Home > Cosmetic Procedures > Sculptra®
Sculptra® is one of the most effective volumizing dermal fillers to come along in quite some time. This incredibly long-lasting treatment can add volume to facial areas that have been affected by a hollowed or sunken appearance, particularly in the cheeks, temples and around the eyes. It can also be used for filling in deep lines and wrinkles in the face. Deborah H. Atkin, M.D., our board-certified dermatologist, performs all Sculptra® injections personally and custom-tailors each treatment to the individual patient. With Sculptra® procedures, you will receive treatment from a skilled and experienced physician who can help you attain your ultimate goals.
How Sculptra® Works
Part of the reason Sculptra® results can last so long (2-5 years in many cases), and why it is so effective at restoring volume to facial features, is because of its ability to stimulate collagen to continue replenishing the skin long after treatment has been performed. Composed of a synthetic, biocompatible material, Sculptra® treatment requires no allergy testing, therefore no waiting period. Dr. Atkin will inject Sculptra® with an ultra-fine needle in the areas targeted for rejuvenation. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 to 60 minutes to complete, and results are usually immediately noticeable. Although there may be some mild swelling, bruising and redness after the procedure, most patients can return to normal daily routines right after treatment. Some patients may require a few treatment sessions to ensure the desired results. Dr. Atkin’s experience and skills with injectable cosmetic treatments can go a long way in making sure you achieve the best possible outcome with Sculptra®.
