Sculptra in San Diego, CA

If you have tried other dermal fillers and injectables and aren’t seeing the results you want, it might be time to consider Sculptra®. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra® can help patients obtain results that are simply not possible with traditional dermal fillers. At Pollack Plastic Surgery, conveniently located in the Hillcrest area of San Diego, Dr. Robert Pollack and his team offer Sculptra® treatments for patients living in Alpine, La Jolla, and other nearby communities in California.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved liquid made of Poly-L-Lactic acid. Poly-L-Lactic acid is a synthetic form of lactic acid, which is naturally formed in the body. When injected into the skin Sculptra® encourages collagen production. This collagen production tightens and adds volume to your skin gradually. As your own tissue begins to regrow and increase in volume, the Poly-L-Lactic acid dissipates. Since Sculptra® triggers collagen production, results will not be seen immediately and can take anywhere from four to six months to become apparent. Sculptra® is non-surgical and treatments usually take 20 minutes to an hour. There is no downtime with Sculptra® beyond minor swelling at the injection site. Patients can return to work or home same day.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Sculptra®?

Common treatment areas for Sculptra® include sunken cheeks and temples. Many patients also choose to have Sculptra® injected in the chin and jawline. Sculptra® can also be injected into the chest to treat wrinkles and folds on the dècolletè.

When Will I See Results After Sculptra®?

Results from Sculptra® are not immediate and usually take about four to six months to become apparent. Since Sculptra® stimulates natural collagen production, results depend on how long your body takes to produce and benefit from the increased collagen. Though the results make take longer to appear than traditional dermal fillers and injectables, the results are long-lasting, typically maintaining for up to two years.

Am I A Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

If you’ve tried other dermal fillers and injectables and haven’t achieved the results you’re after, you may be a good candidate for Sculptra®. Patients with loss of volume in the face and jaw are also good candidates for Sculptra®. A consultation with Dr. Pollack and his team will determine if Botox® is right for you and your goals.

If you’re looking to improve the volume and look of your skin through natural collagen production, Sculptra® might be right for you. Dr. Pollack and his team at Pollack Plastic Surgery, offer Sculptra® and other procedures to both men and women who live in and near San Diego, including the areas of Alpine, Hillcrest, La Jolla, and other surrounding communities.
