Loss of volume occurs during the natural aging process, especially in the mid-face, as the cheeks become flat and hollow. Our office offers Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid dermal filler that allows for longer-lasting and deeper volume replacement in the cheeks. In addition to restoring the fullness of the cheeks, Sculptra can reduce the appearance of shallow to deep lines and wrinkles, like the nasolabial folds (sometimes called smile or laugh lines) that go from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the lips. With its unique formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra helps to increase the natural production of collagen in your body so even after you stop getting treatments, your complexion will still be healthier and stronger compared to before Sculptra injections. Schedule an appointment for a consultation at The Plastics Clinic in South Jordan, UT to hear about the benefits of this injectable treatment.

After your appointment, you may have mild or moderate redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the sites of injections that should heal on their own in 3 – 5 days. To speed healing, you can apply a cold compress to the injected areas. You should limit UV exposure after your appointment and always use sun protection. Most patients will see clear improvements immediately following their injections with complete results seen after 3 – 5 months, as the increased collagen production strengthens the complexion. When performed in a series over 3 – 4 months, your results can be visible for as long as two years.
Dermal fillers like Sculptra can range in price based on how much you need to achieve your desired results. Some patients may also need several treatments for the optimal outcome. During your initial consultation, your injector will ask about your goals and customize a treatment plan with cost estimates.
The main ingredient in Sculpta, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a treatment that works within the dermis of the skin to help stimulate the production of collagen. It can help to rejuvenate the skin’s inner structure and volume as more collagen is produced. The increased collagen will effectively fill out moderate to severe folds and wrinkles.
Approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Sculptra has been used safely around the world since 1999. Side effects are rare and usually mild, including slight pain, redness, swelling, and bruising. Occasionally, small bumps may appear when too much pressure is put on the injected area. Please contact our office if you experience any concerns about side effects that are abnormal or last too long.
