What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a unique filler designed to restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles gradually and naturally. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate results, but may break down more quickly, Sculptra works over time, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to rebuild facial structure and create lasting improvements.

What Can Sculptra Help With?

Sculptra in Fort Worth at Westside Plastic Surgery is ideal for patients looking to correct:

  • Facial volume loss: As we age, collagen production declines, leading to a loss of volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Sculptra helps restore this lost volume, providing a fuller, more youthful appearance.
  • Deep wrinkles and folds: Sculptra is effective at reducing the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, including nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (the lines running from the mouth to the chin).
  • Hollowing in the temples: Over time, the temples can become sunken or hollow due to fat loss, contributing to an aged or gaunt appearance. Sculptra restores volume in this area, creating a softer, more youthful look.
  • Sagging skin: By replenishing collagen, Sculptra can help improve the overall firmness and elasticity of the skin, resulting in a subtle but noticeable lift.

The Science Behind Sculptra

Sculptra stands out from other fillers due to its unique formula and gradual approach. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate volume by plumping the skin, Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that has been used in medical implants for decades. PLLA works by stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity.

Here’s how it works:

  • Gradual volume restoration: After Sculptra is injected into the targeted areas, PLLA microparticles begin to break down, triggering the body’s natural collagen production process. Over the course of a few months, this new collagen gradually builds up, filling in hollow areas and smoothing wrinkles.
  • Natural-looking results: Because Sculptra stimulates your body’s collagen, the results develop slowly and look entirely natural. There’s no dramatic “before and after” moment—instead, patients notice a subtle yet significant improvement over time.

The Sculptra Treatment Process

Your Sculptra journey in Fort Worth at Westside Plastic Surgery begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Goggin. He will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Sculptra is the best option for you. If so, your treatment will be tailored to address your specific concerns.

  • Quick and easy treatments: Each Sculptra treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Dr. Goggin will inject Sculptra into the areas where volume loss or deep wrinkles are a concern. A topical numbing cream can be applied during the procedure if needed.
  • Minimal downtime: After your Sculptra session, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. However, these effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment.

Your Sculptra Treatment Schedule

Sculptra is designed to deliver long-lasting results, but because it works by stimulating collagen production, multiple treatments are often required to achieve the desired outcome. Most patients need a series of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to see optimal results.

Once the treatment series is complete, the results can last up to two years or more, making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting fillers available. To maintain your rejuvenated appearance, follow-up treatments can be scheduled as needed, based on your individual response to Sculptra and your long-term goals.

Sculptra Is Different

  • Gradual results: If you’re looking for a filler that provides immediate volume, Sculptra may not be the best option for you. However, for patients who prefer a more subtle, natural transformation, the gradual results of Sculptra are ideal.
  • Long-lasting effects: While the results are not instantaneous, Sculptra’s effects are longer-lasting than those of traditional fillers. Many patients appreciate the extended benefits of Sculptra, as it offers ongoing improvements to skin firmness and volume over time.
  • Collagen stimulation: Unlike other fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra enhances your skin’s overall structure by boosting collagen production. This means you’re not just filling in wrinkles—you’re actively rebuilding your skin’s foundation.
