Sculptra
Sculptra, which was previously branded as New Fill in Europe, has been on the market since the year 2000 and is used more commonly as a sculpting product with a longer lasting result. The product is manufactured from lactic acid, which is naturally occurring in the body and, therefore, is less likely to cause an allergic reaction in patients. The injectable filler is designed primarily to restore lost facial volume by gradually stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production. The treatment produces a more gradual, less dramatic dermal filler result, working in the lower layers of the skin to achieve a natural looking result over time. The final effects last longer than those of the fillers that cause immediate plumping, like Juvederm.
A series of 4 to 5 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended. The skin will gradually become fuller over a 4-6 month period, giving a smoother and fuller appearance that may last for several years. Radiesse is ideal for lifting the cheek, mouth and jowl areas and is particularly useful to provide subtle facial fullness to very thin individuals with angular facial features. Dr. Rodriguez also uses Sculptra to effectively fill hollows under the eyes and at the temples and to minimize the formation of ‘crow’s feet’ wrinkles around the eyes, often reducing the need for frequent Botox treatments.
The number of Sculptra injections required is dependent upon various factors such as the age of the patient, the area to be treated and the desired treatment result. Generally, the Sculptra procedure will consist of three to five monthly treatments administered over consecutive months. Dr. Rodriguez makes the procedure painless with an anesthetic block, and the procedure takes around 30 minutes to perform. Following the initial treatments, Dr. Rodriguez will be able to advise whether any subsequent follow-up or maintenance treatments are required and, if so, how many. The amount of treatments required is balanced by the fact that the Sculptra program results will last up to three years and in some cases longer and whether you are getting other rejuvenation treatments such as MesoLift, MesoToning, or laser skin tight.
