Wrinkle Reduction and Facial Contouring

Sculptra

Sculptra is not a filler used for focused correction of hollows, such as with hyaluronic acid RHA family, but rather a biostimulant that induces your body to synthesize its own collagen gradually over several months and results in an overall facial contour and skin quality that appears healthier and more youthful. The results typically last 2-5 years. The procedure usually must be repeated, with a rough guideline of 1 vial of Sculptra per decade of life, to achieve your desired goals. Sculptra in a more dilute form may also be used to induce skin tightening in such problem areas as the chest and the fine wrinkling that naturally occurs with aging of the arms, abdomen and legs. We do everything possible to keep you comfortable during the treatment, such as applying topical or local numbing medicine or providing you with relaxing medication if necessary. You will be provided with aftercare instructions.

RADIesse

Radiesse is a biostimulatory wrinkle filler based on calcium hydroxylapatite, a natural component of human bone, and, like Sculptra, induces collagen and elastin synthesis to provide wrinkle and volume correction lasting approximately 1.5 years. In its dilute form, Radiesse performs well to tighten the fine wrinkling and laxity that occurs naturally with aging of the skin of the neck, chest, and body. We do everything possible to keep you comfortable during the treatment, such as applying topical or local numbing medicine. During the recovery period, you may expect some bruising and swelling that may last a few days.
