Long-Lasting Collagen Stimulation for Deep Facial Rejuvenation

Sculptra injections build your own collagen, and results are seen in 6 weeks or less, making it the best option for facial hollowing. Many other dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, while Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic formula that has been FDA-approved and widely used for decades. Although results are gradual (occurring over a few weeks), they have been known to last up to 2 years.

Administering Sculptra

Sculptra is administered during an in-office appointment that typically takes about 30 minutes. Your injections will be administered by Suzanne Rogers, our renowned master injector, who is highly trained and experienced.

The injection treatment, including the dosage and injection site, is tailored during the procedure to address your specific cosmetic needs. The injection is given through a syringe to localized areas on the face. You may feel a small prick as the needle inserts through the skin, but any pain or discomfort can be controlled with a topical anesthetic or numbing injection if desired.

What to Expect

Immediately following a Sculptra injection, some mild bruising and redness will occur at the injection site. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. You can resume your normal activities after treatment, but exercise should be avoided for a few hours. After the injection, aftercare instructions will be provided to optimize results. The effects of Sculptra will become apparent gradually during the weeks that follow.

The outcome will yield a smoother and younger appearance. Sculptra is injected deeper into the dermis than the other dermal fillers are. Most of Dr. Sadati's patients require 2 or 3 vials over several months to attain optimal results. If you'd like to find out if you'd be a good candidate for Sculptra, Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Kevin Sadati, can address that and any other questions you may have during a consultation.

Botox or Filler?

Sculptra is different from dermal fillers in that it stimulates the body to repair and produce collagen; thus, triggering the body to restore lost volume from the inside. This product can rebuild and repair, which sets it apart from other injectables used to address aging signs. Sculptra is the only filler that produces long-term, gradual results.

Injectable fillers help decrease wrinkles by adding volume to certain facial structures, creating a smooth result on the surface of the skin. BOTOX, which temporarily freezes the underlying muscle, may offer a result that looks similar, but the approach is different. A skilled practitioner, like Dr. Sadati, will be able to determine which procedure would garner the best results.

Sculptra Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe?

Sculptra is approved by the FDA and has a long history of safety worldwide since 1999. It uses poly-L-lactic acid, which the human body naturally produces. Reported side effects include subtle pain, bruising, and swelling. Small nodules appearing beneath the skin are common and should not cause concern. These nodules can be eliminated by gently massaging the area for five minutes at a time, several times a day, for five days after treatment.

Best age?

Individuals who wish to soften and decrease facial lines and wrinkles may be candidates for Sculptra. The most common age to receive Sculptra injections is between 30 and 55; however, the majority of people who reside in Orange County and its surrounding communities are suitable candidates for treatment with Sculptra. Even individuals who would like to address changes in the face due to HIV/AIDS may be good candidates for this treatment.

Where do I get injected?

When determining injection sites, Dr. Sadati uses his artistic vision and experience to locate the ideal sites for injection. Sculptra is injected directly into the face and helps restore hollowing at the temples, the contours of the chin and cheeks, deep wrinkles at the nasolabial folds, lip volume, sunken areas around the eyes, and facial lipoatrophy (the facial changes that occur as a result of HIV and AIDS).
