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.

Sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles are a normal part of the natural aging process. While plenty of cosmetic injectables can refresh your appearance, Sculptra is the only filler that activates your skin’s intrinsic regenerative process. It’s made of Poly-L-lactic acid which triggers the production of collagen–the protein that keeps skin firm and supple.

This FDA-approved dermal filler does more than plump up hollow areas in the face. Each Sculptra treatment restores the skin’s underlying infrastructure for amazing natural looking results because diminished collagen is replaced. As a proven collagen stimulator, Sculptra is the anti-aging maintenance treatment of choice for our Dallas patients.

Benefits of Sculptra for Anti-Aging

Sculptra goes the distance by working synergistically to renew your skin’s elasticity and tone. Once injected deep beneath the skin’s surface, the Poly-L-lactic acid micro-particles stimulate the body to build collagen over a period of weeks and months. As a result, patients notice steady but measurable improvements in wrinkles and creases, as well as overall firmness. In addition, Sculptra restores lost volume and fullness over time, allowing patients to age gracefully. The gradual onset of rejuvenating effects is another advantage, as Sculptra never produces an over-filled look.

Long-Lasting Rejuvenation

Sculptra is different than injectable dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid that temporarily restore lost volume. These treatments are effective for lifting and plumping, but only for short periods. Since Sculptra rebuilds your skin’s framework from the inside out through collagen synthesis, the results can last upwards of two years. Even if injections aren’t repeated, patients will still reap the anti-aging benefits of the newly formed collagen.

Versatile Injectable Filler

Sculptra promises natural-looking facial improvements and is also great for the neck and chest. The injectable rebuilds collagen fibers helping to diminish the appearance of:

• Smile lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Sunken cheeks
• Hollow temples
• Marionette lines
• Wrinkles on the neck and chest

 

Sculptra Combined with Other Treatments

In the context of anti-aging skin care, Sculptra is a smart option. Its versatility, safety, and mechanism of action make it one of our most popular cosmetic treatments. We often combine it with other therapies, including Botox, laser resurfacing, and BBL, to achieve dramatic improvements in skin tone and clarity. Our dermatologists work with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that focus on specific concerns.

Optimal Results with Several Treatments

Sculptra does not work overnight, which is helpful as it allows us to tailor additional treatments for natural-looking results. The amount of filler injected will depend on the issues being addressed and desired goals. We usually recommend several months between Sculptra treatments to evaluate improvements and assess further injections.

Age-Defying Skincare in Dallas

Sculptra treatments maintain healthy and youthful skin and deliver long-lasting results. For more information about this innovative injectable that replaces lost collagen, we invite you to make a Dallas dermatology appointment today.

The neck and chest get just as much sun exposure as our faces but are often forgotten when it comes to basic skincare and UV protection. Over time, a youthful décolletage can take on a crepey appearance, marked with fine lines and creases. Chest wrinkles are even quicker to develop in large-busted women who happen to be side sleepers. However, there is good news for chest rejuvenation that doesn’t involve lasers or invasive procedures.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we’ve had tremendous results treating chest wrinkles with a popular dermal filler known as Sculptra. Renowned for its volumizing effects on the face, Sculptra Dallas does more than plump up aged and wrinkled skin. It triggers your body to produce more collagen, which can help prevent new wrinkles and chest lines from developing.

Key benefits of Sculptra chest rejuvenation

Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable sugar molecule that ignites collagen synthesis. As a result, it provides superior results in rejuvenating mature skin on the face, hands, upper knees, and chest area. It improves the skin’s structural framework to correct age-related volume loss.

Consider some of the main benefits of Sculptra chest rejuvenation offered here at our Dallas office.

• Chest wrinkles and lines are visibly smoothed
• Restores lost volume and rejuvenates crepey-looking skin
• No risk of an allergic reaction
• Non-invasive
• Long-lasting results
• Improved confidence and self-esteem
• No downtime afterward
• Produces natural results
• Continued improvements as new collagen is formed

Sculptra for chest wrinkles: treatment outline

Getting Sculptra for chest wrinkles is no different than other cosmetic injectables. It’s advisable to stop blood-thinning medications, vitamin E, and other natural supplements that can increase bruising risk before the treatment.

