Sculptra Treatments and How They Work | Casey Powell PA

-
Sculptra is an industry mainstay that has been around for years and continues to produce results that “wow.”   Sculptra is the perfect option for today’s active individual rather than traditional invasive surgery that involves high cost, surgery, anesthesia, and downtime.  Below are the most frequently asked questions about Sculptra. 

Sculptra Treatment In Atlanta


1 - What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is different than Hyaluronic Fillers.   Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable biostimulator that binds to your own collagen producing cells to wake them up to start producing collagen.  Similar to how results with collagen stimulating lasers take 4-6 weeks to see results, so does Sculptra.  Sculptra lifts the treatment area and restores volume over time. Results become visible after 6 to 8 weeks and results can last for more than two years.
2 – Which Areas Can Be Treated with Sculptra?
Sculptra can be administered to any area of the body that requires replacement of lost volume.  Sculptra is a popular option to restore facial volume often impacted by natural aging.  Sculptra Décolletage continues to grow in popularity.  Finally, more people are opting for the Sculptra Butt Lift rather than the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a much more expensive procedure involving surgery, anesthesia, and downtime.  
3 – Is There Downtime with Sculptra?
Aside from minor swelling at the injection site, there is no downtime associated with Sculptra.   In fact, many people get their Sculptra treatments during their lunch hours and are able to return to work afterward.


4 – How Much Does Sculptra Cost?
This mainly depends on each individual injector as well as the areas of treatment.   Some injectors price their treatments solely by the syringe or the treatment area, while others price their treatments based on the amount of Sculptra used in the treatment. Your cosmetic injector will discuss the pricing during your initial consultation.

Until recently, the term “Face Lift” was synonymous to an expensive invasive surgical procedure with long recovery, anaesthesia risks, and the possibility of post-surgical revisions.  A plastic surgeon was the only option for this procedure.  However, with the recent advancements in the nonsurgical aesthetic medical industry, the need for invasive facial surgery may very well become a thing of the past.
