Hello Everyone! I just wanted to inform you about an injection we offer here in the Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center.  This particular injection is called Sculptra and it is used to create fullness and restore volume in the face.  Sculptra is injected just below the skin and is used to treat areas of the face where there is visible loss of fat.  Sculptra will, over time,  gradually increase fullness of the face in the areas treated restoring the youthful volume lost over time. Multiple treatments may be needed to acheive the desired look and the number of treatments differ for each individual.  It may only require 3 treatments in one person and up to 5 in another person.  Typically, there is a 6 week time frame between each injection session. The lasting results of Sculptra also varies from person to person.  Some patients' results can last up to two to three years, but touch up injections may be needed to keep the results fresh.  Like other injections, Sculptra may cause bleeding, bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection site. My patients who have Sculptra injections are pleased with the outcome.  To schedule for Sculptra, please contact our office and we will make an appointment on one of our "Sculptra Days" !
