Sculptra Volumizing Injectable Filler

Salt Lake City LIVING WELL Magazine

Aging is a part of life, but just because we age does not mean we cannot still look and feel young. As we age, it is normal for skin to begin sagging around the cheeks, under the eyes, and surrounding the jaw line. Many people also experience a loss of facial fat, which causes skin flattening on the cheekbones and a reduction in the soft curves of the youthful face.

Sculptra™ is an excellent treatment for both men and women who want a more youthful appearance, without looking as though they have undergone a cosmetic procedure. It is a unique facial injectable that helps to gradually smooth out wrinkles and restore contour and volume to your face. Sculptra helps replace the lost collagen, and adds supple volume to help “lift” your cheekbones. Results may last up to two years.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a compound that has been safely used for the past 25 years in the form of absorbable stitches. Sculptra is biocompatible, so it is safe to use as it will be broken down naturally by your body. It has been widely used cosmetically in Europe for almost a decade.

It is important to remember that the long-term effects of this treatment are based on the body’s collagen production and how it responds to Sculptra injections. This collagen replenishment takes place over a period of several months, resulting in a progressively natural-looking improvement to your face, such as brighter, more luminescent skin.

The results of the treatments should last about two years. Depending on the amount of volume that you have lost, most people require at least two treatments to get the desired effect.
