Sculptra Face Lift
The Liquid Facelift - Beautiful skin is a journey, but as time goes on, it can be harder and harder to keep up. As you age, collagen production diminishes, and your skin doesn’t have the same resiliency and fullness it did in the past. Discover Sculptra – the treatment that activates your skin’s natural power to revitalize collagen production for a more youthful appearance. Sculptra is a unique treatment due to its ability to stimulate collagen growth.
Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production lost to aging, rebuilding and reinforcing your skin’s structural foundation. Through a series of treatments, typically about three sessions over a few months, it restores the support and volume of youthful looking skin, providing results that can last up to two years.
The results from Sculptra are not immediate; Sculptra provides a gradual increase in skin thickness by stimulating your skin to increase collagen production. Results can typically start to be seen approximately 6-8 weeks after injection. This is an in-office procedure that we inject to the face or body just below your skin level and deep to the muscles.
An initial treatment may consist of one or more vials, depending on treatment area and severity of volume loss. You will return to our office for re-evaluation in approximately 6 weeks. At that time, we will discuss if additional injections are needed or wanted for desired results. Sculptra is also frequently used in combination with dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation. Sculptra consist of Poly- L-Lactic Acid, which is a synthetic polymer that has been used in human body since 1960 and as medical suture material from 1970.
Sculptra is a dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth in the skin. Traditionally, it has been used to restore lost facial volume, but recently it has also been used to add volume and definition to the buttocks region. The Sculptra butt lift allows you to add roundness or fullness to a butt that has a flat appearance. Since no fat transfer or implants are involved, your treatment doesn’t require surgery.
You’ll experience many benefits from the Sculptra butt lift, including:

FAQ
Who is an ideal candidate for dermal fillers?
Ideal candidates are those who are looking for a minimally invasive means of erasing etched-in fine lines and wrinkles. Other qualifiers for being a potential candidate for dermal fillers include:
Are dermal filler procedures painful?
Every patient’s response to pain is widely variable. We offer topical and localized numbing options to create the most comfortable experience possible for patients.
How much do dermal fillers cost?
Because everyone’s needs are different, and with such a wide variety of treatments involving filler, a personal consultation is the best way to establish cost as we create an individualized. With that in mind, filler treatments start at $650. This cost not only reflects the price of the product, but also the skill, knowledge and expertise of the medical injector. We do not price match.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment. The healing process then begins, which involves swelling for about 3-7 days depending on the amount injected, area injected, and how your body reacts to the procedure. The product then settles, and you’ll enjoy your final results about 2-3 weeks after injections. Please give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any events or vacations in case of residual bruising and swelling. We commonly tell patients don’t love or hate your results for 2 weeks.
Do I need recovery time?
Bruising and swelling are possible; plan 2 weeks ahead of any events or vacations. Most of the initial swelling resolves within a few days.

Treatment Areas
LIPS
Youthful lips that are plump and volumized lose elasticity and fullness over time, creating sagging or thinning lips. Whether aging has caused them to thin, or your lips have never had the volume you desire, you are not alone. Many people wish their lips were larger and fuller.
The lips are one of the most popular areas for dermal filler injections, and when performed correctly by a skillful injector, will plump the lips for a soft, natural-looking result. Lip augmentations are one of our specialties.
CHEEKS
Over time, our cheeks start to flatten, and the skin may begin to sag, causing the "sunken cheeks" look that tend to make people feel older than they really are. This natural loss of volume in the cheek area is what the experts call age-related midface volume loss.
Filler is used to lift and contour the cheeks, replacing the lost volume. This can also diminish the appearance of the nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and reduce heaviness of the lower face.
TEAR TROUGH | UNDER-EYE AREA
Many patients are unhappy with the shadows and depressions that occur under their eyes. This can be due to genetics but is also a common sign of aging.
Treatment with dermal fillers can provide patients with a long-lasting natural result while experiencing minimal downtime. For optimal results, we usually recommend a combination treatment of cheeks and tear trough filler.
NASOLABIAL FOLDS | SMILE LINES
Smile lines, also known as nasolabial folds, are lines and creases that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth and are the result of the loss of facial volume and skin elasticity as we age. They can make you look older, tired, or unhappy.
Filler is used to soften the appearance of the nasolabial folds (smile/laugh lines). Often, cheek (midface) filler is needed to help lift and take the weight off of the nasolabial folds.
MARIONETTE LINES
Even if you have never heard of marionette lines, you probably know what they are. These lines that run straight downwards from the corners of the mouth can make you look unhappy. Marionette lines form as facial volume begins to deplete and deeper creases begin to form below the mouth.
Filler can be used to rejuvenate the lower face, fill in these lines around the mouth, and help up-turn the corners of the mouth as needed.
VERTICAL LIP LINES | PUCKER LINES | SMOKER LINES
Every time you speak, eat, drink from a straw, smoke, kiss, or smile, your skin remembers, and lines eventually begin to show around your mouth. The vertical lines above and below your lips can be difficult to hide with makeup and are often highlighted when a bright shade of lipstick bleeds into them.
Dermal fillers can be placed superficially to fill and soften these small lines, with or without augmenting your lip volume, whichever you prefer.
CORNERS OF THE MOUTH
The corners of the mouth, also known as the oral commissures, can turn downward as you age and lose volume below the mouth. This downturned appearance of the mouth can make you look like you are frowning or even mad. In addition, volume loss in this area often leads to the formation or the deepening of already-formed marionette lines.
Fillers can be used to fill these lines and help up-turn the corners of the mouth.
PRE-JOWL FOLD
A little-known area of the face that can make a big impact on the way we look is the pre-jowl fold area, or the pre-jowl fold sulcus, which is the area on either side of our chin. Facial volume loss associated with the aging process results in sagging of the skin in other facial areas and leaves the pre-jowl fold area hollow.
Replacing this lost volume helps plump the sagging skin and rejuvenate the lower portion of the face.
JAWLINE
There are many reasons to undergo jaw enhancement. Enhancing the jawline with dermal filler injections can give you a more youthful appearance by filling in loose skin. By smoothing the contours of the jaw, it increases the definition of this area.
Jaw enhancement can also decrease the appearance of jowls or hanging folds of fat and skin drooping beneath the jawline.
Jaw enhancement may be right for you if you’ve always felt you had a weak jaw line, or if you’ve begun to notice signs of aging in this area of your face. Many candidates are men wishing for a more chiseled jaw or women who wish their jaw looked more defined, or softer and more feminine.
CHIN
This pesky wrinkle forming horizontally across the chin can really distract from the smile. Caused by facial volume loss, chin wrinkles appear gradually over time. Filler can also be used to augment the chin, giving a more symmetrical shape and definition to the face.
ACNE SCARS
If you were a kid (or adult) suffering from acne and have residual scarring, these acne scars can be a debilitating issue and play an important role in someone's self-esteem. Filler can be used to fill the void caused by scarring and leave the skin smoother and more natural-looking.
HANDS
Many people wonder how to get rid of hand wrinkles and lost volume. You can improve the appearance of your aging hands with dermal fillers. Restore a more youthful appearance to hands with our quick, in-office treatment that reduces the appearance of tendons and veins and delivers smooth, natural-looking results.
EARLOBES
