Have you ever wondered about getting filler? Maybe you thought about getting filler and then heard about Sculptra as an another option? But what is Sculptra?! Sculptra has emerged as a popular choice for those looking to enhance their facial contours and improve skin quality. Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Rather than providing immediate volume like traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production over time. This gradual process can result in a more natural-looking fullness and improved skin texture.
Benefits of Sculptra
Long-Lasting Results: One of the standout features of Sculptra is its longevity. Results can last up to two years, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Natural Appearance: Since Sculptra works gradually, the results are subtle and natural appearing, allowing for a refreshed look without drastic changes.
Collagen Boost: Unlike traditional fillers that provide temporary volume, Sculptra encourages your body to produce its own collagen and elastin, leading to long-term improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
Improved Volume: If you notice hollow areas in your cheeks or temples, Sculptra can help restore lost volume overtime.
Improved Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Sculptra is effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, by improving the skin's texture.
Improved Skin Texture: If your skin lacks firmness or elasticity, Sculptra can improve overall skin quality. Many people love the "Sculptra Glow" that they notice post-treatment. Sculptra gives your skin a radiant glow.
What are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane products, are gel-like substances that are injected into specific areas of the face to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and elasticity.
Benefits of HA Fillers:
Immediate Results: One of the most appealing aspects of HA fillers is that you see results instantly.
Versatility: HA fillers come in various formulations, allowing for targeted treatments across different areas of the face including lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin and under-eye hollows.
Temporary Effects: Results typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the product and area placed.
Sculptra vs. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Which is Better for You?
The answer largely depends on your aesthetic goals, budget, and the specific areas you wish to treat. We highly recommend scheduling a free consultation with one of our injector experts to discuss what is the best for YOU! Here are a few considerations:
For Long-Term Results: If you’re looking for a more permanent solution that improves skin quality over time, Sculptra may be the better choice.
For Instant Gratification: If you want immediate results for a special event or occasion, HA fillers are likely more suitable. We do recommend scheduling treatment at least a month in advance of any special event if this is your first time receiving filler. That way, the product has time to fully settle before your big day!
For overall skin improvement and natural looking results, Sculptra is better for skin quality improvement and overall volume, resulting in a natural refreshed glow.
For adding volume to specific areas, HA fillers can be more versatile for localized treatment and can add volume in a more precise area.
