Dermal fillers are one of the most widely used aesthetic treatments to address wrinkles and facial folds in the face, but they can also be used to re-contour your features. VIDA Aesthetic Medicine offers a variety of dermal filler options including Sculptra, the only dermal filler made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike other dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane (which are made with hyaluronic acid, or HA), Sculptra restores facial volume by using synthetic PLLA to stimulate the body’s own collagen synthesis. VIDA injectors including Dr. Thompson, Dr. Jarosz, and Julie Miller, RN, can use Sculptra to treat creases, folds, and deep lines and give clients a more youthful, restful appearance.
Sculptra is different than other dermal fillers because it encourages the body to produce its own collagen, which leads to lasting results. Other popular dermal fillers made with HA also produce incredible results, and HA is safe because it is naturally produced in the body. However, HA-based dermal fillers aren’t as long-lasting as Sculptra due to their inability to stimulate the body’s own collagen synthesis—which is the body’s own organic “fountain of youth.”
Sculptra Works with the Body
Decades ago, when dermal fillers were first available, the singular goal was to fill in lines. However, VIDA injectors are highly experienced and know that this approach can cause disproportions in the face or an unnatural appearance. The goal of VIDA injectors is to enhance a client’s natural appearance without dramatically changing how they look. Sculptra is an excellent choice for this approach because it already works naturally with the body’s collagen production process.
Whether you choose Sculptra or another type of dermal filler, the success of the injections requires that you choose the best provider. An injector should be providing injections every day, not as an occasional treatment. Your face is your first impression, and at VIDA your complete experience with dermal fillers and any other treatment you opt for is our top priority. Learn more about Sculptra and other dermal fillers by scheduling your complimentary consultation with VIDA. Call our office today at (503) 399-0021.
