Sculptra

There are several differences in the manufacturing of each product. Because of this, each product behaves slightly differently and has unique dosages. Therefore, the three products are not interchangeable and should not be considered generic versions of each other.

Xeomin, for example, consists of the botulinum toxin in its purest form, while Dysport, Jeuveau, and Botox have other proteins as part of their structure. These differences affect the way each product diffuses after injection. The doctors at SkinDC are all experts at the assessment and application of each product, knowing which to choose for the best effect.

At SkinDC, we pride ourselves in having a variety of treatments available so that we may deliver the appropriate treatment for the appropriate patient rather than fitting patients to our treatments.

Sculptra stimulates the deep layers of your skin to produce new collagen, a protein that helps maintain the skin's strength, elasticity, and firmness.

As the PLLA microspheres in Sculptra are absorbed, they trigger a collagen renewal process, which helps gradually and naturally restore lost facial volume and smooth out deep lines and wrinkles.

Sculptra is primarily used to treat facial areas that have lost volume due to aging, such as the cheeks, the temples, and the chin. It can also soften deep lines and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette, and chin wrinkles.

Additionally, Sculptra has been used off-label for non-facial areas requiring volume enhancement.

Good candidates for Sculptra are individuals looking to improve signs of facial aging, such as volume loss and deep wrinkles, in a more gradual, natural-looking way.

It's suitable for people who prefer long-lasting results and are willing to wait for gradual improvement. A consultation with a qualified professional is the best way to determine if Sculptra is right for you.

The number of Sculptra sessions needed varies depending on the individual's skin condition, the treatment area, and the desired outcome. Most patients require three treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart.

A personalized treatment plan will be developed during your consultation to meet your specific needs.

Sculptra is injected into the targeted area using a fine needle during the treatment. The process typically takes about 30 minutes.

While some patients report mild discomfort, measures can be taken to minimize this, such as using a topical numbing cream.

Sculptra has minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Some patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside quickly.

Unlike immediate fillers, Sculptra results appear gradually over several months as your body produces new collagen.

Some patients begin to see improvements within a few weeks after the first treatment, with more significant results noticeable after completing the recommended series of treatments.

The results from Sculptra can last up to two years or more. Since Sculptra stimulates your collagen production, the effects are both natural-looking and long-lasting. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the desired outcome.
