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.

Acne Scar Minimization | Casey Powell PA

For Acne sufferers, there are many factors to take into consideration as breakouts begins to heal.  In addition to the methods for preventing infection, another major concern is scarring. When a wound heals and the tissue has grown back, the outer dermal layer can appear discolored and have a different texture than the surrounding skin. Hence, we have the acne scar!    Fortunately, we live in an age where there are many options to minimize facial scarring through well-known aesthetic treatments.  Consider these suggestions: 1 – The Plasma Pen:   Designed entirely to repair, reverse, and mitigate the negative effects of aging by using state-of-the-art nitrogen plasma technology. This also works wonders for scar minimization.  By transferring nitrogen plasma energy to the top layer of the skin, and simultaneously heating and disrupting the deep skin layer, we can tighten, lift, resurface, and regenerate any area of skin. This technique is known as “fibroblasting.” The Plasma Pen

The Liquid or No-Surgery Face Lift - Casey Powell PA

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. Nonsurgical options for improving the looks of our skin, lifting lax tissue and stimulating collagen can result in much better results compared to the old surgical face lift and are much less expensive in today’s world.  With the recent advances in Aesthetic Medicine, there are many options to consider before opting for the traditional surgical procedure (i.e. skincare, lasers, botox, the thread lift and, of course, injectables).  Facial Fillers have become the gold standard in producing dramatic results for many happy patients who wish to enhance their appearance without taking t
