Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that works differently from traditional dermal fillers by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. As collagen levels decline with age, the skin gradually loses structure, volume, and elasticity, leading to facial wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas. Rather than providing immediate volume alone, Sculptra® gradually rebuilds the skin’s underlying support system, creating natural-looking rejuvenation that develops over time and can last for years.
Patients throughout Atlanta and Sandy Springs choose Dr. Brian Maloney for advanced facial rejuvenation treatments because of his extensive expertise in facial aesthetics and facial anatomy. Dr. Maloney is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology and has decades of experience helping patients achieve natural-looking results. His personalized approach allows each treatment plan to be tailored to the patient’s unique facial structure, concerns, and long-term aesthetic goals.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that is injected into the deep layers of your skin with a small needle. If you are uncomfortable with needles, or extremely sensitive to the sensation of injections, Dr. Maloney can use a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Treatment sessions take less than 15 minutes. You may experience rare mild redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site for the first 24 hours after treatment. While downtime following treatment is minimal, Dr. Maloney will provide you with easy to follow aftercare instructions to ensure best results and maximum comfort. For example, you may receive guidelines on avoiding excessive sun exposure immediately following a session. For optimal results, Dr. Maloney recommends several treatment sessions over the course of a few months. This supports a natural looking transformation of your appearance that is smooth and youthful. You will begin to see progressively noticeable changes in your skin over time. If you have any questions or concerns in between treatment sessions, you can always call Dr. Maloney for assistance.
What Does Sculptra® Do?
Sculptra® offers a unique way to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation of your skin because it works with your skin to make subtle improvements over time. People won’t notice a sudden change, but instead, they will notice a gradual improvement over a period of several months. Collagen is a key component of healthy, smooth and firm skin. However, as we age, collagen levels in our body slowly depletes. This causes wrinkles and line to form on your face. Sculptra® works in the underlying layers of your skin where deep lines and wrinkles form. Sculptra® uses poly-L-Lactic Acid to replace lost collagen and stimulate your body’s own collagen production. This reinforces the dermal structure of your face. Gradually, the collagen adds volume to make lines and wrinkles disappear and restore the youthful look of your face. The results last for at least two years.
