Sculptra® Aesthetic

You're probably familiar with how most dermal fillers operate – they fill in the targeted area, providing an immediate lift or restoring lost volume. Sculptra, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Instead of delivering instant results, it's formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates collagen production within the skin. Sculptra stands out as the first facial injectable that offers gradual, natural-looking improvements as collagen is gradually restored over time. It's not a quick fix like some other fillers. For optimal results, Sculptra is administered in three sessions spread across three to four months, with the effects lasting up to two years!

Sculptra is highly effective for addressing a range of moderate to deeper facial lines and creases that commonly develop around the mouth. It is specifically designed to target and improve the appearance of the following types of lines:

Marionette Lines

These lines extend downward from the corners of your mouth, creating a sagging or downturned appearance. Sculptra can help lift and smooth these lines, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Parentheses Lines

Also known as nasolabial folds, these lines frame both sides of your mouth, giving the appearance of parentheses around your lips. Sculptra treatment can soften and fill these lines, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful facial contour.

Nasolabial Folds

These lines run from your nose down to the corners of your mouth and are often referred to as smile lines. Sculptra effectively addresses nasolabial folds, reducing their prominence and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Chin Wrinkles

Sculptra can also be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the chin area. By stimulating collagen production in this region, Sculptra helps minimize these lines and contributes to a more even and revitalized skin texture.

Sculptra's unique ability to stimulate collagen growth and provide gradual, natural-looking results makes it a versatile and effective treatment option for a variety of facial lines and creases, helping you achieve a refreshed and more youthful appearance.

At Direct Aesthetics, we understand that the Sculptra Aesthetic Facial Injectable Treatment Process is a unique journey for each patient. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable experience that leads to beautiful, natural-looking results. Here's an in-depth look at what to expect during your Sculptra treatment with us:

• Initial Consultation: Your Sculptra journey begins with an initial consultation at Direct Aesthetics. During this thorough assessment, we'll take the time to understand your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. Our skilled providers will then evaluate whether Sculptra is the right choice for you.

• Personalized Treatment Plan: After a careful evaluation, your Direct Aesthetics provider will create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique areas of concern. This plan will map out the number of Sculptra sessions you'll need to achieve your desired results.

• Treatment Sessions: Sculptra is designed to be a one-time treatment, consisting of up to four injection sessions, each spaced three weeks apart. Our experienced professionals will expertly administer the Sculptra solution in precise areas of your face.

• Injection Procedure: To ensure your utmost comfort during the procedure, we may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas. Using a fine needle, the Sculptra solution is skillfully injected into the predetermined locations as outlined in your personalized treatment plan. The injections are swift, typically making your office visit short and efficient.

• Recovery and Aftercare: Following your Sculptra injections, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These temporary side effects can often be concealed with makeup and should subside within a few days. It's not uncommon for your skin to feel slightly lumpy in the days following the treatment, but this is a natural part of the collagen-stimulating process. Rest assured that your safety and comfort are our top priorities at Direct Aesthetics.

• Collagen Stimulation: Sculptra is specially formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which acts as a collagen stimulator. Over the next several weeks and months, PLLA particles work to revitalize collagen production within your skin. This process gently lifts, firms, and smooths the treated areas, allowing for gradual and natural-looking results.

• Results: The transformation with Sculptra is not immediate. Instead, the full effects become visible over the course of several months. This gradual enhancement ensures that you achieve a naturally refreshed appearance that lasts for up to two years.

• Follow-Up Appointments: Our Direct Aesthetics team will schedule follow-up appointments as needed to monitor your progress and determine if any additional Sculptra sessions are necessary for maintaining your desired look.

Sculptra Aesthetic is an innovative facial injectable that offers unique and subtle results over time. Here's what you can expect regarding the results of Sculptra treatment:

Gradual and Natural: Sculptra is different from many other dermal fillers as its results are not immediate. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which works within the skin to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and volume to the skin. Sculptra gradually replaces lost collagen, resulting in a natural-looking and long-lasting improvement in your skin's appearance.

Multiple Sessions: Sculptra treatment typically consists of three injection sessions scheduled over three to four months. This staged approach allows collagen to rebuild gradually, delivering subtle and natural results.

Improved Skin Texture: Sculptra helps to improve the texture and quality of your skin. It can effectively smooth out moderate to deeper lines, such as marionette lines, parentheses lines, nasolabial folds, and chin wrinkles. These improvements occur over time, so your skin looks revitalized and more youthful.

Long-Lasting Results: After completing the recommended series of Sculptra sessions, the results can last up to two years. This long-lasting benefit means that you can enjoy the positive changes to your skin without frequent maintenance treatments.

Enhanced Facial Contours: Sculptra is not only effective for treating lines and wrinkles but can also add volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost their youthful plumpness, such as the cheeks.

The gradual nature of Sculptra's effects contributes to a natural, rejuvenated appearance. It is essential to follow the treatment schedule as recommended by your provider to achieve the best and longest-lasting results. Your specific results may vary depending on individual factors, such as age, skin condition, and treatment goals. Direct Aesthetics can provide more detailed information tailored to your unique situation during a consultation.

The frequency of Sculptra injections depends on your individual treatment plan and goals. Sculptra is typically administered in a series of up to four injection sessions, with each session spaced approximately three weeks apart. This schedule allows for the gradual buildup of collagen and the smoothing of lines and wrinkles over time. After the initial series of injections, results can last for up to two years. Your provider at Direct Aesthetics will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you to determine the most suitable schedule for your needs.
