“Volumizing” is the new hot new word in anti-aging cosmetic surgery and I am very excited about a new product that moves beyond just reducing wrinkles and fine lines in the face.
Sculptra® Aesthetic, recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, brings a brand new option for women hoping to turn back the visible signs of aging and rejuvenate their appearance. It gives us a new, less invasive and effective way to target the lines and wrinkles that form on the face as we lose volume with age. Honestly, what it does is pretty magical. Our patients leave with a more refined, fuller, more youthful-looking appearance to the face that can last up to two years.
Sculptra® Aesthetic works by tackling the root cause of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly the loss of collagen, the fibrous protein that gives skin its elasticity and strength. As we age, collagen breaks down. In some, the breakdown of collagen also results in drastic changes to the contours of their face. Sculptra® Aesthetic offers a brand new way to counteract that, restoring the face to its natural shape.
Previously, patients who needed this sort of facial contouring would undergo surgical fat injections. This technique is actually two procedures in one – liposuction (used to remove fat from the body), followed by injections of that fat into the face. While an overall safe procedure, liposuction is nevertheless a surgical procedure. That means it must be done in a proper medical facility, with an anesthetist on hand, and the risk to the patient is greater. With Sculptra® Aesthetic liposuction is not required, so it can be done in an office visit, which is safer, less expensive and with few side effects.
Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected into the deep dermis in a series of treatments by a Sculptra-trained physician. It works over time. So it is important to go to all of the recommended treatment sessions – typically three or four treatments over several months. Each session builds upon the previous session to provide more subtle, natural results.
People who should not use the product include anyone with an allergy to any of the product’s ingredients, or those whose bodies produce extreme scarring (keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring). Sculptra® Aesthetic also should not be injected when a person is battling an active skin infection or inflammation near the treatment area.
I am very excited to be able to offer Sculptra Aesthetic in Oklahoma City and beyond. I’ve seen it not only change a woman’s appearance, but her outlook as well. I guess when you feel better about your appearance, you tend to have more confidence and to just feel better about yourself overall. It’s really rewarding to play a role in that.
