As we mature, we develop a loss of fat below our cheeks and temples. This leads to a loss of volume giving the appearance of sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Sculptra® is FDA approved for lipoatrophy and acts as a sculpting agent to restore volume and correct the signs of facial fat loss.

Restoring Your Natural and Youthful Appearance

The increased shadowing and hollowed out appearance that you may be noticing in the mirror is a natural progression of the aging process. Sculptra® is a polymerized lactic acid that is injected with a very fine needle into the deeper portion of our skin where volume loss is noted. Over a series of three treatments spaced six weeks apart you will notice a gradual and significant correction and filling of treated folds and sunken areas. Sculptra® is thought to work by stimulating your own dermal fibrolasts to produce natural collagen beneath the skin.

The procedure itself is virtually painless, takes only a few minutes, and patients most frequently report some minor swelling and mild bruising the day after their procedure. No skin testing is required. Because Sculptra® stimulates your own cells to produce collagen, the effects are long lasting with many patients getting at least two years or more of benefit.
