Sculptra® Injectable

Sculptra® Aesthetic Injectable at West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness

At West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer Sculptra® Aesthetic. It is an innovative injectable that harnesses your body’s natural collagen production to restore facial volume, smooth fine lines, and achieve long-lasting, youthful results. Unlike traditional fillers that deliver immediate but temporary improvements, Sculptra works gradually, promoting collagen renewal for subtle and natural enhancements.

What is Sculptra® Aesthetic?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a crucial structural protein in the skin, responsible for maintaining firmness, elasticity, and volume. As we age, our collagen levels naturally decline, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add volume directly, Sculptra® encourages your skin to produce its own collagen. This provides long-lasting results that can last up to two years or more.

How Does Sculptra® Work?

For a better version of you, Sculptra is administered through a series of injections targeting areas where volume loss and wrinkles are most prominent. As the PLLA particles are absorbed by the body, they trigger collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in skin appearance over weeks and months. To optimize collagen regeneration and achieve natural-looking results, the treatment occurs over two to four sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, 

Benefits of Sculptra®

Sculptra offers several unique advantages for patients seeking a gradual and long-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation:

• Natural-Looking Results: Sculptra stimulates your body’s collagen production, ensuring results develop gradually for subtle enhancements.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Sculptra can last up to two years or more, thanks to its collagen regeneration ability, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
• Restores Facial Volume: Effective for volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline, providing a natural lift and contour.
• Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Rebuilds the skin’s underlying structure, helping to smooth fine lines and deeper folds.
• Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: Sculptra is a convenient option with minimal downtime, making it accessible for those who prefer to avoid invasive procedures.

Areas Treated with Sculptra®

Sculptra can restore volume and smooth wrinkles in various facial areas, including:

• Cheeks: Restoring lost volume and creating a natural lift.
• Temples: Filling hollows and softening the temple area.
• Jawline: Defining and contouring for a youthful look.
• Nasolabial Folds: Reducing deep lines between the nose and mouth.
• Marionette Lines: Softening lines around the mouth and chin.

What to Expect During and After Treatment?

Your Sculptra treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which our skilled team will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan.

• The Procedure: Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle, with local anesthetic available for comfort. The entire procedure takes one to one and half hours, depending on the treatment areas.

• After Treatment: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. You can resume regular activities soon after treatment. As collagen stimulation begins, improvements in skin texture, volume, and firmness will become noticeable over several weeks.

• Results: Results appear gradually and naturally over time, with visible improvements after a couple of months and optimal results developing over several months. The effects can last up to two years, with maintenance involving 1-2 vials per year.
