Have you started to notice subtle volume loss in your cheeks or deeper smile lines that weren’t there a few years ago? Aging is typically accompanied by a gradual loss of collagen, a protein that gives your face its youthful structure.
At AesthetiSpa Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, we understand how frustrating facial volume loss can be. That’s why we offer Sculptra® to restore fullness and support healthy, beautiful skin. Under the direction of Christy L. Cone, MD, and her experienced team, every treatment is carefully customized to match your goals.
In this blog, you’ll learn what areas of the face Sculptra can treat and how it works.
How Sculptra Works
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add immediate fullness, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Its main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), has been used safely in the medical field for decades and is FDA-approved for facial volume loss.
Collagen-stimulating injectables can gradually improve skin thickness and firmness over several months. This means results appear subtly and can last up to two years or longer for many patients.
Areas Sculptra Can Treat
Sculptra can address volume loss in many areas of the face, including the following.
Cheeks and Midface
As we age, the cheeks lose fullness and begin to flatten. This can create a tired or hollow appearance. Sculptra helps:
- Restore lost cheek volume
- Improve facial contours
- Provide gentle lifting in the midface
Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
Nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While these lines are natural, they can deepen with age.
Sculptra works beneath the surface to improve skin structure, gradually softening these folds. Instead of simply “filling” the line, it strengthens the surrounding tissue for longer-lasting support.
Marionette Lines and Lower Face
Volume loss in the lower face can contribute to marionette lines and mild sagging along the jawline. Sculptra can:
- Improve the appearance of marionette lines
- Add subtle support along the jawline
- Reduce the look of hollow areas near the chin
Temples
Hollow temples are often overlooked but can significantly affect facial balance. Sculptra can restore fullness to this area, creating smoother transitions between the forehead and cheeks.
