Restore Facial Volume Naturally with Collagen-Stimulating Injections
At Allure Aesthetics MD in Sugar Land, TX, we offer Sculptra® to help you rejuvenate your appearance by restoring lost facial volume gradually, naturally, and long-lastingly. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to volume loss, sagging skin, and wrinkles. Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator injection made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which works with your body to rebuild your skin’s inner structure and provide subtle, natural-looking results over time.
This non-surgical facial volume loss treatment is ideal for individuals looking for a more youthful appearance without the “overfilled” look or need for frequent touch-ups.
What Is Sculptra® and How Is It Different from Traditional Dermal Fillers?
While both Sculptra® and dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, they work in different ways:
- Dermal Fillers (like hyaluronic acid fillers) provide immediate volume and results, often lasting 6-12 months.
- Sculptra®, on the other hand, stimulates your own natural collagen production gradually. Results appear subtly over several weeks and can last up to two years or more.
If you’re looking for progressive, natural-looking rejuvenation, Sculptra® may be a better option for long-term facial volume restoration.
Benefits of Sculptra® Injections:
- Stimulates collagen production over time
- Results last up to 24 months or more
- Subtle, natural-looking enhancement
- No surgery or downtime required
- Safe and FDA-approved
- Suitable for various facial areas
- Improves skin texture and firmness
- Minimal risk of allergic reaction (biocompatible formula)
What Areas Can Sculptra® Treat?
Sculptra® is versatile and can be used to address volume loss in multiple areas, including:
- Cheeks and mid-face
- Temples
- Jawline and lower face
- Smile lines and nasolabial folds
It’s also popular for non-surgical buttock enhancement and body contouring in some cases, though these uses may vary based on provider discretion.
