Yes, Scultpra will help correct smile lines. When a small amount of Sculptra is injected into smile lines, it helps reduce the appearance of the lines by producing a lifting effect to the cheeks and jawline where there has been volume loss, by replacing volume in the lateral face, cheeks, and jawline. Sculptra builds collagen, so it can help with long-term correction. But to achieve the optimal result, Sculptra for smile lines is most effective when combined with other hyaluronic acid fillers.
At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we create a specialized plan that aligns with your skin type, skin concerns, and unique beauty goals. Our team of physicians are ready to help you reduce your smile lines with dermal fillers in Dallas and achieve the skin of your dreams, today.
How Smile Lines Happen
As we get older, the skin in our face naturally loses fat, collagen, and elastin. What used to be dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear and disappear with certain expressions) slowly become static wrinkles (lines that are visible even in a relaxed face) and these lines get deeper and deeper as time goes on.
Nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines) are dynamic wrinkles that have transitioned into static wrinkles through time. Though it’s a sign of having lived a laughter-filled life, many people would prefer to reduce the appearance of these lines with help through Scultpra and smile line fillers.
Results That Keep on Giving
Most common fillers contain an active ingredient known as hyaluronic acid, which is very effective at softening fine lines, but rarely helps to address larger or deeper wrinkles, like nasolabial folds.
Sculptra’s active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, a compound that creates a fantastic foundation for healthy skin by slowly constructing and reinforcing the collagen framework in the targeted area. Sculptra provides enhanced structural support for targeted areas, like smile lines, and acts as a new collagen stimulator.
Sculptra is a unique non-invasive dermal filler for smile lines that not only reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after initial injection, but also enhances the firmness and quality of the skin over time.
While results are seen immediately after your first set of injections, the active poly-L-lactic acid will continue to stimulate the area and trigger your body’s natural healing process over the course of a few months. This means that your body will continue to produce additional collagen to tighten your skin and create a toned appearance in the injected area. This dual-pronged approach has shown continued benefits from Sculptra for laugh lines for several months, with some patients still seeing results for nearly two years.
Keep the Smile, Lose the Lines
If you’re looking for perfect results, the most effective treatment is pairing Scultpra for nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid fillers. Aging skin often has volume loss in the cheeks and smile lines are affected by sagging skin on the cheeks. By injecting fillers in the cheeks (near the ears), we’re able to restore full volume to your smile and cheeks, lifting your smile fully so that your smile lines soften completely.
