Sculptra Injectable Dermal Filler for Collagen Production & Facial Rejuvenation in Wellesley, MA
Sculptra is a bio-stimulatory aesthetic injectable that has been an integral part of aesthetic medicine since being FDA-approved 25 years ago. When injected by an expertly trained board-certified dermatologist at DermWellesley, Sculptra stimulates your natural collagen to help restore your skin foundation and improve overall skin quality. Sculptra is composed of Poly-L-Lactic acid with a proven safety profile and over a decade of clinical use. When injected, it helps smooth, firm, and tighten, resulting in a natural and refreshed result.
Benefits of Sculptra for Achieving More Youthful Skin
Sculptra injections are a great option for those looking to improve the overall appearance of their skin in a natural and long-lasting way. Here are some of the benefits of Sculptra:
Stimulates Natural Collagen Production
As we age, our body’s collagen production decreases, leading to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Sculptra works by stimulating the natural production of collagen, which helps restore volume and elasticity to the skin. This results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Long-Lasting Results
Sculptra offers long-lasting effects, unlike other dermal fillers that provide temporary results. The treatment typically lasts for 2 years or longer, making it a cost-effective option for achieving younger-looking skin.
Gradual Improvement for a Natural Appearance
With each injection, Sculptra gradually improves the appearance of your skin, resulting in a very natural-looking outcome. This subtle improvement allows for a gradual transformation, avoiding any drastic changes.
Available for Various Areas
Sculptra can improve the appearance of wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin in various areas, such as the cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline. This makes it a versatile treatment option for achieving overall facial rejuvenation.
Minimal Downtime
The procedure for Sculptra injections is quick and minimally invasive. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment with minimal downtime or side effects.
How Does Sculptra Work to Boost Collagen Production?
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers (like Restylane and Juvéderm) work to fill in areas that have lost volume with time (for example, they help add volume and lift the cheeks, chin, and jowls). Sculptra works differently. As we age, we lose collagen, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Studies have suggested that we lose 1% of collagen annually after age 20. Sculptra helps to combat these signs of aging by encouraging the body to produce the collagen that has been lost.
What to Expect When Receiving Sculptra Injectables at DermWellesley
Typically, at DermWellesley, Sculptra is injected in a series of three treatments, ideally 5-6 weeks apart. After discussing your goals and evaluating your specific facial anatomy, our board-certified dermatologists precisely place Sculptra in the areas of greatest need. Sculptra can help improve the appearance of cheek wrinkles, smile lines, and marionette lines. Patients will start to see results as early as 1 month post-treatment and can expect results to last up to 2 years. Most patients opt for maintenance sessions yearly thereafter.
Real Patient Testimonials
The entire experience was better than I could have ever anticipated.
After three years of not being able to read for any length of time due to droopy eyelids, I saw Dr Callahan. I can’t thank her enough for giving me back such a precious gift. The procedure and recovery were painless. The entire experience was better than I could have ever anticipated. I am more than thrilled with the results.
Dr. Yasuda is very personable and caring.
She takes an interest in her patients as a whole, not focusing only on their dermatological needs. She explains treatments before she begins them and describes her plan of care at each visit. Her exams are thorough, instilling a sense of confidence in her care.
Had my 1st skin check. Dr. Berg was very thorough.
I had a little something on my leg, so after talking with me about it she froze it and will recheck in 8 weeks. She along with the front desk and intake staff were very welcoming, professional and personable. The office and patient rooms are very clean.
Wow, what a wonderful experience!!
Had a filler/Dysport session with Dr. Goldminz today! Wow, what a wonderful experience!! Not only do I absolutely love my results but she was kind and professional yet unbelievably calming and patient! She spent time explaining everything and really knows her stuff!! Thank you, Thank you, I’m looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend!
Everyone here is so wonderful.
I first went to see Barb for a full skin check and to discuss melasma treatments. I started with a few Aerolase treatments with Julie that didn’t do much, no fault of hers, just my skin didn’t respond which is a known possibility, so decided to try Fraxel and WOW. I am so glad I did. I was a bit nervous at first but Julie was so patient and kept it real with me on my expectations. She is so great at what she does. I am so pleased with my results and will continue as a patient here for all my skincare. Don’t hesitate on the Fraxel, it’s incredible!!
