Overview
After the age of 20, you start to lose about 1% of the collagen in your skin every year. Since collagen is a key component of skin strength, elasticity, and firmness, this is why you begin to see fine lines, wrinkles, and decreased volume in the mid-face. At ZO Skin Centre® in Orange County, we are pleased to offer Sculptra® Aesthetic injectable wrinkle filler treatments to correct both age-related volume loss in the cheeks and moderate to severe facial lines. While many dermal fillers are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), Sculptra® is made with poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator that targets deeper levels of the skin to restore the skin's structure and strength while stimulating natural collagen production. Our skilled injectors in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach perform Sculptra® injections to help create natural-looking volume in the cheeks and to fill in moderate to severe lines and wrinkles throughout the face. The long-lasting results of Sculptra® will help you look younger and more refreshed for up to 2 years.
Reviews
Best Candidates
Sculptra® injections work to restore the strength and structure of the skin while adding volume to areas that have become flat or thin with age. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra® can also help to correct shallow to deep wrinkles, like the smile lines between the nose and mouth, the marionette or laugh lines around the mouth, and the wrinkles on your chin. Sculptra® can be used along with other treatments at ZO Skin Centre®, including other dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, ZO® custom facials, laser facials, and more.
What to expect
A Sculptra® injection takes about 30 minutes, plus the pre-treatment consultation with your ZO® skin care professional. After determining the best dose and injection sites for your treatment, your ZO Skin Centre® injector will clean and mark the areas to be treated. Sculptra® is injected using a fine needle, which causes most patients feel tolerable discomfort during the initial prick, but a numbing cream can be applied to the skin if you would prefer. You may see some changes right after your injection, but it typically takes a few days for your full outcome to develop. For ideal results, you should schedule several Sculptra® injection treatments over the course of 3 – 4 months. This allows your results to last for up to 2 years. You may see some temporary swelling, redness, and bruising or feel mild pain or tenderness, but this should not last more than a few days after the injection. Please contact our office if you have an unusual reaction, questions, or concerns after your treatment.
