Sculptra and Radiesse
Boost natural collagen, improve skin quality and bring out your youthful glow!
After age 20, you lose about 1% of collagen per year. Sculptra is the first and original FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid facial injectable that targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging due to collagen loss, gradually helping restore skin structure and volume.
Glowing skin starts within. Sculptra gradually helps restore your skin foundation, with results seen as early as 1 month after treatment and lasting up to 2 years, revealing natural-looking firmness and improved skin quality.
95% of patients had improved skin glow 2 years after Sculptra treatment.
On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on the treatment plan determined by you and your nurse injector
Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with sustained results for up to 2 years.
Typical treatment is 3 sessions spaced at least 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Sculptra and Radiesse are used to correct shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds on the face. Sculptra is clinically approved for:
Cheek wrinkles
Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines)
Chin wrinkles
You may apply makeup several hours after treatment.
