Sculptra™ ~ The Art and Science of Sculpting
Ready for a long lasting solution for those sunken areas and wrinkles on your face? The Olympic Dermatology and Laser Clinic is excited to announce the addition of Sculptra™ to our non-ablative facial rejuvenation program. Sculptra™ is the first in a new category of facial thickness and correction of lost facial fat. Sculptra™ is an injectible form of Poly-L Lactic acid which has been shown to promote the skin’s own fibroblasts to create new collagen. This new natural collagen will restore facial volume around the mouth and cheeks and shape the chin and jaw line.
Injectable Sculptra™ has been used in over 30 countries world wide since 1999 in clinical trials involving facial fat loss due to the treatment of HIV. The recent FDA approval for use in HIV patients now enables cosmetic dermatologists to perform this procedure safely as an “off-label” office procedure. Since the Poly-L-lactic acid is a safe, synthetic simple sugar that is biocompatible and biodegradable, there is no need for allergy tests. A series of 3 -5 injections are performed under topical anesthetic at 4 to 6 weeks. Volumetric facial enhancement seen after repeated Sculptra™ injections progress gradually over a 4 month period. For most people, treatment results have been noted to last for years, though touch-ups may be necessary over time.
