Sculptra in Austin, Texas
Find the secret to youthful skin. Slow down the underlying causes of facial aging.
Sculptra
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable that works gradually in a series of treatments — on average, three injection sessions over a few months — for a subtle, more youthful-looking appearance. Sculptra targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging. It can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for more than 2 years. It begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra helps to replace lost collagen.

How soon will I see results?
Sculptra Aesthetic is designed to give you noticeable results that emerge gradually and can last more than two years.* Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see immediate results. A few days after treatment, you may look as you did before treatment. This is normal and temporary. The Sculptra Aesthetic regimen delivers its full effects with an average of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months. Because results happen gradually, you’ll see subtle, yet noticeable, results in the reduction of facial wrinkles and folds by comparing images before treatment and a couple months following treatment.**
How soon after treatment can I wear makeup?
If there are no complications, you may apply makeup several hours after treatment. Be sure to consult your doctor after treatment.
