The Beauty and Science of Sculptra

The Beauty and Science of Sculptra

The technology and research behind rejuvenation treatments, procedures, and skin care has seen remarkable advancements in a short time. There are more ways to fight wrinkles and fine lines, smooth and tone skin, restore volume, and maintain youthful vitality than ever before. And with so many options, understanding the differences can feel impossible! Here is an insight into what Sculptra is and does. 

Not All Dermal Fillers Are Alike

Like it or not, the aging process will catch up with us eventually. Loss of collagen and elastin that give our skin youthful volume and glow means fine lines and wrinkles develop. Exposure and time add to the exponential aging of our skin. 

Fortunately, technology provides us with several ways to slow — and even reverse — the signs of aging. Dermal fillers continue to increase in popularity and prevalence, but not all are equal. Sculptra is a revolutionary treatment that taps into our natural regenerative process to help replenish collagen. Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra targets and impacts an underlying cause of aging, not just the symptoms. 

Kelly McMahon, PA-C, has extensive, expert knowledge and experience with Sculptra and tailoring treatments to specific patient needs. 

The Collagen Champion

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and plays a vital role in many functions and structures, including skin. FDA-approved Sculptra helps restore volume by replacing lost collagen subtly and gradually. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen stimulator, that helps address the root cause of aging deep within the skin. Sculptra triggers collagen production to restore lost volume while minimizing wrinkles, folds, and sunken areas. 

People who want to restore youthful volume and vitality to their skin often choose Sculptra for its gradual enhancements. 

The Beauty and Science of Sculptra

Subtle and Remarkable

Sculptra injections are naturally absorbed by the body and help to rebuild lost collagen over time. Sculptra treatments target the relevant dermal plane via injections where collagen supports the skin structure. 

Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen over time, with incremental skin improvements. Noticeable and progressive enhancements occur within eight to twelve weeks after treatments. There are several variables to consider depending on the extent of the collagen restoration needed and your specific goals. Sculptra typically involves an average of three treatment sessions over a few months for optimal results, but Kelly McMahon can tailor the sessions to you.

Comprehensive Rejuvenation

By repairing the root cause of aging and ensuring thorough coverage, Sculptra results involve an overall improvement, plumping shallow areas, restoring youthful contours, and thickening the skin. 

Sculptra produces natural results by stimulating collagen production, unlike other injectables that act as fillers. Although collagen development can take some time, the gradual onset of improvements gives patients a more natural look rather than appearing over-filled. And because Sculptra essentially rebuilds the infrastructure of the face, it offers longer-lasting benefits. Results can endure for two years or more! 

Natural Skin Renewal

By holistically leveraging bodily responses, Sculptra helps reverse the signs of aging more naturally than other fillers — lifting, toning, smoothing, plumping, and revitalizing skin. A series of easy, in-office injections, each of which can occur during lunch hour, and little to no downtime makes Sculptra a preferred anti-aging treatment. 

In the world of unique gels that highlight our best features, accentuate our contours, and restore the fullness lost with age, biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra are becoming increasingly popular for their more natural skin renewal properties and the longevity of results.

  • The male aesthetic market is growing but still untapped with lots of potential. Our male patients prefer bioregenerative techniques for gradual, natural-looking results that require less maintenance. At @shinobayderm, we’re excited to train our colleagues, dermatology fellows, and residents on these techniques. As male aesthetics rise, the demand for bioregenerative procedures increases. Men are drawn to gradual, undetectable improvements leading to noticeable transformations, seeking natural-looking results with minimal upkeep to align with their cost-effective mindset. We use NCPR for the face and ECPR for the eyes micronutrients, post-microneedling or prior to any invasive procedure that will injure our old fibroblasts. Can also be use as a mono therapy for some serious TLC for our old fibroblasts ( cells producing collagen and elastic fibers). These blends by @toskanimed_us support the extracellular matrix for our cells to thrive. Men opting for cosmetic procedures often take a comprehensive approach to combat aging, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and effective stress coping mechanisms to align mind, body, and spirit for successful aging. Looking younger than one’s chronological age is significant, shifting men’s mindset to a youthful perspective, engaging in more youthful activities, fostering a feeling of youthfulness. This holistic approach significantly impacts the health span of male patients, especially in their seventh and eighth decades. #maleaesthetics #bioregenerativemedicine #functionalaesthetics #faceequity #getyoungerdontfakeyounger #ncpr #ecpr #toskanimed #polymicronutrients #fibroblasts #nutritition #hydration #protection
  • SCULPTRA💉✨ To regain a youthful appearance, it’s important to recognize that aging is primarily caused by structural changes in various facial tissues. By understanding the typical changes that occur in different age groups, you can anticipate and address these changes effectively. @sculptrabygalderma (PLLA) is an injectable collagen biostimulator that helps preserve the structural integrity of the three key tissues affected by aging: skin collagen, fat, and bone. Maintaining the architecture of these tissues can help prevent the aged appearance associated with bone changes. In my practice, utilizing Sculptra supraperiosteal has enabled me to mimic and preserve this structural integrity, delaying the aging process observed on the facial bones. The future of aesthetics lies in regenerative approaches. As our knowledge of aging and facial anatomy advances, the use of fillers will evolve to focus on regeneration rather than simply adding volume. This shift means we no longer need to rely on excessive fillers to create a youthful look, which can disrupt facial anatomy and potentially interfere with metabolic processes over time. Instead, we will learn to use fillers judiciously – applying the right amount in the right location for each individual patient. Sculptra has been shown to be safe and effective, paving the way for a deeper understanding of regenerative medicine. This approach allows us to not just look younger artificially but to actually rejuvenate and reverse the aging process. 📲 954-765-3005 📨 info@ShinoBayDerm.com 📍 Shino Bay Cosmetic Dermatology & Laser Institute 350 E Las Olas Blvd., #110 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 #sculptra #bioregenerativemedicine #plla #biocollagenstimulation #collagen #elastin #getyoungerdontfakeyounger
