Wrinkles are not the only sign of facial aging. Another prominent indicator of the passing years is a loss of facial volume. The cheeks, temples, chin, and areas around the mouth and eyes may develop hollows that give your face a gaunt look. Sculptra® Aesthetic can fill out these facial hollows and redefine your facial contours, providing youthful results that can last two years or longer.
What Is Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a facial injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®, Sculptra® Aesthetic works to create noticeable results over time. This injectable is transmitted deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production so that the skin can restore itself.
Like other facial fillers, Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected into the skin as a one-time treatment in the doctor’s office. However, this filler works differently than other popular fillers. Sculptra® Aesthetic triggers new collagen formation to gradually fill in hollows as well as deep wrinkles and folds. Instead of treating the symptoms of aging, Sculptra® Aesthetic addresses the cause—lost collagen—and helps the skin to renew itself. This treatment can fill out hollows, chin wrinkles, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and marionette lines (laugh lines).
The Benefits of Sculptra® Aesthetic
Not all fillers are created equal, and each has their individual strengths. Sculptra® Aesthetic is one of the few dermal fillers that can adequately address facial volume loss. Because it penetrates deep and renews the skin from the inside out, Sculptra® Aesthetic produces youthful, natural-looking results. Results from treatment with Sculptra® Aesthetic can last an unparalleled length of two years or longer.
