Collagen plays a vital role in the skin structure. Unfortunately, we stop producing collagen in our 20’s, and as our collagen production becomes depleted, the skin loses volume and quality. Hollowing under the eyes and temples can occur; pre-jowling becomes more prominent; fine lines, wrinkles and folds may become more severe; and our skin becomes more lax. Dermal fillers can artificially restore volumization, but they do not induce collagen production. Sculptra® uses poly-L-lactic acid, PLLA, a synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. The result is a boost in collagen to enhance skin quality, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, while restoring lost volume to the face. While Sculptra does not offer the immediate results like other dermal fillers, the injections work overtime to restore youthfulness and provide longer-lasting effects.
Sculptra treatments can last for two years or longer. Maintenance treatments are recommended and often required to maintain desirable results.
If you want to combat signs of aging, Sculptra injections may be the answer. To learn more about Sculptra and other cosmetic treatments, contact us at pēkomd® to schedule your complimentary consultation with an experienced provider.
