What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is unique and differs from other injectables. It is a lattice that is injected into the skin to stimulate your own natural collagen production. Therefore, all of the collagen that is produced to restore your lost volume is your own and is 100% natural.

Uses for Sculptra

Sculptra is most commonly used in the face. However, it does an excellent job at improving the wrinkles on the chest which are most commonly formed by sleeping on your side or from sun damage. Sculptra combined with laser for the chest is one of the best treatments you can do to restore the youth and health of the chest skin.

What to Expect

The downside to using Sculptra is the length of time it takes to see results. Initially, you have some swelling and fullness from the injections. Unfortunately, that fades after a couple days. Patients then wait 6 to 12 months to see results as it takes the body this time to produce the new natural collagen. You will have a “Sculptra moment” where you look in the mirror and go, “Wow! I look good today!” The end result is a very natural, gradual look. Patients do not look overdone.

Sculptra is an excellent treatment for someone who is looking to restore the volume that has been lost due to the aging process and environmental factors such as sun damage. It is probably not ideal for someone who is looking for more immediate results since it takes time to grow the natural collagen. However, it is perfect if you are looking for the 100% natural option that is slow and gradual. This treatment is safe and effective at slowing the aging process while improving the tone and texture of the skin.

Sculptra is an excellent anti-aging treatment. Dr. Lloyd is considered an expert injector. Let her help you determine the most appropriate treatment to keep you looking your best so you Look Stunning. Always.
