A loss of volume in the face is the number one indicator that a person is getting older. It causes you to have wrinkles and lines as well as sagging skin. Sculptra can help San Diego residents to get back some of their youth and fight the aging process. Sculptra is a long-lasting anti-aging treatment that is helping many individuals in our area to look and feel their best.

Sculptra is an injectable that encourages the body to create more collagen. As this collagen is created, a person is going to notice that they have more volume in the area where the product was injected. This means that there will be fewer lines and wrinkles. It means that there will be more lift and volume. And a person will notice that they get back some of their youthful facial contours.

How long can you expect your treatment to last? This is something that is important to consider when you start comparing all of the different cosmetic treatments that are available, especially when it comes to dermal fillers. Most individuals who use Sculptra can expect that the treatment will last about two years. However, this is not a treatment that is going to completely stop the aging process. So you may need some touch-up treatments in the future, or you may need to combine these treatments with others to get the best results.

Many wonder if this is a treatment that is going to replace BOTOX injections. It is important for our San Diego clients to understand that these products work in different ways. BOTOX is going to treat the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Sculptra is going to help produce more collagen in the areas that are injected, so it will add lift and volume. What we have seen is that when a person uses Sculptra, they do not necessarily need as much BOTOX in order to get the best results.

Many have found that when they use BOTOX and Sculptra together, they are able to achieve some of the benefits that come from having a facelift. Of course, they are able to get these amazing results without going through surgery.

We invite San Diego residents to schedule a consultation at Torrey Pines Dermatology. One of our experienced specialists is going to closely examine your skin and ask you questions about your overall health. They will listen closely as they ask you about your specific goals. If you would like to improve your cheeks, jawline, and forehead, Sculptra may be the best option for you. We have found that it can help you to restore your entire face to a much more youthful appearance. It will be injected in just the right areas to help you get some of your youth back.

Since this is a treatment that stimulates collagen production, you do not have to worry about dealing with negative reactions. You can get right back to work and your normal routine right after the treatment is done. Please contact Torrey Pines Dermatology in La Jolla to learn more about Sculptra and the amazing anti-aging benefits that can provide!

As you get older, your body produces less collagen, which can take away your youthful appearance. Sculptra® treatments are effective at stimulating collagen production, so they can reduce the signs of aging and make you look younger.

The loss of collagen is one of the major effects of the aging process. Many patients have heard about collagen, but don’t understand how it affects their skin. As a chemical compound, collagen increases skin elasticity and makes it feel firmer.

Your skin elasticity determines how well it’s able to bounce back after it’s pulled. The aging process causes your body’s collagen production to slow down, and as a result, you end up with sagging skin and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are frequently used to reverse the effects of aging because they’re effective at restoring lost volume. Since Sculptra® is a dermal filler, it’s able to replace lost collagen, but it’s slightly different than most other dermal fillers.

Unlike other dermal fillers, this injectable aims to replace lost collagen naturally. The treatment process is simple, and the results can last for two years.

How Sculptra® Treatments Work

Once injected, most dermal fillers provide instant results. However, this treatment is different because it provides gradual results. The benefits take longer to appear, but they tend to last significantly longer than what you’d get from alternative dermal fillers.

The purpose of Sculptra® is to naturally stimulate the growth of collagen. During the procedure, the formula is injected into the target areas, and the chemical compounds are slowly absorbed by the body.

Over time, the formula stimulates the growth of collagen in areas with skin depressions and wrinkles. Patients need to know that the benefits of Sculptra® can take many weeks to appear, but once they appear, the results will last a long time. In addition to improvements in volume loss, the skin texture and complexion improves as well.

Are You a Candidate?

Sculptra® treatments are only approved for specific areas of the face. An ideal candidate should be in good health and have realistic expectations for the treatment. A person’s candidacy for this treatment will ultimately be determined during a consultation at our office.
