Sculptra® Aesthetic in Denver, CO

As we start to age, the complexion can lose volume because of the decrease in essential skin nutrients, such as collagen and elastin. When this happens, your mid-face or cheeks can look flat and hollow. Dr. Rock Navarkal uses Sculptra injections for longer-lasting and deeper volume in the cheeks. Made with poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra also decreases the appearance of fine to deep lines and wrinkles, including smile lines or nasolabial folds. With its unique formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra increases the production of collagen. So even if you stop treatments, your complexion should still look soft and rejuvenated. Schedule a consultation at Mountain Med Spa in Denver, CO to hear about the benefits of Sculptra dermal filler injections.

Sculptra is a popular filler that is able to give Mountain Med Spa individuals a refreshed aesthetic. The perks of this procedure performed at our Denver, CO facility are:

• Smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, and creases
• Restoring lost volume
• Obtaining a more lively aesthetic
• Promoting the formation of collagen and supplementing complexion health
• No surgery, no scars, and no downtime
• Treatments are fast
• Outcomes appear natural and are long-lasting
• FDA-approved and effective

Sculptra works best for patients who want to contour their mid-face without undergoing surgery. Candidates may have naturally flat cheeks while others have volume loss because of age. We can also use Sculptra dermal filler to treat shallow to deep facial lines and wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Since Sculptra's formula helps stimulate the production of collagen, many patients see a visible improvement in the appearance and overall health of their skin.

To determine if Sculptra is right for you, we will complete a consultation to discuss your cosmetic goals and create a treatment plan. Generally, a member of our team can perform the injections on the same day as your consultation. If we can, the procedure is completed in one of our private treatment rooms. Taking about 30 minutes to complete, a team member will cleanse your skin, select the injection sites, and administer the injections.

After your Sculptra treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection areas. These symptoms should subside in 3 – 5 days. For faster healing, patients can apply a cold compress to the injected areas. You should limit UV exposure and always use sun protection. Many patients will see visible improvements right after their injections. Because the collagen needs time to increase, you will see your complete results after several months. When performed as a series of injections over 3 – 4 months, your results can last up to two years.

How much does Sculptra cost?
Sculptra injections can range in price based on how many units are needed to achieve your desired results. You may need multiple injections for the best results. In your initial consultation, your injector will listen to your goals and develop a treatment plan with cost estimates.

How does Sculptra work?
Using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra is a collagen stimulator. It helps to rejuvenate the skin’s strength and appearance as more collagen is produced. The rebuilt strands of collagen can effectively plump moderate to severe folds and wrinkles.

Are Sculptra injections safe?
Along with approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra has been used safely around the world since the late 1990s. Side effects are rare and usually mild, including slight pain, swelling, redness, and bruising. In some cases, a bump may develop when pressure is put on the injected area. Contact us if you experience any abnormal or lasting side effects.

What is the best age to receive Sculptra?
Sculptra is beneficial for individuals who are wanting to reduce the visibility of facial wrinkles. It is often used to correct wrinkles on the chin, fine lines surrounding the lips, and the deeper lines between the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds). Commonly, men and women get Sculptra between the ages 30 – 55. However, Sculptra can be safely used on most men and women who are over the age of 18.

How long do results last?
To make the results last longer, you may need to get multiple Sculptra treatments. Compared to other dermal fillers, Sculptra lasts longer; the results usually last as long as two years. Since the production of collagen continues to develop over time, results take longer to appear but last longer.

Do results from Sculptra appear natural?

Some people are concerned that Sculptra results may appear fake or artificial. However, when performed by an experienced and skilled injector, the outcomes should seem completely natural. Our team at Mountain Med Spa takes great care to ensure that our patients achieve their desired results while still looking like themselves. We want you to have a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance, not an overfilled or "plastic" look.
