Sculptra Injectable Fillers

Patients who wish to lessen the signs of aging and achieve rejuvenated appearances often speak with their plastic surgeon about top injectable fillers, such as Sculptra. Sculptra is a leading injectable filler that has been used since 1999 to treat skin folds, indentations in the chin surfaces, hollowed cheeks and sunken eyes. In addition, Sculptra is used to treat nasolabial folds, or deep wrinkles along the sides of the mouth that severely contribute to an overall aged appearance.

Sculptra provides long-lasting results that can last for two years after the initial procedure. Patients typically need three to six treatment session before achieving the full results of Sculptra, which can offer 80 percent improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds.

Prior to the procedure, the plastic surgeon or dermatologist will identify the ideal locations for injection to encourage the most natural-looking results possible. Then, the doctor will determine the right amount of Sculptra to help patients achieve the looks they desire. Once the doctor is prepared for the procedure, he or she will administer the predetermined amount of Sculptra into the injection sites, making sure the injectable filler is administered underneath the dermis and subcutis layers of skin. After the procedure is complete, patients are advised to apply an ice pack to minimize swelling and to gently massage the area to ensure even distribution of Sculptra.

Sculptra is one of the top requested injectable filler procedures in the country. Many patients eliminate years off of their face with top injectable fillers, like Botox, Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm and Dysport. In some instances, patients supplement their facial rejuvenation procedures with injectable fillers. Many recovered facelift patients receive injectable fillers to maintain their rejuvenated appearances and look more rested and refreshed.
