Sculptra®
Sculptra is a revolutionary injectable cosmetic treatment designed to address facial volume loss and enhance skin’s natural elasticity over time. Unlike many traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra® is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, an ingredient that is biocompatible and can ultimately stimulate collagen production to promote gradual, yet long-lasting, rejuvenation. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines, restore youthful facial contours, or improve skin texture, Sculptra® offers a natural and effective solution that will be tailored to your unique needs.
Dr. Max Lehfeldt and our team here at Radiance Medical Spa are proud to offer Sculptra® as part of our vast selection of injectables and dermal fillers. If you would like to schedule a consultation to find out if Sculptra® is ideal for your cosmetic enhancement goals, please contact us today.
What Are the Benefits of Sculptra Injections?
Sculptra® can benefit both women and men affected by lipoatrophy (signs of “hollowness” in facial features that have lost volume and fullness) and other common concerns. This injectable solution’s composition makes it possible for the aesthetic results to look very natural and to last exceptionally long periods of time, even up to two years for some patients. Sculptra® is capable of:
- Restoring facial volume and stimulating natural collagen production
- Improving skin texture, tightness, firmness, and elasticity over time
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles, “sunken” cheeks, and hollow temples
- Diminishing signs of nasolabial folds
- Enhancing volume and refining contour in the jawline
During your initial consultation, our experienced provider can determine whether Sculptra® is the best possible option to help you meet your needs.
What Does the Sculptra® Treatment Process Involve?
During the procedure, the Sculptra® solution will be delicately injected into the targeted areas. The injections are relatively quick and minimally invasive, usually completed within 30 to 45 minutes. To ensure comfort, a numbing agent may be applied to the treatment area. A series of two to four treatment sessions, spaced apart over several weeks, may be recommended for optimal results and the most natural-looking rejuvenation.
After the procedure, some extent of mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treatment areas can be expected; however, these effects typically resolve within a few days. Sculptra treatments do not usually require a long period of downtime—many patients return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
How Long Do Sculptra Results Last?
Sculptra® works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, replenishing lost volume over time. One of the major benefits of Sculptra® is the fact that it is designed to provide gradual and natural-looking results. While initial improvements may be subtle, the treatment’s effects should become more apparent over the course of several weeks as collagen production increases.
Once the desired outcome is reached, the results can last up to two years, making Sculptra® an enduring solution for facial rejuvenation. Patients often report smoother, firmer skin with a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. This gradual transformation can ensure that enhancements appear natural, avoiding an “overdone” look.
How Much Does Sculptra® Cost?
Sculptra® typically costs $750 per syringe at our practice*; however, the total price of treatment varies among patients based on each individual’s unique, customized treatment plan. Once your skin has been evaluated and the treatment plan has been developed, a member of our team here at the practice of Dr. Max Lehfeldt, MD can produce a cost estimate and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in financing your Sculptra® procedure, we offer access to third-party financing through CareCredit®, which can help qualified applicants pay for their treatment in a series of installments.
