Since Sculptra was first approved in 2009, many patients have noticed that it effectively addressed lines and wrinkles but also produced a “glow effect.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has verified that the Sculptra glow is real. In fact, it is the first FDA-approved dermal filler of its type that is verified to improve skin firmness and radiance. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, our clinicians often recommend Sculptra for patients who want to look younger and more vibrant.
“It’s exciting to see the FDA recognize an additional, proven benefit of Sculptra that we’ve been seeing for years in our clinical practice,” says Dr. Dickson of Dallas Dermatology Partners. “I love that it’s a natural filler, and my patients love the glow!”
The Essential Facts About Sculptra
Before you can get that Sculptra glow, take a few minutes to learn more about these fillers in Dallas.
Sculptra is a type of dermal filler or injectable comprised of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).
- Although there are many dermal fillers available, Sculptra works differently. PLLA is a collagen stimulator. Once injected, it works underneath the skin, stimulating the cells to produce more collagen.
- As your skin produces more collagen, it develops better structure and strength. Collagen provides the necessary support to plump up the skin—and thereby reduce lines and wrinkles—from the inside out.
Sculptra is often used to address wrinkles, but it can also soften harsh contours, restore lost volume, and—most recently verified by the FDA—create an incredible glowing effect by enhancing skin texture.
Will It Look Like I’ve Had Work Done?
Many of our patients at Dallas Dermatology Partners prefer a natural look when they receive cosmetic treatments. Rest assured, your cheek fillers can be our little secret.
Because Sculptra works from within to rebuild collagen to provide better support to the skin, the results develop gradually. This means that the people who see you regularly aren’t likely to suspect you’ve “had work done.” Within weeks, you’ll notice improvements in your wrinkles and skin texture that create that glowing, radiant look. Patients often see full results after about six weeks.
How Long Can I Enjoy That Sculptra Glow?
Another exciting aspect of Sculptra that sets it apart from other dermal fillers is its longevity. Many of our patients enjoy results for up to two years! As your results wear off, you can schedule touch-up appointments here in Dallas to maintain your youthful glow.
