At West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer Sculptra® Aesthetic, a revolutionary treatment that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to restore facial volume, smooth fine lines, and achieve long-lasting, youthful results. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate but temporary results, Sculptra works gradually and promotes collagen renewal, delivering subtle and natural improvements that develop over time.
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 key structural protein in the skin, responsible for maintaining its firmness, elasticity, and volume. As we age, our collagen levels naturally decline, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra® works by encouraging your skin to produce its own collagen. This process gradually restores the skin’s inner structure, providing long-lasting results that can last up to two years or more.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra is administered through a series of injections, targeting areas of the face where volume loss and wrinkles are most prominent. As the PLLA particles are absorbed by the body, they trigger the production of new collagen, which gradually improves the skin’s appearance over several weeks and months.
The treatment is typically performed over the course of two to four sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, to allow for optimal collagen regeneration and natural-looking results.
Benefits of Sculptra®
Sculptra offers a number of unique advantages for patients seeking a more gradual and long-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation:
- Natural-Looking Results: Because Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, the results appear gradually over time, ensuring a subtle, natural enhancement.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Unlike traditional fillers that need frequent touch-ups, Sculptra can last up to two years or more, thanks to its ability to regenerate collagen and restore facial volume from within.
- Restores Facial Volume: Sculptra is especially effective for addressing facial volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. It provides a natural lift and contour, reversing signs of aging.
- Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By rebuilding the skin’s underlying structure, Sculptra helps smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and deeper folds, particularly in areas like the nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and marionette lines.
- Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for patients who want to avoid the risks and recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
Areas Treated with Sculptra®
Sculptra can be used to restore volume and smooth wrinkles in a variety of facial areas, including:
- Cheeks: Restores lost volume and creates a natural lift.
- Temples: Fills hollows and softens the appearance of the temple area.
- Jawline: Helps define and contour the jawline for a more youthful look.
- Nasolabial Folds: Reduces deep lines between the nose and mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Softens lines around the mouth and chin.
What to Expect During and After Treatment?
Your Sculptra treatment will begin with a thorough consultation, where our skilled team at West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
The Procedure: During your appointment, Sculptra is injected into targeted areas of the face using a fine needle. To ensure your comfort, a local anesthetic may be used. The entire procedure takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
After Treatment: You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most patients are able to resume their regular activities immediately following the treatment. As the collagen-stimulating process begins, you will gradually notice improvements in your skin’s texture, volume, and firmness over the course of a few weeks.
Results: Since Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production, the results appear gradually and naturally over time. You’ll begin to see noticeable improvements in facial volume and skin texture after a few weeks, with optimal results achieved after your full course of treatment. The effects can last for up to two years or more, making Sculptra a long-term solution for facial rejuvenation.
