™ is a unique substance which is gradually and naturally broken down by the body.

Sculptra™ is like "seeds of collagen" which are carefully placed in the areas where your skin needs it the most. Sculptra™ works in the lower layers of the skin in order to smooth and firm the treated areas of the face. The full effects of Sculptra™ are not immediate and can take a few months to develop. The long-lasting effects of Sculptra™ make it well worth the wait.

How Sculptra Treatments Are Administered

Sculptra™ injections are administered at Abrams Dermatology and can take anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes to complete depending on the number and size of areas being treated. The number of necessary injections depends on many different factors. After the first treatment, your practitioner will recommend whether you need any subsequent treatments and how many these should be. Generally, several treatments can be necessary to obtain the required results. However, in contrast to some other treatments which require frequent refresher sessions, after the end of your Sculptra™ series the results can last up to 2 years.*

A local or topical anesthetic cream may first be administered and then small amounts of Sculptra™ are injected into the skin through multiple injections using a very fine needle. Some swelling, redness or bruising may occur after injection though these symptoms typically fade within a few hours to a few days. Ice packs applied during the first twenty-four hours can help to reduce swelling. The treated area must be massaged a period of 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days. Approximately 3 or 4 treatments (scheduled approximately 1 month a part) are required to achieve desired results. Most patients are able to immediately return to work and other activities, though excessive sun exposure should be avoided until any swelling and redness have cleared. * The results can differ depending on age, wrinkling and the type of procedure used.
