Sculptra: Scottsdale, Phoenix, Arizona
Sculptra represents an exciting new option for the
signs of facial aging. At The Scottsdale Cosmetic Health Insitute we place great emphasis
on facial volumes and contour. Sagging and wrinkles form
in response to a diminishing of the skins underlying foundation.
Fat, muscle and bone all decrease with aging. This leads
to thinning skin, flattening of the face, hollowing of
the eyes and the area around the mouth.
Sculptra can be used in place of fat grafting (FAMI) to
revolutionize the face. In many situations Sculptra is an
even better option than fat transfer for those patients looking
to turn back the clock.
Sculptra is most often associated with the cosmetic fillers,
but is actually a volume increaser ("volumizer").
Sculptra is a collagen regeneration product that, unlike
traditional fillers (Restylane, Radiance and collagen), works
by stimulating your skins own fibroblasts to produce new
collagen. As its name implies, a series of treatments with
Sculptra will fill in and recontour areas where underlying
supportive collagen and fat tissue have diminished with age,
or have been damaged via injury or disease. In doing so,
Sculptra smoothes loose, wrinkled and/or depressed skin.
Sculptra was first approved in Europe in 1999 for the cosmetic
correction of scars and wrinkles. It has been used in approximately
150,000 patients in more than 30 countries. Recently FDA
approved for the treatment of facial fat loss in patients
with Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Sculptra can be used to
restore the youthful fullness of our temples, cheeks, chin,
eye areas and hands that is lost with the passage of time.
Sculptra is injectable poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA). It is
a biocompatible, immunologically inert (i.e.: does not trigger
inflammatory reactions), synthetic polymer belonging to the
category of biomaterials termed "resorbable". Sculptra
is completely eliminated from the body in the form of carbon
dioxide. There are no known systemic effects and no allergy
test is required.
Sculptra's benefit is long lasting and achieved through
a simple series of injections into the deeper layers of the
skin, with each treatment taking less than 30 minutes. Other
than the initial "needle poke" sensation, the treatment
is quite comfortable and free of burning or stinging. Three
to four Sculptra sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart,
are necessary to produce a substantial result. New collagen
production appears slowly and gradually over a period of
months, for a natural, healthy and fuller look. Sculptra's
collagen stimulation is long term and may last for 2 years
before a touch up is needed.
Dr. Wasserman has extensive experience with minimally invasive
facial recontouring. The Scottsdale Cosmetic Health Insitute is very excited to incorporate
Sculptra along with numerous other facial enhancement procedures.
