Sculptra® in Orlando

Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra® works beneath the surface to rebuild the skin’s structural foundation, improving firmness, smoothness, and overall facial contour over time.

REPLENISH YOUR COLLAGEN

Our youthful appearance is owed to our body’s natural regenerative process, but as we age, our natural supply of collagen decreases as our bodies produce less and less of this protein. If you have started to notice wrinkles, fine lines, sunken cheeks, and eyes, it is likely that your production of collagen needs a boost. Sculptra® in Orlando can help replenish your collagen stores gradually so that you end up with a natural, healthy appearance. Call today to learn more about this popular injectable treatment for full facial rejuvenation.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA® & HOW DOES SCULPTRA® WORK?

The key ingredient of Sculptra® in Orlando is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic material that stimulates collagen production through minimally invasive injections. Essentially, it is an FDA-approved filler that gradually restores fullness to the skin by causing your body’s natural production of collagen to kick in. This allows wrinkles, folds, and sunken areas to return to a more natural state as lost collagen is replaced.

WHAT AREAS CAN SCULPTRA® BE USED ON?

While Sculptra® is primarily used to diminish wrinkles, fine lines, and folds such as smile lines, chin wrinkles, and lines around the nose and mouth for our patients in Orlando, it can be used for other treatment areas. These areas include:

Thighs
Glutes
Biceps
Triceps
Pectorals

It may be used for buttocks augmentation, cellulite correction, or the treatment of elbow, chest, and knee wrinkles. It is not used directly on the eye area or your lips.

WHAT SIDE EFFECTS ARE THERE & WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE CONSIDERING IT?

As with any treatment that requires the use of microneedles, there will be some noticeable side effects around the injection site. Please expect the following side effects.

Swelling & bruising around the injection site,
Redness, tenderness, or pain.
Potential for bleeding, bumps, and itchiness.

It is also possible to develop minor skin discoloration and lumps underneath the skin. There is also the risk of infection and serious swelling. Sculptra® is not a good option for patients in Orlando who commonly get acne, rashes, skin sores, or cysts or have a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT PROCESS GO?

During your initial Sculptra consultation in Orlando, we will discuss your medical history to ensure that there is no danger of conflicting medical conditions or exciting any existing allergies. You will need to provide a detailed description of all prescription medications that you take, as well as any herbal, dietary, or over-the-counter supplements. Once you are given the all-clear, you will come back for your session. If you wear makeup, this will need to be removed prior to coming in if the treatment area is your face.

The treatment area will be cleansed with an antiseptic, and a numbing cream or local anesthetic will be applied. You will receive small multiple injections and a light massage will be given to evenly distribute Sculptra. An ice pack will then be applied to help reduce swelling and redness. You will be required to massage your face several times a day for about a week post-treatment. Most individuals can return to usual daily activities immediately after treatment and makeup can be reapplied within a few hours after treatment if there are no open wounds.

HOW MUCH DOES THE SCULPTRA® TREATMENT COST?

One treatment of Sculptra® in Orlando will range between $1,500 and $3,500, but the total price point depends on several factors.

The number of visits required for treatment,
Where you are geographically located,
How many vials of Sculptra® are needed for the treatment area,
How much correction or enhancement is needed to achieve the desired outcome,
Whether there are discounts or offers available.

While Sculptra® is not covered by health insurance, those who are living with HIV and have facial lipodystrophy syndrome may be covered for the procedure.
