If you are looking for a long-lasting solution that volumizes facial folds and hollows and replaces lost collagen slowly over time, so you look less depleted, younger, and healthier, consider Sculptra. Sculptra is a formulation of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – an ingredient that has been used safely in dissolvable sutures and facial treatments in over 30 countries since 1999. It was first approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of facial lipoatrophy (facial fat loss) and was subsequently approved for broader aesthetic application in 2009. Sculptra is the first biocompatible and biodegradable dermal filler that replaces lost collagen and stimulates new collagen growth over time, reinforcing the underlying structure of the skin. This strengthened structure improves slowly, reducing the appearance of facial gauntness (sunken cheeks, smile lines, deep folds). Sculptra must be administered as a series of several injection sessions a few weeks apart for best results. Contact Dr. Dallas to discuss &/or book!
