I often get the questions, “Is Sculptra a filler?” and “How is Sculptra different?” Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator. It binds to your own collagen producing cells to wake them up to start producing collagen. Similar to how results with collagen stimulating lasers take 4-6 weeks to see results, so does Sculptra. Sculptra helps lift the jawline and neck and restores facial volume. Results can last for more than two years. Multiple sessions may be needed. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur. Downtime: None.
Sculptra rebuilds the inner structure of the skin over time to replenish lost volume with results that are seen gradually. Sculptra has shown to have incredible results for crepey chest skin that may result from side sleeping, sun damage or aging. Multiple treatments may be necessary. Downtime: None.
Aesthetic procedures and avoiding sun exposure are not the only “must-do’s” for anti-aging. Washing the face, regular facials and the right products are vital to maintaining healthy, youthful skin over time.
My patients know I’m all about results! Though I believe in a good cleanser and moisturizer, I push more products that are active. What does that mean? Active ingredients are “actively” enhancing, changing, increasing and protecting the skin at the cellular level. Whether it’s protecting your skin from sun and environmental damage or protecting cell repair and increasing cell turnover at night, I am a fan of products that are DOING SOMETHING! I have included products on this page that are tried and true; some are new, but mostly they are my favorites and they WORK!
