Sculptra

General Descriptions

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that helps gradually replace the collagen loss ,which is the most common protein in the body used for the building of a framework in order to support cells and tissues.

Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and it helps to rebuild collagen loss through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.

How do we do it

As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.

Sculptra works with the body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.

How many treatment sessions are necessary

Sculptra produces a progressive and natural improvement, which requires several treatment sessions. On average, 3 sessions in consecutive months are recommended. Logically, each case must be individually assessed by a physician to establish the most convenient number of treatments.

Recovery and Results

Patients might return to work and daily activities immediately after the procedure is done.

Some of the results include the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure can boost the patient’s collagen development and it provides long-term natural-looking results. Moreover, it is hypoallergenic, smoothing the skin texture.

It is a minimally invasive treatment with virtually no deathline!

Restylane

General Descriptions

An HA (hyaluronic acid) filler used to restore volume loss due to aging. It provides natural-looking results by smoothing facial wrinkles and folds. There are many types of Restylane fillers that vary in consistency and flexibility (Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne), providing lip enhancement, smoothing lines around the mouth , and adding lift and volume to the cheeks , and reversing signs of volume loss on the back of the hands.

How do we do it

The process is carried out through micro-injections directly into the skin. It replaces the lost hyaluronic acid, besides it allows reshaping and contouring of the face and lips, as well as giving volume to areas modified by the aging process. As it contains lidocaine, the discomfort is minimal.

How many treatment sessions are necessary

The treatment is completely personalized and will depend on the patient’s age and degree of aging. The most important thing is that the results are visible from the first session.
Giving a sample situation, if we do a session before the summer, we will have to redo in two months so that the skin looks beautiful and hydrated for the next nine months.
In the case of mature or more photo-aged skin, two or three sessions four weeks apart may be required to achieve healthy skin.

Recovery and Results

Restylane has been proven to provide long term results, generally lasting 6 to 9 months or 12 months (the longevity of the product also depends on the condition of the skin and the amount of product used to correct the problem).

In general combining cosmetic dermal filler treatments with treatments such as Botox injections, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing or skin tightening will enhance the results and in certain cases, make Restylane longer lasting.

Regarding recovery, the patient after the treatment will be able to live a completely normal life, although some bruising or swelling at the injection site is expected. Patients can return to normal activities immediately. If necessary, injection discomfort can be treated with an ice pack.

JUVEDERM

General Descriptions

Hyaluronic Acid is the main ingredient behind JUVÉDERM!

Receiving this treatment helps add volume to different areas of the face without surgery. It is used to give structure, shape and hydration to the skin. It also temporarily restores the loss of volume below the surface that we lose with aging.

There are many types of Juvederm filler varying from duration, cohesiveness and consistency.

The areas that can be treated are:
Lips, Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under eye hollowing, cheeks, temporal area, nose and more..
JUVÉDERM adds contour, definition and plumpness to areas so patients can look years younger without plastic surgery.

How do we do it

In the consultation, the specialist will evaluate which areas of the face are best suited to apply JUVÉDERM according to the individual needs. Not all fillers can go everywhere, therefore it is very important to go to an experienced provider for optimal results.

Topical anesthesia will be provided for comfort and a less painful experience. The specialist takes extra measures to ensure that the patient’s experience is optimized and the chances of swelling are reduced. Next, doctors will use a fine needle to inject the facial filler under the skin, these injections are virtually painless and only take a few minutes to complete.

How many treatment sessions are necessary

Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm provide noticeable results, the results are temporary. This is because our bodies metabolize these products slowly over time. Fillers can last from 6-12 months or some like VolumaXC from Juvederm can last up to 24 months. The choice of filler depends on the area being treated and desired result.

Recovery and Results

For a proper recovery, avoid makeup for 12 hours after treatment and minimize strenuous exercise, prolonged exposure to sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours after treatment, as they can cause temporary redness, swelling or itching at the injection site.
JUVÉDERM fillers are an excellent alternative to surgery because you can see wonderful results immediately and are optimized in 1 month.
