Sculptra® Aesthetic

Sculptra® Aesthetic is injectable poly-L-lactic acid. This is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable suture material.  Sculptra® Aesthetic is a collagen stimulator and, over time, the body breaks down and removes the Sculptra® Aesthetic, leaving new collagen in its place. Two to three treatments, spaced approximately six weeks apart are usually necessary. Results may be noticed beginning approximately six weeks after the second treatment.  Sculptra® Aesthetic generally lasts about two years and we find that patients returning after that time, for maintenance, require less volume than their initial treatments.

At CYNTHIA GREGG MD, FACE & BODY SPECIALISTS, for the comfort of our patients in Cary, Raleigh, and the surrounding areas of North Carolina, we add lidocaine to the product before administering the injections and also provide numbing cream.

The areas of treatment for men and women include:

  • Deep folds between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds) “smile lines”
  • Cheeks
  • Temples
  • Submalar (area below the cheek)

Sculptra® Aesthetic and other fillers are commonly used in combination with neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® to relax overactive muscles and can also be combined with other treatment options, such as laser resurfacing and Ultherapy® in order to give you full facial and neck rejuvenation with minimal to no downtime.
