Dermal Filler - Who is a Good Candidate for Sculptra Treatments?

Sculptra is a volumizing dermal filler that has the ability to help stimulate collagen. It is created using a bi-product called poly-L-lactic-acid, which is a substance that already exists in your body. This makes it a safe product to use and will not cause an allergic reaction.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injection that allows individuals to see results over a longer period, giving a more gradual change to one's face over time. Patients who are interested in seeing instant results from their dermal filler would not be a good candidate for Sculptra treatments. This is because Sculptra treatments will require numerous sessions over a period of several months in order to see the full results. Collagen stimulators take time to produce volume, so the results will not be as fast as Botox, Juvederm, or other facial fillers available through Dr. Hartman's office.

Individuals that are good candidates for Sculptra treatments are those that are looking to slowly restore fullness to their face to address fine lines and wrinkles that may make them look older than they feel inside. Sculptra is used in areas such as the marionette lines (the lines from the lips to the chin), smile lines, crow's feet, cheekbones, and other places of concern. Dr. Hartman in Birmingham can consult with patients to discuss all the parts of the face in which Sculptra can help turn back the hands of time.

One of the benefits of Sculptra is that it lasts longer than other dermal fillers because it is constantly stimulating the growth and restoration of the collagen in the patient's face long after the treatments have been completed. This allows Sculptra treatments to last for up to two years after the final injections.

Sculptra is a great way to gradually restore fullness and volume to your face. Birmingham dermatologist Dr. Hartman can help you to restore your natural look, making you look several years younger and bringing back your youthful appearance!
