Sculptra aesthetic is a special type of wrinkle filler, capable of treating a variety of age-related imperfections and achieving long-lasting results. Made with an injectable polymer called poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra can actually stimulate delayed collagen growth.
Before 2009, Sculptra was mainly used to correct facial lipoatrophy, a condition characterized by degradation of the tissue that caused premature aging. Now Sculptra is FDA approved for cosmetic use and the correction of facial wrinkles and folds.
Treatment Indications for Sculptra in Sacramento
The aging process can cause your skin to lose much of its structural integrity. You may see it gradually become thinner and flatter as fat and collagen deplete.
Sculptra can counteract these undesirable effects by stimulating collagen deposition and correcting the telltale signs of aging, such as:
- Sunken cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Jaw line laxity

What to Expect During the Procedure
The cosmetic improvements typically seen with Sculptra are somewhat delayed, so you should expect a conservative treatment during your initial visit. Dr. Heir injects Sculptra beneath your skin using a special technique. Discomfort can be managed using a dental block or numbing cream.
About four weeks after your first treatment, another may be performed for best results. The results documented with Sculptra have been seen lasting up to one year after the initial treatment.
Possible adverse events include swelling, bruising, redness, lumps, bumps or granuloma formation. Side effects often resolve without treatment, but if this is a concern for you, please be sure to ask questions during your consultation with Dr. Heir about Sculptra in Sacramento or Yuba City.
