Sculptra® Aesthetic is injectable poly-L-lactic acid, which is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable suture material. Sculptra® Aesthetic stimulates collagen types 1 and 3; over time, the body breaks down and removes the Sculptra® Aesthetic, leaving new collagen in its place. Two to three treatments, spaced approximately six weeks apart, are usually necessary. Results may be noticed beginning approximately six weeks after the second treatment. Sculptra® Aesthetic generally lasts up to two years, and our patients returning after that time for maintenance require less volume than their initial treatments.

At CYNTHIA GREGG MD, FACE & BODY SPECIALISTS, we add lidocaine to the product for the comfort of our patients before administering the injections and also provide numbing cream.

The areas of treatment for men and women include:

• Deep folds between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds) “smile lines”
• Cheeks
• Temples
• Submalar (area below the cheek)

Sculptra® Aesthetic and other fillers are commonly used in combination with neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify™ to relax overactive muscles. It can also be combined with other treatment options, such as laser resurfacing, Sofwave™, and Ultherapy® to give you total facial and neck rejuvenation with minimal to no downtime.
