Sculptra In Dallas

Traditional dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, a gel-like compound that attracts water and provides immediate volumizing results. Sculptra works differently as it targets the deeper layers of the dermis, where it stimulates collagen synthesis. With time, the skin’s underlying structure becomes thicker and more elastic, helping to restore more youthful contours.

Sculptra begins to work within a few weeks after injection and gradually enhances collagen levels to improve the skin’s structural foundation. Since collagen regrowth takes time, results do not occur overnight. Most patients will see gradual improvements in fullness and volume within three to nine months. This is an added benefit, as there is no chance of overcorrecting, and results will be subtler.

“The results are very natural, and full-face volumization and improvement in skin texture and fine lines can be achieved with one product. The Sculptra “glow” is a very real thing, and that is why it’s my product of choice when rejuvenating my own face,” says Dr. Dickson.

The skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic cream. Because it is injected into the deep dermis, the filler contains lidocaine to minimize any discomfort. After the injections, the site is gently massaged to help the poly-L-lactic acid molecules distribute evenly for optimal results. Most treatments take less than an thirty minutes here in our Dallas Dermatology office.

Sculptra shines when it comes to restoring facial volume and improving skin texture. It’s commonly used to enhance the cheeks, temples, and jawline—areas that naturally lose collagen over time. But it’s not just for the face! Many people love Sculptra for non-surgical buttock enhancement or to smooth out cellulite. Because it gradually rebuilds collagen, the results look incredibly natural and can last up to two years or more.

Sculptra is ideal for anyone noticing a loss of facial volume or deeper wrinkles that make them look more tired or older than they feel. If you want subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation rather than an instant (and temporary) plumping effect, Sculptra is worth considering. It’s a great option for those who want to refresh their appearance over time without the obvious signs of cosmetic work. If you’re in good health and have realistic expectations, you may be a great candidate!

While Sculptra is a fantastic treatment for many, it’s not for everyone. If you have a history of keloid scarring, active skin infections, or allergies to any of Sculptra’s ingredients, this treatment may not be the right fit. Also, if you’re looking for instant volume like what you’d get with traditional fillers, you might be happier with a different approach. Our dermatologists will assess your skin and goals to make sure Sculptra is the best choice for you.
