SCULPTRA® is injected into the facial tissues for correction of drooping of the face caused by facial aging and fat loss (lipoatrophy). SCULPTRA® has been clinically proven to be an effective, well-tolerated, and long-lasting treatment for the signs of facial lipoatrophy. The FDA has agreed that the results of the treatments can last up to 2 years.

SCULPTRA® stimulates the production of your own collagen which provides a gradual, natural-looking, youthful appearance. SCULPTRA® presents an exciting option in that it produces an immediate effect with just one treatment, however, for best results a series of 2 to 3 treatments, spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart provides the best results.

Treatments are administered in the office, using topical and local anesthesia. Recovery time is usually 1 to 2 days and side effects may include temporary bruising, slight swelling, redness of the injection site and possibly a small nodule under the surface of the skin that should resolve with gentle massage.

It is important to remember that the long term effects of this treatment are due to production of collagen by your body in response to the placement of the SCULPTRA® product. This collagen replenishment takes place over a period of several months resulting in a progressive improvement in your face while avoiding a sudden drastic change in your appearance. This gradual improvement in your appearance will make your friends wonder what you do to look so good. The skin will be brighter and more luminescent. The results of the treatments should last about two years.
