Finally… A filler that’s your own natural collagen!

01/02/2013 by Anil R. Shah, MD

SCULPTRA AESTHETIC works to replace lost collagen in a series of treatments administered by Dr. Shah. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. to get those results you’re desiring to get.

Over time, skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance. This is the result of a natural ageing process: the older skin is damaged, becomes thinner, and loses its natural elasticity also fat is lost from the facial contours. As a result, hollows appear around the temples and cheek area. This reduction in skin volume can make the face look thin and narrow; possibly making people appear older than they are.

What exactly is collagen? Collagen is a key structural component that keeps skin youthful looking and smooth. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles. Sculptra Aesthetic works to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, as it replaces lost collagen, which can help provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance.

Sculptra can restore facial contour and get rid of lines and wrinkles without surgery. Sculptra is a synthetic, injectable material that contains skin-smoothing micro particles to help lift and smooth sagging skin, severe wrinkles, creases, dark circles, and scars. Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Sculptra, has been used successfully in surgical procedures for bioresorbable sutures, in bone plates and screws, and as a medium for medication, among others for more than 35 years.

You wouldn’t believe the number of celebrities that prefer to use Sculptra over any other type of injectable. Heidi Montage from MTV’s “The Hills,” Jenny McCarthy, Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox, and even American Idol’s renowned judge Simon Cowell are all big fan of Sculptra Aesthetics!

The result? Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years.
