Ready for something completely different? Sculptra® Aesthetic is a unique injectable dermal collagen stimulator that creates gradual, long-lasting results.* It’s a great option for men and women seeking a subtle improvement rather than an immediate change.* A Sculptra treatment with our Fullerton dermatologist typically requires 3 injections over the course of several months.* With each injection, results develop further, and your final look can last for more than 2 years; although each patient is unique.*
*Results may vary.
About Scultpra Aesthetic
As we age, our skin produces less collagen, which contributes to sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. The active ingredient in Sculptra, poly-L-lactic acid, encourages collagen production by providing a support structure for collagen to grow.* The growth of new collagen isn’t an overnight process, and each of our Sculptra patients typically requires a series of 3 injections — but the wait is worth it.* Over time, Sculptra restores supple volume to lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas.* Eventually, the poly-L-lactic acid is naturally metabolized by the body, leaving behind naturally occurring collagen.*
Poly-L-lactic acid is the same ingredient used in dissolvable stitches, so the safety of Sculptra is well established. It is FDA approved and has been used around the world since 1999.
Treatment
Sculptra is appropriate for most facial lines, wrinkles, and folds of various depths.*
There’s minimal downtime following a treatment with Sculptra, but some patients report injection site reactions including redness, tenderness, swelling, or bumps.* These are generally mild and short-lived.* During your consultation, our dermatologist will work with you to determine whether Sculptra is the right approach to meet your cosmetic goals.
