Are you looking to restore lost volume, smooth away wrinkles, and revive youthful radiance? Sculptra injections at Stoker Aesthetics in Los Angeles, California, can help you enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking volume restoration.
Sculptra is not a typical dermal filler, but a volumizer that stimulates collagen production. It not only addresses facial concerns but also offers a non surgical approach to improving cellulite dimpling, plumping withered hands, and achieving a more contoured buttocks profile.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a unique, FDA-approved injectable composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material. Unlike traditional fillers that simply fill wrinkles, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and fullness to areas of the face, hands, and body that have lost elasticity and youthful contours over time.
How Is Sculptra Different From Other Dermal Fillers?
While most dermal fillers provide immediate results by plumping up the skin, Sculptra takes a different approach. It is a collagen stimulator that works gradually over time, providing a more natural and long-lasting outcome.
Sculptra is injected deep within the dermis, where it triggers a subtle inflammatory response that encourages the production of new collagen fibers. As these fibers form, they gradually restore volume and fullness to the treated areas, creating a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
What Does Sculptra Treat?
Sculptra can be an excellent choice if you’re seeking:
Correction of deep facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines
Restoration of volume in the cheeks, temples, and other areas of the face
Rejuvenation of bony or veiny-looking hands
Sculptra for the Buttocks
Sculptra offers a non-surgical approach to buttocks augmentation when injected in larger volumes into the deeper layers of subcutaneous tissue, providing a more enhanced and contoured buttocks profile without the need for surgery.
We also use precise, superficial injections of Sculptra to improve the appearance of cellulite dimpling on the buttocks.
What Is a Treatment Like?
Sculptra treatments are relatively straightforward and well-tolerated by most patients. Sculptra is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. You may experience some mild discomfort, but a topical anesthetic can be applied to ensure your comfort.
Potential side effects may include swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.
What Can I Expect After a Sculptra Treatment?
After your Sculptra treatment, you can expect to see gradual improvements over the course of a few months as your body produces new collagen fibers. The treated areas will gradually appear fuller, smoother, and more youthful.
Most patients require a series of 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
How Long Do Results Last?
One of the most significant advantages of Sculptra is its long-lasting effects. Unlike some dermal fillers that require frequent touch-ups, Sculptra can provide results that endure for up to two years or more.
