Sculptra

Dermal fillers can achieve incredible results - add volume, smooth lines, and return you to your younger self. But the downside is that those results will always fade within a year. Sculptra offers something special - a filler plus collagen stimulator that actually triggers your own collagen production. Why is this so remarkable? Because you’ll naturally anti-age with your own body’s response, and results can last up to 2 years.

Sculptra contains FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid, which both reduces wrinkles and prompts fresh collagen to grow in the area. You’ll both see immediate results and longer-term changes as your collagen redevelops.

Our cosmetic injector, Dr. Amjad Alkadri, is an expert in anti-aging and has been providing his patients with predictable, natural-looking results for many years.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

At your consultation, Dr. Alkadri will provide any precautions or notes for you to follow leading up to your injection. These may include –

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment

• Don’t take painkillers in advance, as these can make you more likely to bruise due to blood thinning effects.

• Tell your provider any medications you’re taking - it may be beneficial to avoid topical anti-aging products.

• Avoid sun exposure for at least a week before treatment as we won’t be able to inject sunburned skin.

• Arrive at the office with your face washed and makeup-free.

Sculptra Treatment Steps

• Consultation – Your doctor will discuss your anti-aging goals and consider which injection sites and number of syringes will be ideal. You’ll also be able to ask any questions you have about treatment and receive detailed answers before moving forward.

• Facial marking – Your provider will examine your face, clean it and mark the injection sites to plan their approach. They may also numb the injection area to help prevent discomfort.

• Injections – Your doctor will inject the appropriate areas with a very thin needle.

• You’ll receive a certain number of injections depending on the treatment areas and the severity of the wrinkle or volume loss.

• Treatment will typically take about 20-30 minutes.

Sculptra FAQ

How are Sculptra results different from other filler results?

While we typically refer to Sculptra as a filler, it’s technically a bio-stimulatory filler. This means that not only is it immediately filling lines, it’s also triggering future collagen production. With other fillers, you’ll see immediate results that then fade over time (typically disappearing within 6-12 months). Sculptra delivers the same immediate change, but then continues to stimulate new collagen. This means that Sculptra clients enjoy gradual, natural-looking anti-aging that takes hold over the coming months. These results can then last up to 2 years. It’s a radically different experience from traditional fillers, and ideal for those looking for a longer-term investment in their anti-aging. The collagen production can actually help improve your skin’s texture as well.

How long will my results last?

Sculptra results typically last up to 2 years, far longer than other fillers because of its bio-stimulatory effect.
