WHAT IS SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC?

With age, your skin’s natural collagen supply decreases, and you may start to notice wrinkles and facial aging. Sculptra Aesthetics will activate the skin’s natural regenerative process and help restore lost collagen, the most common protein in the body that supports cells and tissue.

Sculptra® Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen. It is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by Dr. Dima.

IS SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC RIGHT FOR ME?

Not all treatments or injectables are created the same. As people age, the skin loses its elasticity from a reduction in collagen. People typically get Sculptra to correct their contour deficiencies and wrinkles. But aside from wanting wrinkle correction, other factors can make you a good candidate for Sculptra:

Hollowness in the face
Loss of volume
Weight loss

There’s no magic age at which to get Sculptra treatments, so scheduling a consultation with Dr. Dima can help you determine if it’s right for you.

HOW MANY SCULPTRA VIALS WILL I NEED?

Sculptra works to stimulate new collagen growth, rather than adding volume, aren’t as easy to compare in terms of how many syringes you’ll need. Sculptra actually comes in vials, though most patients use 2-4 vials throughout the entire face.

On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of vials at each session will vary per appointment, depending on the degree of correction required and the treatment plan determined by you and Dr. Dima.

HOW MUCH DOES SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC COST?

The cost starts at $1000 per vial. (There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price). To ensure that your Sculptra procedure is affordable, we accept various payment methods, including special financing plans.

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT?
