Whether we like it or not, as we begin to age, our face begins to show wrinkles, fine lines and less volume. Although this can be frustrating, there are a variety of reliable and effective dermal fillers you can select to revive your appearance and return you to the beauty and glow of your youth. At Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach, Sculptra® is an innovative and impressive choice to address your anti-aging needs. Here are the top 10 things to know about this treatment:
- Replaces Collagen to Boost Youth–Sculptra® improves the underlying structure of your skin by penetrating the dermis and slowly restoring collagen.
- Can Improve Tone and Texture–More than just plumping the face and removing unwanted lines and wrinkles, Sculptra® can improve the tone and texture of the skin to give you a more youthful appearance.
- Suitable for Numerous Areas of the Body–Although many people assume that Sculptra® can only be used on the face, this treatment is suitable for use on other areas including the hands and upper chest.
- Not a Toxin-Based Filler–Made primarily from Poly-L-lactic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, Sculptra® can be safely absorbed and poses a far lower risk of poisoning than fillers that are toxin-based.
- Results Take Time–Many people assume that Sculptra® will provide immediate results, however, this is not the case. While imperfections will improve with each session, the average patient requires 4 sessions to see the desired outcome.
- Patience is Key–Sessions are generally scheduled over the course of 3-4 months. So, while you may be anxious for your new look, your patience will be worth it.
- Minimal Pain–One of the best aspects of Sculptra® is that the injections are relatively pain free. Patients can elect to have a topical anesthetic.
- No Downtime Required–Although you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising after the injection, this filler does not require any downtime. You can get right back to your life!
- Some Maintenance Is Necessary–One of the longest lasting facial fillers, results can last up to two years before you will need to return for maintenance.
- Costs Vary By Patient–Pricing will vary depending on your unique needs and will be discussed during an initial consultation.
