Sculptra

How Sculptra Works

At Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery in Alexandria, Dr. Eric Desman offers Sculptra. This innovative treatment restores facial volume and smooths fine lines by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. This non-surgical solution delivers gradual, long-lasting results for a refreshed and youthful appearance that looks completely natural.

Whether you’re aiming to restore youthful volume, smooth deep lines, or refine your facial contours, Sculptra not only revitalizes your appearance but also strengthens your skin’s resilience from within.

Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable designed to rejuvenate your skin by addressing the underlying causes of aging. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to rebuild your skin’s foundation.

The main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a biodegradable substance that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Once injected into targeted areas, Sculptra triggers the growth of new collagen, replenishing lost volume and enhancing skin elasticity over time.

Most patients notice subtle improvements after their first treatment, with optimal results developing over a few months as collagen production increases. The effects of Sculptra are long-lasting, often persisting for up to two years or more with proper care.

Benefits of Sculptra

Sculptra offers a range of advantages that make it a standout choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation:

• Long-lasting results: Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years or more as it works to rebuild your skin’s natural collagen.
• Natural-looking enhancements: Results develop gradually, allowing for subtle, refined improvements that look like you—only younger.
• Non-surgical solution: Achieve noticeable facial rejuvenation without the downtime or risks associated with surgery.
• Versatile treatment areas: Sculptra effectively restores volume in key areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
• Healthier skin from within: By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra not only enhances your appearance but also strengthens your skin’s structure and resilience.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is an excellent choice for individuals who want a gradual, natural-looking solution to facial aging. Ideal candidates include:

• Adults experiencing mild to moderate facial volume loss due to aging or weight changes.

• Patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to restore facial contours and achieve a more youthful appearance.
• Individuals with realistic expectations who are comfortable with gradual improvements over time.
