Sherman Oaks Sculptra Treatment

Part of the aging process is losing volume in your skin and tissues, but that doesn’t have to be inevitable. Sculptra is an injectable treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the targeted area, giving new plumpness to areas like your cheeks, lips, butt, and more.

If you want to see what Sculptra treatments can do for you, book an appointment with the medical team at Glow Aesthetic Center online. You can also call our office at (818) 905-8815 if you prefer to speak with a team member. When you come in, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your specific beauty goals.

Sculptra’s Secret: Poly L Lactic Acid

Sculptra treatments involve an injection administered by a board-certified practitioner. The injectable’s primary active ingredient is a polymer called poly L lactic acid. While it’s a synthetic polymer, it has been used in dissolvable surgical sutures for decades and is perfectly safe to be used in the body.

The Sculptra process builds up the volume in the targeted area naturally, with a few simple steps:

1. Spheres of poly L lactic acid are injected.
2. These spheres create microscopic damage to the tissue, causing the body to stimulate increased collagen production.
3. The collagen congregates around the small spheres of poly L lactic acid.
4. The spheres eventually dissolve and are metabolized by the body.

Not only is the process safe, but it also means the volume you recover is truly your body’s work. It’s all-natural, built from your body’s own collagen production.

Why Collagen Is Important for Your Skin and Tissues

So why this emphasis on collagen? It’s one of the most abundant proteins in your body, and it’s responsible for providing structure to important things like your skin, organs, connective tissues, and bones.

Collagen, along with its sister protein elastin, is responsible for providing a gluelike cohesiveness to your skin and tissue, as well as a youthful, plump springiness.

Why Sculptra Is Better than Other Options

Many folks in Sherman Oaks are turning to Sculptra to help reverse volume loss rather than competing options like facelifts and Brazilian butt lifts. There are a host of reasons that we think Sculptra is the better choice.

• Cheaper: With Sculptra, you can reclaim your full volume without having to pay for expensive surgery.
• Safer: Surgery and liposuction have much higher associated risks than a simple injection.
• Pain-free: Sculptra allows you to regain lost volume with merely the mild sensation of a tiny shot.
• No downtime: You can drive yourself home and go about your day without any significant downtime!

Plus, while facelifts and butt lifts focus on smoothing the targeted area and getting rid of excess, saggy skin, they don’t actually restore volume. Sculptra stimulates your body’s own processes to give you back your youthful look.

Your Results Will Last

One of the most common questions for any cosmetic treatment is how long the results will last. Sculptra has been known to provide fullness that lasts for up to two entire years. As such, the team at Glow Aesthetic Center, led by Dr. Homan Siman, recommends touch-up treatments about once every 18 to 24 months.
