Sculptra

Fine lines and wrinkles are natural parts of the aging process, but they don’t have to be permanent fixtures on your face, thanks to our injections of Sculptra in Pasadena and Arcadia.

Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation in Pasadena and Arcadia

As we age, our appearance changes in a number of different ways. The changes that you see on your face as you get older will vary according to a number of factors, including things like weather exposure, lifestyle choices, and your simple genetic makeup. In most cases, though, the end result involves the all-too-common appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, encouraged by the loss of facial volume that often results as a natural part of the aging process. Lost volume and increased skin laxity are never exciting changes to see in the mirror, but thanks to Sculptra, they certainly don’t have to be permanent ones.

This highly effective injectable filler is a great way to restore lost volume, smooth over fine lines, and address the presence of frustrating wrinkles for a rejuvenated look with little to no downtime. Sculptra is one of the most respected facial fillers on the market, and we’re excited to be offering it at our Arcadia and Pasadena locations, making it easy for you to enhance your look without taking too much time away from your busy schedule. To get started, reach out to a member of our team and set up your initial consultation at V Line Cosmetic Today.

How Does Sculptra Work for Me?

Restoring Volume

Sculptra is known as a poly-L-lactic acid facial filler. It is approved by the FDA for use in the face to address the presence of mild to moderate fine lines, wrinkles, and facial sagging. A normal part of the aging process slows down your body’s natural production of two compounds known as collagen and elastin. They help your skin retain moisture and generally hold onto its more youthful and voluminous appearance.

Collagen and Elastin

The aging process can deplete your body’s stores of collagen and elastin, leading to skin that displays excess laxity. This can lead to sagging or drooping in various places, creating a somewhat tired or even haggard appearance while also encouraging the formation of lines and wrinkles that might even work to make you appear a bit older than you actually are. Sculptra offers you a non-surgical solution to these issues.

Quick, Easy, and Effective

You’ll enjoy a quick and easy treatment experience thanks to our use of a very fine-gauge needle to administer the injections. We’ll also provide you with a topical numbing cream to help ensure that the whole process is as comfortable as possible. The treatment only takes about 15 to 45 minutes to complete. You’ll experience some redness or tenderness after the treatment, but these after-effects will fade very quickly.

Is Sculptra a Dermal Filler?

Sculptra is a type of dermal filler, but it functions differently from traditional dermal fillers by stimulating collagen production over time rather than providing immediate volume.

The choice between Sculptra and other dermal fillers depends on your specific cosmetic goals and the desired duration of results. One of our professionals at V Line Cosmetic can consult with you on this to determine the most suitable treatment for your needs. This can also result in an alternative injectable treatment being recommended.

Traditional Dermal Fillers: Traditional dermal fillers are typically made from substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or synthetic materials. They are designed to provide immediate volume and fill in wrinkles, lines, and hollow areas by plumping up the skin from beneath. The results are often noticeable immediately and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Sculptra: Sculptra, on the other hand, is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible and biodegradable material. Sculptra is not used for immediate volume enhancement. Instead, it stimulates the body's natural collagen production over time. The results from Sculptra are gradual and become more apparent as collagen builds up in the treated area. Sculptra is often used to restore lost facial volume and improve skin texture. The effects can last up to two years or more.
