Sculptra^® Las Vegas

Engineered Aesthetics

Dr. Engineer is proud to offer a variety of facial fillers to best treat his patients’ facial contours and resolve their aging concerns. Sculptra is an injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid, which allows it to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. Dr. Engineer administers Sculptra strategically, enhancing the skin’s youthfulness. While Sculptra is a “filler,” patients often observe improvements to the skin’s elasticity and luminousness as well.

What is Sculptra?

Like other facial fillers, Sculptra allows your plastic surgeon to restore plumpness and volume to the face that may have been lost to aging, sun damage, or other factors. Sculptra can also reawaken your skin’s natural collagen production, allowing for a less wrinkled, more lifted, and better-contoured appearance. By combining the effects of fillers with skin rejuvenation, Sculptra has an incredible value.

What areas can be treated with Sculptra?

Sculptra is a versatile filler that can be used to treat multiple areas of the face and is often employed as part of a non-surgical facelift or non-surgical rhinoplasty. It can be used to fill in marionette lines, smile lines, or creases around the eyes. Additionally, it can help to add definition to the jawline and improve volume in the cheeks and temples. Sculptra works by boosting collagen production, so changes in appearance manifest gradually over time. This provides a natural look that will jumpstart your self-confidence.

What is a Sculptra butt lift?

Sculptra’s usefulness and effectiveness are not limited to improving the look of wrinkles on the face. Recently, Sculptra has also been used to attain improvement in the appearance of the posterior, as in a non-surgical butt lift. In fact, Sculptra may be used all across the body, even treating wrinkles on the joints, such as the elbows and knees, and improving the look of cellulite. In addition, Sculptra may help patients attain better muscular definition in various areas of the body.

What are the benefits of Sculptra?

Sculptra’s results typically last longer than with other treatments, usually 1-3 years after your initial treatment. While you will see some changes right away, your full outcome will be revealed gradually over the course of a few months. You will then continue to see improvement of deep lines and folds and also begin to see an even softer, more youthful look derived from increased collagen production.

Other benefits with Sculptra include:

Non-surgical and non-invasive
No discomfort or downtime
Improves skin tone and texture
Provides subtle, natural beauty
Can be well-combined with other cosmetic treatments

Who makes a good candidate?

If you are concerned about hollow-looking cheeks and temples, or you are struggling with wrinkles, lines, and folds that make you appear older than you feel, Sculptra may be an ideal solution. As long as you are a healthy non-smoker who has a positive, realistic outlook towards your results, you will be considered a good candidate for Sculptra injections. The best way to find out if Sculptra is a match for your goals is to schedule a private consultation with our team in Las Vegas.

What can I expect from my recovery and results?

Sculptra injections come with little to no downtime, so you can immediately return to your normally scheduled routine. Some clients experience minor swelling, redness, and tenderness at the treatment site, but this fades quickly and can be well-managed with a cold compress. It’s essential that you avoid intense sunlight and heat for the first 48 hours, as these elements can increase your swelling.

As mentioned earlier, because your transformation is based on the natural regeneration of collagen in the face and body, results will take time. Gradually, your skin will appear more youthful, supple, and radiant, and you will witness a reduction in wrinkles, lines, creases, and folds. Your outcome with Sculptra can last anywhere from 1-3 years.

How much does Sculptra cost?

Sculptra will typically cost about $1000 per vial in the United States, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It is considered among the most cost-effective dermal fillers on the market, thanks to its long-lasting results, which can continue to impress for 1-3 years. The average number of vials required during a Sculptra session will vary, based on the client’s needs, but generally range from 2-4. A Sculptra butt lift may use as many as 5 vials per butt cheek.