The injection sites are identified, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied before the filler is administered just beneath the skin. Sculptra injections contain lidocaine, which also helps to numb the area and minimize discomfort.

 

Aftercare tips

You’ll be able to resume your normal activities after a Sculptra chest wrinkle treatment. However, we ask our patients to avoid sunbathing for a few days afterward and massage the injection sites a few times each day. This helps to ensure that Sculptra is evenly distributed, and lumps do not form.

What results can I expect from Sculptra?

Since it takes time for collagen to thicken up the skin and diminish wrinkles, expect to wait three to six months to see the final results. Your dermatologist may recommend a series of Sculptra injections– spaced several weeks apart– to realize the best outcome. With each passing week, the skin on the décolletage will be smoother and supple.

Sculptra Chest Rejuvenation in Dallas

If you’re interested in long-lasting chest rejuvenation with Sculptra, schedule your Dallas dermatology appointment today. While popular in its own right, Sculptra chest wrinkle treatment goes hand-in-hand with neck rejuvenation. Discuss your options and goals during a one-on-one consultation.

If you’re bothered by crepey, wrinkled skin on the décolleté— your lower neckline— a series of Sculptra filler treatments can be an effective, non-invasive solution. This dermal filler is renowned for providing dramatic improvements in both skin quality and volume restoration, and it’s a favorite cosmetic treatment here at Dallas Dermatology Partners.

Though often on display, the skin on the décolletage is regularly overlooked in our daily beauty routines. Fine lines and deep wrinkles can develop quickly on this area of thin, delicate skin as the effects of time and gravity take their toll. Creases and lines on the upper chest are fairly common among women, especially those who are habitual side sleepers.

Let’s discuss other common contributors to causing chest wrinkles and what you can do to rejuvenate and restore your skin.

What Factors Cause Chest Wrinkles?

The two vital proteins that keep the skin supple, elastic, and smooth – collagen and elastin – gradually diminish with the natural aging process. This loss of internal structural support is compounded by UV exposure that further triggers collagen breakdown.

These are the common factors that can cause premature wrinkles and creases on the chest and cleavage:

• Dehydration – a chronic lack of moisture (both internally and externally) is a major culprit. Be sure to stay hydrated and apply an antioxidant-rich moisturizer to your chest and neck 2X daily.
• UV damage – A broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen can help ward off free radical damage caused by repeated sun exposure.
• Sleeping position – women with larger busts who sleep on their sides are more prone to developing visible lines and creases on their chest.
• Ill-fitting bras or shapewear – an unsupportive or badly fitting bra that pushes your cleavage too tightly can create wrinkles over time.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – a sugar molecule that stimulates collagen production. This biodegradable filler is a superior choice for chest rejuvenation, as it replenishes volume while restoring the skin’s structural framework.  The injections strengthen the underlying foundation of the skin, and once the revitalizing effects take hold – they can last for up to 24 months.

For best results, most patients will benefit from a series of 2 or 3 Sculptra treatments spaced one month apart. Since collagen synthesis takes time, the final results won’t be evident for at least six months.

 

Benefits of Sculptra for Skin Rejuvenation

There are several benefits to choosing Sculptra for chest and décolletage rejuvenation, including:

• Non-invasive procedure with no downtime
• Restores the body’s own collagen
• Wrinkles and fine lines are greatly diminished
• Replenishes lost volume and structural support
• Helps to prevent future wrinkles
• Beautiful results that can last up to 2 years

Women have long turned to jawline fillers to achieve a more youthful-looking, well-defined jawline. These nonsurgical fillers enhance the structure, shape, and volume of the jaw, making it more aesthetically pleasing. Yet, men can also benefit from jawline fillers.

Men can achieve a strong, chiseled jawline that draws attention to the flattering features of the face and neck with jawline fillers while providing a more masculine appearance. If you’re thinking about, you should consider talking to one of our dermatologists to discuss whether cosmetic injectables could be right for you. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation and get your questions answered.

 

What Are the Benefits of Jawline Fillers for Men?

