Sculptra®in Austin

When injected into the skin, Sculptra® stimulates your body's natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein naturally found in your skin and helps keep it firm and elastic. As you age, your body produces less collagen, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of facial volume.

Sculptra® helps to counteract this natural aging process by triggering your body to produce more collagen. The PLLA-SCA microspheres in Sculptra® act as a scaffold, supporting the growth of new collagen fibers. Over time, the PLLA-SCA is absorbed by your body, leaving behind only the new collagen produced.

Before the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the injection process. Sculptra® is then injected into the targeted areas of the face using a fine needle.

The number of injections needed will depend on the individual's goals and the severity of their skin concerns. Two to three treatment sessions are typically recommended, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
