Sculptra
What is Sculptra? Sculptra is a long-acting subcutaneous filler made from poly-L-lactic acid that is used to replace lost collagen and help correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
How is sculptra injected? Sculptra is injected into the deep tissues of your face, including the cheek area, and into the smile lines around the mouth, to gradually add volume and correct age related soft tissue descent and volume loss. One of the early signs of aging is volume loss in your facial fat compartments, laxity of facial muscles and thinning of skin.
How long does Sculptra last? Sculptra can improve your natural facial contour, and provide a subtle lift that lasts up to 2 years. A full treatment with Sculptra Aesthetic requires an average of three injection sessions which occur over a few months at NCPS in Bergen County. The poly-L-lactic acid is then absorbed causing a tissue reaction which results in new collagen formation. Sculptra provides you with subtle improvements over time without giving you away. So if you are interested in a soft tissue filler but do not want anyone notice any immediate changes in your appearance, than Sculptra Aesthetic is right for you.
Sculptra injections are a routine treatment performed by Dr. Capuano near you in Bergen County, New Jersey.
What are Injectable Fillers?
What are injectable fillers? Injectable Fillers, like Sculptra (Dermal or subcutaneous fillers) are substances that are injected just below the surface of the skin or in deeper planes of your face to help diminish facial lines, wrinkles and scars, and restore volume and fullness to the face. They can be used as an alternative to surgery or may be used to complement a surgical procedure to help you look your best.
Young healthy skin contains an abundance of collagen and hyaluronic acid which help your skin maintain its youthful fullness by holding water. As you age, your skin may start to produce less of these substances, and will start to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted wrinkles and folds. Fillers add volume to your skin for a more natural, youthful appearance.
