Sculptra

Introduction

Introduction to Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulator that replenishes the body’s collagen supply, a skin-firming protein that dwindles with age. When injected, Sculptra helps fortify the underlying facial scaffolding, creating a more youthful, revitalized appearance. Triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist Dr. Lauren Moy in Los Angeles, CA, prioritizes natural-looking results and a compassionate, patient-centric approach.

What is Sculptra?

Formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), the same substance used in medical sutures, Sculptra has quickly become a go-to solution for restoring healthy skin volume at medspas worldwide. Rather than filling in folds, creases, and lines the way that dermal fillers do, Sculptra stimulates the body to produce more collagen, a key protein responsible for the suppleness, radiance, and vitality of youthful complexions.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Sculptra?

Sculptra is suitable for Los Angeles patients over the age of 18 who wish to target signs of aging non-invasively using one of today’s most innovative and powerful injectables. To qualify, patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations for their results, understanding that changes with Sculptra develop gradually as collagen production increases over time. Please note that Sculptra treatments should not be pursued by pregnant or nursing moms or by those prone to hypertrophic or keloid scarring. Our team will meet with you in Beverly Hills or Torrance for a private consultation to determine whether Sculptra is the best choice for accomplishing your goals.

What Are the Benefits of Sculptra?

Sculptra Aesthetic is more than a filler; it’s a volumizer. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide temporary improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, Sculptra is an anti-aging treatment that addresses volume loss underlying facial aging.

Sculptra comes with the following key benefits:

  • Gradually restores facial fullness and vitality
  • Non-invasive and non-surgical
  • No downtime or discomfort
  • Results can last as long as 24 months
  • Increases collagen output
  • Enhances skin tone and texture
  • Boosts confidence

What’s the First Step?

To begin your journey toward firmer, more youthful skin with Sculptra injections, you will first meet with Dr. Moy and her team in Los Angeles for a private consultation. This first visit will entail a thorough medical assessment and an exploration of your goals. Dr. Moy will answer all your questions with care and accuracy, making sure you have realistic expectations. There will also be time to discuss the possibility of combining your session with other aesthetic options to maximize your results. Finally, we will book your appointment at a time that is most convenient for you and let you know how to best prepare for your visit.

What to Expect on the Day of a Sculptra Treatment

Before injecting Sculptra, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to make your treatment more comfortable. After carefully mapping out your injection points according to your one-of-a-kind treatment plan, we will then administer the injectable to augment facial volume, erase signs of aging, and support a more youthful, vital facial structure. While some patients can achieve improvement in a single visit, most can benefit from around 3 appointments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
