Sculptra Aesthetic is a popular way to refresh the face among our patients at CaloSpa® in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, and Floyds Knobs, Indiana. Sculptra is an injectable filler designed to treat deep wrinkles and the loss of volume in the upper cheeks and temples. We can also use it to provide a nonsurgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL) or liquid BBL.
How Sculptra Aesthetic Works
Plastic surgeons know that the loss of skin elasticity and environmental effects, such as sun damage, are not the only causes of facial aging. The loss of volume is also a concern, creating a hollowed-out or sunken appearance that needs to be addressed to restore a more youthful look. In recent years, durable fillers, sometimes called “volumizers,” have been developed to restore that lost volume.
Sculptra is a biostimulator that triggers collagen and elastin production and is an excellent treatment for:
- Sunken cheeks and temples
- Deep folds between the nose and the mouth, called nasolabial folds or smile lines
- The lines that frame your mouth, called marionette lines
- Chin wrinkles
Once injected, Sculptra triggers a mild inflammatory reaction under the skin, prompting the body’s immune system to start producing collagen. The process gradually increases the amount of collagen being produced, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
Although the results don’t match those of surgical injectable fillers for overall rejuvenation.
