How Sculptra compares to other injectable fillers offered in our Walnut Creek office
With the number of dermal fillers available today, it may seem an overwhelming task to discern how one differs from another. Several products are formulated with the same base ingredient, hyaluronic acid. At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute, it is important to us that you feel confident in your choice of treatment. When you consult with our experienced dermatologist, Dr. Christine Lee, you will be provided with the information you need to determine which treatment is right for you.
Facial aging is unavoidable
If only we could devise a plan to keep our skin looking smooth and vibrant forever! All men and women experience the effects of age and other factors that degrade the skin and underlying tissues. Elasticity is lost, and creases begin to form around the eyes, nose, and mouth. The corners of the mouth may turn downward, and the jaw line seems to droop. As these concerns pile up, so can your feelings of frustration. Although we cannot fully stop the progression of the aging process, there is much that can be done to slow it.
Why patients choose Sculptra
Sculptra is one of several options to fight the signs of aging. This injectable solution is different from other soft tissue fillers in a few ways. One, it achieves results that can last up to two years. Other products tend to last about 12 months. This longevity is achieved through a significant increase in collagen production, which is stimulated by Sculptra injections.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid. When injected into lines and creases, the filler plumps them for immediate improvement. However, the treated area continues to regain volume over time as collagen stores are rebuilt. Patients treated with this solution report as much as 80% improvement in their appearance with no adverse side effects. Like other fillers, treatment with Sculptra may cause temporary swelling and redness. This is barely noticeable and will not prevent normal activities.
