Sculptra
As we age, we can lose collagen stores in our skin, which can result in wrinkles, lines, and sagginess. If you are looking for an effective, non-surgical solution to lines and wrinkles around the mouth and chin, Sculptra is a great option! This injectable treatment works to replace lost collagen over time, taking years off of your appearance for a rejuvenated look. Plus, there is no downtime, so you can return to your everyday activities right away! Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Walker has the skills and artistic eye to expertly inject Sculptra® to give you the beautiful results you desire.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that replaces lost collagen over time. It is made with a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is naturally absorbed by the body over time and helps to rebuild lost collagen. This acid is key to the amazing results Sculptra offers, as collagen is an important protein in the body that is used to support cell tissue for a more youthful appearance. This treatment can be used to soften the appearance of smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles for a refreshed look.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sculptra?
Healthy adults 18 years and older who wish to soften lines around their mouth can benefit from Sculptra treatments. You should not receive Sculptra injections if you have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring. The best way to determine if this treatment is right for you is through a consultation with Dr. Walker.
How are Sculptra Treatments Done?
During your Sculptra treatment, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be offered to ensure your comfort. Dr. Walker will then skillfully inject Sculptra into the targeted areas using a very fine needle. Overall, treatment is quick, taking about 15-20 minutes to complete.
The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment varies from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months for the best results.
Sculptra Recovery
Following Sculptra injections there is no downtime required, so you can return to your everyday routine right away. Redness, swelling, bruising, and itching and lumps may occur but should dissipate with time. Be sure to follow Dr. Walker’s specific instructions following injection to ensure the best possible outcome. Results will become visible gradually over the course of a few months and can last up to two years.
