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! To learn more about the treatment, please keep reading below.

What is Sculptra?

Frequently Asked Questions

Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment designed to rebuild collagen and restore your skin’s inner structure and facial volume to give your skin fullness, firmness, and improved quality. Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that has been FDA-approved for cosmetic enhancements, with notable usage in the U.S. since 1999. Once injected, it is gradually absorbed into the dermis layer of the face where it stimulates gradual collagen production. This collagen production helps to replace the framework used to support cells and tissue that is lost as we age, helping recreate that youthful fullness and glow to your face. Results are natural, making Sculptra the perfect treatment to appear more youthful without appearing as if you have had work done

It is both biocompatible and biodegradable and is often used in the following areas of the face:

  • Cheeks
  • Jawline
  • Marionettes
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Temples

Or any other area with volume loss due to collagen depletion!

In addition to giving you an increased level of confidence, Sculptra has provided our North Texas, Dallas area patients with the following benefits:

  • Do not have any rashes or wounds on their face

  • Looking for long-lasting and natural-appearing results
  • No history of keloid scars

  • Wishing to restore lost volume to their face due to aging or weight loss

What’s the first step?

If you are in the North Dallas area and want a fuller, more youthful appearance, Sculptra treatments from Haute Beauty Aesthetics in Allen and Frisco, TX could be a great solution! When you come in for your initial consultation, you will meet with Jennifer Adams, Nurse Practitioner and Founder, or one of our incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled nurse injectors.

During this appointment, you will be able to have all of your questions answered, areas of concern addressed, and your treatment area will be examined. We encourage every one of our patients to be open and honest with their provider during their Sculptra consultation. The information you provide will help your injector make the best decisions to achieve your aesthetic goals, as well as prevent any unnecessary risks.

Once the two of you agree on how your treatment will be handled, a treatment plan will be created just for you. With this information, you and your injector will choose a date for your first treatment and set your appointment.

What to Expect on the Day of Sculptra

Your Sculptra treatment will take place in our boutique Medical Spa where you will be administered either local anesthesia or a topical cream to numb the area and ensure minimal discomfort.

Next, your injector uses a needle or a cannula and syringe to inject exact amounts of the Sculptra solution into your targeted areas. The injected solution will stimulate collagen production to help you achieve a fuller face with a firmer texture and improved skin quality. Your specialist will finish your session with a 5 minute massage in the treatment area to gently disperse the solution, along with directions on how to properly massage the treated areas at home.

Depending on the level of change you are attempting, this treatment will take about an hour to an hour and a half to complete. It’s such a quick experience that many patients refer to it as the “lunch break” procedure.

Sculptra Recovery

After your session, there will be some immediately noticeable results, but your most optimal results are achieved with multiple treatments performed every 2-3 months. You can alleviate any mild pain or swelling with a cold pack or Tylenol during the first 24 hours post-procedure. It is important to massage the treated area at home for 5 minutes at a time, 5 times a day, for 5 days.

The exact number of treatments a patient will require will be decided upon during your consultation, however, please keep in mind that this number could change depending on how your body reacts to the treatment.

Once you have done all your recommended treatments and have allowed the Sculptra to settle into place, the treated area(s) of your skin will be fuller, more firm, with improved skin quality.

How Much Does Sculptra Cost in Allen, TX?

The cost of Sculptra in the North Dallas and Frisco area is highly dependent on the amount of Sculptra needed per session and the number of sessions you will need to meet your goals. The best way to determine how much your treatment will cost is to come in for a consultation and receive a full face assessment from our highly skilled nurse and nurse practitioner injectors.

Once your provider has a better understanding of what you’re trying to achieve and how to help you get there with a treatment plan, you will be provided with a breakdown of the total cost of your procedure.

Jennifer is sweet, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented. She has been working on maintaining a balance on my face to ensure I age gracefully. I also started bringing my mother who had never had any neurotoxins and Jennifer was so informative/educational.
Jenn has been fantastic to provide a plan for helping turn back the clock and her treatments have been more effective than similar treatments I tried by other providers.
