Sculptra®
Sculptra® Treatment
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved facial injectable that stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, restoring its inner structure and providing long-lasting results. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra® addresses the underlying cause of facial volume loss—the reduction of collagen. Our collagen production decreases as we age, weakening skin structure and reduced elasticity. Sculptra® works deep within the skin’s surface, gradually absorbed by the body to help stimulate collagen production, thus reinforcing the skin’s inner structure. This treatment is effective for restoring facial volume and improving the appearance of nasolabial folds, marionette lines, pre-auricular wrinkles, radial cheek folds, and chin wrinkles.
Sculptra® in Modesto, Turlock, and Stockton, CA, helps individuals increase their facial volume and achieve a youthful appearance without surgery. Results from Sculptra® treatments can be seen gradually over a few months, with three treatment sessions typically needed, spaced at least three weeks apart. The effects of Sculptra® can last for more than two years. To experience the benefits of Sculptra® and restore your skin’s youthful look, book an appointment at Aesthetic Lab in Modesto, Turlock, and Stockton, CA.
