Sculptra

The 2021 buzz words in aesthetics are collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and for good reason! Collagen is a protein that is found deep in the skin that gives skin structure. It supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid which helps to maintain the skin’s shape, while keeping it smooth and hydrated. A healthy supply of collagen makes for a more youthful appearing complexion.

There are a plethora of collagen creams and supplements on the market. Creams are not able to penetrate the dermis, but they are able to moisturize skin and briefly improve its appearance. The effects of oral collagen supplements remains inconclusive. Then, there is Scupltra! 

Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator that helps to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles by revitalizing collagen production, skin structure, and volume.

Remember my moto, skin care is a journey, not a sprint….slow and steady wins the race. Sculptra is one of those agents that works over time! Once we reach “correction”, Sculptra can last up to two years.
