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.

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
