Frequently Asked Questions About Sculptra® in West Palm Beach, Florida
Is Sculptra® a dermal filler?
Sculptra® is not just another dermal filler; it is a biostimulatory aesthetic injectable that helps stimulate your natural collagen production. It gradually restores your skin foundation, improves skin tightness, and smooths facial wrinkles over time.
How long do Sculptra® results last?
As early as one month after treatment, patients can see results from Sculptra® that typically last up to two years. Most patients experience natural-looking firmness and improved skin quality with long-lasting effects.
Who can benefit from a Sculptra® treatment?
A trained provider can safely administer FDA-approved Sculptra® easily and safely in healthy patients — as well as in patients with chronic medical conditions. Although Sculptra® does not require allergy testing, those with allergies should discuss their concerns with our patient counselor during a consultation. Patients who are under 18, pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding are not good candidates for Sculptra®.
How does Sculptra® work?
As an injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra® gradually restores your skin foundation, improves skin tightness, smooths facial wrinkles, and enhances skin quality over time.
How does Sculptra® differ from other dermal fillers?
Unlike other dermal fillers, creams, or even cosmetic surgery, Sculptra® addresses the underlying source of facial aging. Instead of masking the visible signs of facial wrinkles, Sculptra eliminates wrinkly skin from its source.