In the hands of a skilled dermatologist, well-placed jawline fillers can enhance the natural bone structure of your face to create a more streamlined, well-structured look. This helps create the highly desired “chiseled” jawline.

There is no universal age at which men might consider getting an injectable filler. Rather, the right time to look into fillers for men is determined by your aesthetic concerns and goals.

Contact a dermatologist to discuss jawline fillers if you would like to:

• Achieve a strong, chiseled jawline
• Enhance the structure of your chin to accentuate a square-looking jawline
• Address the look of age-related volume loss in the area
• Reduce the focus on a double chin
• Create a more aesthetically pleasing frame for your face
• Address a slim, weak, or narrow jawline

Jawline fillers will empower you to love the way you look, and in turn, the way you feel about yourself. There is so much power in feeling confident in your skin, and that confidence will radiate from you onto the people around you. Whether you’re looking for a new job or going on dates, jawline fillers will help you become the best version of you.

What Types of Jawline Fillers Are Available?

There are a number of injectable fillers available that can be used along the jawline. They are all FDA-approved.

Depending on your cosmetic goals, your clinician may recommend one of the following:

• Juvederm Volux
• Restylane Lyft
• Sculptra Aesthetic

What to Expect From Your Dermatology Appointment

When you arrive at the dermatology clinic, you can expect to fill out some health forms. Be sure to disclose your full medical history, including whether you’ve previously experienced any allergic reactions. Although injectables have a strong safety profile, it’s always best to proceed with an abundance of caution.

The dermatologist will spend some time discussing your goals for your appearance and explaining your filler options. Once you and your clinician have identified an appropriate filler for you, the treatment areas will be cleansed and numbed.

The injections themselves take very little time to complete. You may feel a pinch and you may experience some minor bruising and swelling, but it will subside quickly. You can return to your usual activities right away.

Wrinkles, loss of skin tone, and facial sagging are inevitable parts of growing older. But if you aren’t yet ready to look your age, you certainly don’t have to. 

There are plenty of aesthetic treatments that can allow you to camouflage your age and even look more energized and refreshed. One such option is temple fillers—an injectable placed in the temples to provide a lift to the upper face and eye area. 

What Exactly are Temple Fillers? 

A temple filler is a dermal filler injectable that is placed in the temples. There are many types of dermal fillers, including those comprised of hyaluronic acid. 

Temple dermal fillers plump up the area, rejuvenating one’s appearance and reducing the signs of aging. It only takes a few minutes to place the temple fillers in position, and there is no downtime required. 

 

Why Consider Getting Temple Fillers? 

You may already know that dermal fillers are a popular option for reducing the signs of aging elsewhere in the face— such as the cheeks, jawline, under-eye hollows, and lips. Now, temple fillers are becoming increasingly popular because they can create results similar to an upper face or eye lift, but without the need for surgery. 

The temples might not receive as much attention as other areas of the face, but they do play a deceptively significant role in the overall shape and contour of your face. When they are full, as in youth, the temples help create better balance for your facial proportions. 

The aging process creates many changes, including the loss of volume in various areas of the face like the temples. Age-related changes in the bone, soft tissues, and connective tissues mean that there is less structural support in the area, leading to loss of volume and the appearance of wrinkles and folds.

Your temples are one of the areas that show the earliest signs of aging and volume loss and can start as early as the mid-20s. If you’ve noticed that your temples are starting to look sunken or hollowed out, it may be time to consider getting dermal fillers in the area.    

What Can Temple Fillers Accomplish? 

If your temples are affected by the loss of structural support, dermal fillers can plump up the area to provide better support to the tissues and skin. Temple fillers can restore a more youthful contour and shape to your face. 

The benefits of temple fillers can include: 

• Restored volume in the temple area 
• Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles around the temples, eyes, and forehead areas 
• Stimulates collagen production for better skin firmness 

Dermal fillers can be long-lasting, but their effects aren’t permanent. The duration of your results will depend on the type of filler used for your treatment and your unique response to it. To maintain your results, you can schedule ongoing touch-up appointments.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, the most popular fillers for men are chin, jawline, and cheek injections. Dermal filler injections with products like Restylane and Juvederm are a safe and effective way to reshape facial features and reverse the effects of age, gravity, and sun damage. Composed of a gel-like substance, facial fillers add volume to soften creases and can be artfully injected to contour the jawline and chin for a more masculine and angular profile.

