Sculptra: Is it right for you?

As we lose volume, the boney structures of our face become more prominent. This process makes our facial features become hardened as we lose the softness of youthful volume. As facial volume loss progresses throughout the decades, we begin to see hollowing in the temples and the area in front of our ears below our cheekbones. This can be improved with the use of Sculptra.

Sculptra is a suspension of Poly-L Lactic Acid in sterile water. It promotes the production of collagen and will softly add volume surrounding those boney prominences. The injections of Sculptra are often repeated at two weeks and the results will improve over the course of 6-8 weeks. Sculptra studies show results lasting up to two years.

Typically women in their late forties begin showing these signs, and with society striving for more lean mass, I am seeing the need in much younger women. Come in for a comprehensive assessment of your face and see what products are right for you. We have an amazing promotion for Sculptra this month, so call for a free consultation today.
