Sculptra
Introduction
As we get older, our bodies begin to show signs of aging that have been affected not only by time but also by our lifestyle and environment. For our face, these signs of aging are due to a loss of collagen, elastin, and bone, and a repositioning of the fat pads, which in turn makes us look saggy and tired. The biggest reason for this facial volume loss is the loss of collagen, and after about age 20, we lose collagen at an average of 1% per year. This means, by the time we are 40, we have lost 20% of the collagen framework in our face. But what exactly is collagen? Collagen is a protein found in the dermis layer of the skin, that gives our skin structure and support and supports the functions of elastin (our skin’s ability to stretch) and hyaluronic acid (our skin’s ability to retain moisture). Sculptra is a great way to improve facial volume loss and our skin, giving us a rejuvenated appearance that lasts up to 2 years. At Haute Beauty Aesthetics, we offer Sculptra to our patients in the Frisco, Allen, and North Dallas areas as a great way to turn back the clock and look your absolute best!
