Sculptra Fillers New Orleans - Tell me about Sculptra

During the natural aging process, skin will lose its full, firm and youthful look. The skin will also become damaged, thinner or may lose its natural flexibility, and the fat tissue that helps to fill the face will eventually be lost. Consequently, the face will become thinner and tapered, and will start to wrinkle.

By using Sculptra, your facial contour can be restored and be free from disturbing lines and wrinkles without surgery. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid. It is a biodegradable filler that stimulates the patient’s own collagen over time. Sculptra is FDA approved for facial lipoatrophy (a loss of fat as a result of certain chronic diseases and from some medications for HIV disease), as well as to improve facial lines and folds. Sculptra is considered more of a dermal thickening device rather than a conventional filler. The treatment is performed every four to eight weeks and several sessions are needed. Unlike other fillers, there is little improvement after just one session or in a few weeks’ time. Rather, the unique quality of Sculptra is its ability to give a natural softening of those aging folds and shadows over three to six months. Once the correction is visible, it will last over two years, which is truly unique. It is the optimal filler for anyone wanting a very gradual, natural and durable correction.

Sculptra also firms the skin and gives a lifting effect to the jaw line and cheek bones. Sculptra is ideal if you look tired and gaunt because of illness, weight loss or genetics. It is a great way to make your face look fuller without gaining unwanted pounds on your body. Most Sculptra patients are between 35 and 65 years of age. Sculptra is mixed with lidocaine to decrease the pain on injection. Most patients require two to six vials over two to 12 months.

Sculptra is recommended if you want to bring back the contours of the face or compensate for natural signs of aging. There are many factors that determine the number of Sculptra treatments that are right for you. Treatments must be discussed with a qualified dermatologist to ensure the best results.
