What is Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic is a new type of facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to replace lost collagen. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles, and nasolabial folds, that appear with aging by replacing lost collagen. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades.

A full treatment of Sculptra Aesthetic, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, can last up to two years (individual results and treatment sessions can vary).  Results are subtle and gradual, allowing for a more natural progression of facial fullness and reduced wrinkles over time.

How is Sculptra Different from Traditional Fillers?

Traditional fillers diminish lines, wrinkles, and creases by filling in the space beneath these defects. The results are immediate.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen.  In other words, Sculptra actually replaces lost collagen and doesn’t just ‘fill in’ spaces.

Is Sculptra Right For You?

People experiencing facial hollowing either as a result of illness or aging are generally good candidates for Sculptra.  As we age and collagen levels are diminished, our skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity.  Sculptra can help gradually restore collage to give you a more youthful, firmer facial appearance.

Advantages of the Liquid Facelift

Reduces Wrinkles and Adds Volume

The Liquid Facelift uses a dense gel that is injected in problem areas of the face or neck. The gel works as a filler to correct saggy skin that has lost its volume and reduce deep wrinkles or fine lines.

A liquid facelift has a tightening effect on the skin so the face will have a younger appearance. The effects of the Liquid Facelift will improve in the weeks following the treatment, as collagen formation is also stimulated.

Safe

The solution used in the Liquid Facelift procedure has been tested and involves minimal risks of allergic reactions. The poly L lactic acid is compatible with the human skin and will be absorbed in the body without causing any adverse reactions.

No Scarring

The Liquid Facelift is a treatment that involves injecting a gel under the skin. The gel will not cause any skin damage and the needles used are thin and small, so there won’t be any marks left after the administration of the treatment.

No Surgery Needed

Liquid Facelift is a procedure that won’t require surgery, just a few injections. A Liquid Facelift may be performed without any anesthesia, as it causes a bit of pain that is bearable.

Is A Liquid Facelift Right For You?

The Liquid facelift can correct many different signs of aging including sagging skin and jowls, flattened cheeks, sagging corners of the mouth and more.  For some patients, the Liquid Facelift is used to lift the entire face. For others, it may be used to correct only specific problematic areas.

For example, bags can be masked under the eyes by using Liquid Facelift techniques; eyes can be opened up and lids lifted; jowls can be lifted and diminished; natural shape can be restored to flattened cheeks or temple areas; corners of the mouth can be lifted; as well as several other facial feature benefits.
