Sculptra® Injections in Atlanta at The Spa at NAPS

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved product that helps your body stimulate collagen growth, which restores facial volume and fullness over time. The results appear gradually over the treatment area, typically requiring three injections over the course of three to four months. The results can last for up to two years.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLLA), which is a bioactive filler. It stimulates the formation of collagen in the skin. What could be better than stimulating your tissue for natural rejuvenation?

 

Your injector mixes a custom vial of Sculptra® for you and applies it to facial contours that need structural support and volume. Once the Sculptra® molecules distribute into the soft tissue under your skin, your body gets inspired to make a collagen matrix. The Sculptra® eventually gets broken down by the body. Your collagen matrix should last two years.

Why Choose Sculptra®?

Replacement and restoration of the collagen framework will create a subtle, refined correction of wrinkles, as well as lifting and supporting our tissues. As we age, we lose soft tissue volume in our cheeks, temples, and the middle part of the face. This volume loss usually begins in our 40s. Sculptra® can help reverse that process by stimulating the natural production of our collagen, which adds subtle volume to the treatment areas. A youthful appearance is one where the temples, midface, and cheeks have a nice, natural fullness.

Optimal areas include:

  • Pre-auricular wrinkles (the wrinkles that appear in front of the ear)
  • Nasolabial folds (the lines from our nose to our mouth)
  • Marionette lines (the lines from our mouth to our chin)
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Submalar wrinkles (below the cheeks)
  • Cheeks
  • Temples
  • Buttocks

Sculptra® works with your body within the deep dermis, rather than topically, to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. Traditional collagen creams claim to deliver collagen for absorption into the skin. However, collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. As the dermis consumes the micro-particles in Sculptra®, they help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.

How Many Injections Do I Need?

Dr. Alderman and Dr. Joiner will help you with a custom plan. Most strategies start at two vials per treatment, with a minimum of two treatments per area of concern. We let your body build upon the Sculptra® for four weeks before retreating. The buttock area requires significantly more Sculptra®, usually four vials per side.

Sculptra® vs. Dermal Fillers and Radiesse®

Fillers

Most fillers are gel-like substances made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our body. Fillers soften lines by pushing up the dermis space beneath wrinkles and creases. Hyaluronic acid has the benefit of immediate correction of volume and wrinkle reduction, and is reversible at any time if desired. However, the product only lasts for nine to 12 months.