1. Jawline Contouring

Carefully injected filler along the lateral jawline can provide a more chiseled profile. Men can benefit from this lunch-hour treatment. Jawline filler serves several purposes. It can create a stronger, square-looking profile, balance an asymmetrical jaw, and reduce the appearance of jowls.

2. Reshape and Augment the Chin

Fillers can also create facial harmony and balance by adding subtle projection to the chin. In addition, they enhance natural bone structure to create a strong profile that exudes authority and confidence. Fillers can also fill in a cleft and create a better definition between the neck and face.

3. Restore Volume to the Midface

Collagen and elastin levels decline with age, and this volume loss is particularly evident in the midface. Men can achieve a more youthful look by having fillers injected in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area. Fillers can plump up hollow temples, lift and sculpt cheeks and improve the appearance of tired and sunken eyes.

4. Smooth Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Dermal fillers are an excellent, non-surgical way to combat the inevitable signs of aging, like deeper nasolabial folds and lines that form with repetitive facial expressions. Results are almost immediate, with continued improvements in texture and volume for up to 12 months.

5. Nose Reshaping

Facial filler can disguise nasal humps, add projection to the nasal tip and even create a straighter-looking nasal bridge.

 

6. Combining Fillers with Other Injectables

Many of our patients benefit from combining dermal filler with other cosmetic treatments for men. For example, Botox injections prevent muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and can erase forehead lines and deep furrows between the brows. Injections are virtually painless, and the results generally last up to 4 months.

Fantastic yet natural-looking results can be achieved with a Botox and filler combination during your Dallas dermatology appointment.

Cosmetic injectables have transformed the landscape of anti-aging skincare. Dermal fillers make it possible to turn back the clock by addressing volume loss, smoothing out deep folds, and adding contour and definition where needed. Sculptra is the injectable of choice for many dermatologists when it comes to full facial rejuvenation.

In our practice at Dallas Dermatology Partners, Sculptra has been dubbed the liquid facelift because it does something other fillers don’t– triggers the body’s own collagen synthesis. This is important if you’re over 30 because collagen levels decline every year. It provides the structural framework beneath the skin and keeps us looking youthful and fresh.

 

Does Sculptra Lift the face?

Yes, Sculptra lifts the face by replenishing volume and kick-starting collagen production for supple and elastic skin. Each Sculptra treatment is designed to correct deep facial folds, wrinkles, creases, and sagging contours. Does a Sculptra facelift offer comparable results to a surgical facelift? Not exactly. The two procedures address different concerns.

A surgical facelift removes excess skin but does not restore volume to the nasolabial folds, temples, cheeks, or tear troughs. Sculptra does not correct skin laxity. Instead, it gives natural-looking volume where fat has been lost. In addition, it has the added bonus of improving skin texture and fine lines, unlike a surgical facelift.

Although there is a small degree of residual plumping after Sculptra injections, major improvements become visible over the following months– as collagen levels gradually increase. Most patients see full results within 6 months of their initial Sculptra facelift.

Sculptra Liquid Facelift

Sculptra for face lifting generally takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas of skin being injected and the desired outcome.

The induction of collagen production delivers outstanding results for:

• Adding contours to a sagging jawline
• Addressing concave temples
• Volumizing hollows in the tear troughs
• Lifting and enhancing the cheeks
• Correcting marionette lines and deep folds
• Smoothing fine wrinkles
• Improving skin texture

How Long Does a Liquid Facelift Last?

Sculptra really shines in longevity. A sculptra liquid facelift can last more than two years, which is considerably longer than most hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

Since it activates collagen production over time, this injectable adds youthful volume in a subtle way and doesn’t look overdone. Patients can expect natural, beautiful, and long-lasting results.

Complementary Rejuvenating Treatments

Sculptra may be combined with other minimally invasive rejuvenating treatments, such as Botox injections or RF microneedling to deliver maximum improvements without the risks or expense of a surgical facelift.
