Cosmetic injectables are a leading treatment for age-related volume loss and wrinkles. Sculptra Aesthetic is a long-lasting, one-of-a-kind product that can restore your youthful appearance and self-confidence. It works within your body to replace lost collagen, enhancing contours in the targeted areas long after the initial treatment.
Read on to learn more about the benefits of non-surgical facial contouring in Austin and what makes Sculptra such an effective solution for various concerns.
What Is Sculptra, and How Does It Work?
Sculptra consists of a substance called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—the same thing medical manufacturers use to make absorbable sutures. When Dr. Yula Indeyeva introduces PLLA into strategically selected areas of your face, your body will gradually break down the PLLA particles and replace them with collagen.
Over the next four to six weeks, you will notice Sculptra reducing the parentheses lines and marionette lines that form around your mouth while creating noticeably smoother, tighter skin in areas like your temples, cheeks, and jawline.
How Is Sculptra Different Than Dermal Fillers?
Sculptra and dermal fillers are two excellent anti-aging products that serve similar purposes but work differently. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume by physically filling in wrinkles and lines; Sculptra stimulates collagen production over time for a gradual improvement that can last up to two years.
Depending on your concerns, you can combine Sculptra with fillers in a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that includes non-surgical eye rejuvenation and lip plumping.
Which Facial Regions Benefit Most from Sculptra Treatments?
Sculptra can enhance multiple facial areas in one quick, in-office session. Dr. Indeyeva commonly uses this injectable to treat the following:
- Hollow temples
- Sunken cheeks
- Marionette lines
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline
How Does Sculptra Improve the Cheeks and Jawline?
For many people, the effects of aging include a loss of midface volume. As the fat pads in the cheeks shift downward, they blur the line of demarcation between the jawline and neck. Sculptra can provide natural-looking cheek enhancement and jawline definition by stimulating collagen production.
Can Sculptra Be Effective for Enhancing the Temporal Region?
Volume loss in your temples can change your overall face shape by causing drooping brows and skin laxity around your eyes and cheeks. Sculptra is an excellent temporal region filler because the resulting collagen stimulation corrects hollowed areas and makes your skin thicker and more resilient.
What Makes the Nasolabial Folds a Prime Target for Sculptra?
Nasolabial folds, also known as parentheses lines, can be frustrating. As these wrinkles deepen with age, they can make you look years older. Sculptra corrects the primary cause of skin laxity, gradually creating nasolabial folds improvement.
Is Sculptra Suitable for Chin Augmentation and Definition?
Skin laxity and sagging along the jawline may lead to jowls and the appearance of a weak chin. For some people, Sculptra is a good alternative to surgical chin augmentation. Dr. Indeyeva can use precise amounts of this product to smooth and define the contours of your lower face.
How Does Sculptra Address Age-Related Volume Loss in the Midface?
Midface volume loss can create a gaunt appearance. Reverse this issue with a Sculptra cheek enhancement. The new collagen will serve as a scaffolding for your skin, improving its overall resilience and restoring a smooth, youthful texture and plumpness.
What Are the Benefits of Sculptra for Softening Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines—caused by repeated facial expressions—pull down the corners of your mouth, giving you a permanent frown when your face is at rest. They result from lost skin elasticity and the effects of gravity, which contribute to sagging. Marionette lines reduction with Sculptra will uplift your face by making you look happier.
What Benefits Does Sculptra Hold Over Surgical Methods?
While Dr. Indeyeva’s expertly performed facelifts and deep structural neck lifts can provide dramatic, natural-looking results, many patients want to minimize the expenses, downtime, and potential risks associated with surgery. If you are experiencing less advanced signs of aging and would like to slow them down, you may be an ideal candidate for Sculptra treatments.
Since Sculptra injectables are a brief, painless, in-office procedure, you can resume your daily schedule immediately after your appointment. You won’t need any time off for recovery, and the side effects are mild and temporary. Additionally, Sculptra injections do not require anesthesia, incisions, or sutures.
