The cost of dermal fillers such as Sculptra varies based on the quantity required to attain your desired results. Certain patients might require multiple treatments to reach their ideal outcome. Your injector will discuss your objectives during the initial consultation and design a treatment plan tailored to your specific budget.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), the primary component in Sculptra, acts as a collagen stimulator. It aids in replenishing the skin's strength and volume gradually by promoting the generation of collagen. This surplus collagen effectively diminishes lines, wrinkles, and folds by providing effective plumping action.
Sculptra, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and widely used globally since 1999, has demonstrated safety in its usage. Generally, side effects are mild and temporary, encompassing slight pain, bruising, redness, and swelling. Occasionally, pressure on the treated area may lead to a bump. If any concerns arise regarding unusual or prolonged side effects, don't hesitate to contact our office for assistance.
Opting for a dermal filler such as Sculptra can effectively enhance the look of lines and wrinkles. It's commonly employed to address chin wrinkles, lines around the mouth, and deeper folds like the nasolabial folds. Typically, individuals consider Sculptra treatment from their early 30s to late 50s, yet it remains a safe option for most men and women aged 18 and above.
Achieving longer-lasting outcomes may necessitate multiple Sculptra treatments for some patients. In contrast to various dermal fillers, Sculptra offers extended duration, typically maintaining results for up to two years. Given that collagen production continues post-Sculptra injections, noticeable results might require some time to fully manifest.
