The Beauty and Science of Sculptra
May 15, 2023
The technology and research behind rejuvenation treatments, procedures, and skin care has seen remarkable advancements in a short time. There are more ways to fight wrinkles and fine lines, smooth and tone skin, restore volume, and maintain youthful vitality than ever before. And with so many options, understanding the differences can feel impossible! Here is an insight into what Sculptra is and does.
Not All Dermal Fillers Are Alike
Like it or not, the aging process will catch up with us eventually. Loss of collagen and elastin that give our skin youthful volume and glow means fine lines and wrinkles develop. Exposure and time add to the exponential aging of our skin.
Fortunately, technology provides us with several ways to slow — and even reverse — the signs of aging. Dermal fillers continue to increase in popularity and prevalence, but not all are equal. Sculptra is a revolutionary treatment that taps into our natural regenerative process to help replenish collagen. Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra targets and impacts an underlying cause of aging, not just the symptoms.

The Collagen Champion
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and plays a vital role in many functions and structures, including skin. FDA-approved Sculptra helps restore volume by replacing lost collagen subtly and gradually. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen stimulator, that helps address the root cause of aging deep within the skin. Sculptra triggers collagen production to restore lost volume while minimizing wrinkles, folds, and sunken areas.
People who want to restore youthful volume and vitality to their skin often choose Sculptra for its gradual enhancements.
Subtle and Remarkable
Sculptra injections are naturally absorbed by the body and help to rebuild lost collagen over time. Sculptra treatments target the relevant dermal plane via injections where collagen supports the skin structure.
Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen over time, with incremental skin improvements. Noticeable and progressive enhancements occur within eight to twelve weeks after treatments. There are several variables to consider depending on the extent of the collagen restoration needed and your specific goals. Sculptra typically involves an average of three treatment sessions over a few months for optimal results, but Kelly McMahon can tailor the sessions to you.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation
By repairing the root cause of aging and ensuring thorough coverage, Sculptra results involve an overall improvement, plumping shallow areas, restoring youthful contours, and thickening the skin.
Sculptra produces natural results by stimulating collagen production, unlike other injectables that act as fillers. Although collagen development can take some time, the gradual onset of improvements gives patients a more natural look rather than appearing over-filled. And because Sculptra essentially rebuilds the infrastructure of the face, it offers longer-lasting benefits. Results can endure for two years or more!
Natural Skin Renewal
By holistically leveraging bodily responses, Sculptra helps reverse the signs of aging more naturally than other fillers — lifting, toning, smoothing, plumping, and revitalizing skin. A series of easy, in-office injections, each of which can occur during lunch hour, and little to no downtime makes Sculptra a preferred anti-aging treatment.
In the world of unique gels that highlight our best features, accentuate our contours, and restore the fullness lost with age, biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra are becoming increasingly popular for their more natural skin renewal properties and the longevity of results.
