Sculptra

Collagen, vital for healthy, smooth skin, decreases as we age, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Injectable treatments offer temporary relief but don't stimulate collagen production. For longer-lasting rejuvenation, consider Sculptra in Nashville.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to create smoother, more youthful-looking facial skin, restore lost facial volume, and stimulate collagen production.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler made with poly-L-lactic acid. When Sculptra is injected into the facial skin, it adds natural-looking volume to the area, and the poly-L-lactic acid is gradually absorbed into the body. Over time, the poly-L-lactic acid encourages the body’s cells to produce more collagen, which gradually improves the health and complexion of the skin.

Benefits of Sculptra

If you’d like to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking facial skin, Sculptra in Nashville can provide some or all of these benefits:

Smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Adds natural-looking volume to the skin
Safe, FDA-approved treatment
Stimulates increased collagen production
Long-lasting results
Increased self-confidence

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Your Sculptra treatment will be administered as an outpatient procedure right at our clinic. To begin, your skin will be cleansed in the treatment area, and a topical anesthetic will be applied to prevent any pain during the procedure. Then, using a very fine needle or cannula, your injector professional will inject Sculptra into your facial skin. In total, the treatment should only take around 20 to 30 minutes, and you’ll be able to return home as soon as it’s finished.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

After your Sculptra treatment, you’ll want to avoid strenuous physical activity for 24 hours, but you should be able to resume your normal routine right away.

Am I a Candidate for Sculptra?

Adults who would like to reduce signs of facial aging could be good candidates for Sculptra. Ideal candidates for the treatment should:

Be in generally good physical health
Have realistic expectations for the treatment
Have no active skin infections near the treatment area
Have no allergies to any of Sculptra’s ingredients
Have the desire for smoother, more youthful-looking facial skin
Not be currently pregnant or breastfeeding

Are There Any Side Effects?

Sculptra has been known to cause minor side effects in some patients. The most common side effects of the treatment include:

Swelling
Bruising
Skin discoloration
Injection site pain
Itching
Lumps or bumps

How Long Will It Take To See Results After Sculptra Treatment?

You may see improvements to your skin immediately after Sculptra treatment, but the full effects tend to appear gradually. It can take up to a few weeks to see the final results, which can last for up to two years.
