Facial Volume Loss

Today there are treatments that help restore your skin’s inner structure for a more youthful and natural looking appearance. This is something that everyone is interested in and the popularity continues to grow.

One of those treatments is called Scuptra^®. It is a dermal filler that contains poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) and is used for soft tissue augmentation. When injected in to the face it stimulates your own body to produce collagen, which assists in rebuilding the inner structure of the skin and volume restoration.

Sculptra is a unique treatment that works gradually in a course of a few months to help restore your skin’s inner structure for a more youthful and natural looking appearance. It can help to restore volume to the temples, cheeks, nasal folds (smile lines), jawline and chin.

Cellulite and Loose Skin

Cellulite affects nearly 80- 90% of women and this is caused by the connective tissue under the skin. In women, the fat cells and connective tissue in this layer are arranged vertically. When the fat cells protrude into the layer of skin, this gives the appearance of cellulite.

Since Sculptra can restore volume, it can be used in the dimples or pockets of cellulite. The new collagen that is generated will help the overall appearance by making it smoother and firmer.

Sculptra Butt Lift

There is a new butt-lift that is gaining popularity, which utilizes Sculptra dermal filler. There has been an increase in noninvasive options to treat most areas of your body, and now there are solutions that doesn’t call for “going under the knife”.

Sculptra is being used off-label (meaning for a purpose other than what the FDA approved it for) to give your backside a fuller, natural looking, more lifted appearance without the risks or downtime associated with more invasive procedures.

It can also help those patients that do not want a bigger backside, however they would like to smooth out the dimples. Most patients will need 3–4 treatments before they see results.

You too can have smoother, tighter skin and a more youthful appearance. Take advantage of this great technology today.
