Sagging cheeks, hollow temples, or deepening lines making you feel less like yourself? If your face is losing its fullness and you’re after a natural, gradual lift—without surgery—Sculptra’s a standout at my Las Vegas practice.
Sculptra stimulates your face’s collagen production to lift and smooth it for fuller cheeks and softer wrinkles.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved collagen powerhouse that goes beyond just filling. I inject it into deeper skin layers in areas like your cheeks, jawline, or temples so it can kickstart your body’s own collagen production. Unlike instant fillers, Sculptra works gradually over weeks to rebuild structure, lift sagging, and smooth lines. At my Las Vegas practice, we love it for its natural, long-lasting vibe. It’s not “plumped” or fake, just a restored, youthful contour.
Your Sculptra session’s a comfy 30-45 minutes. We’ll start with a quick chat about your goals—maybe “I want my cheeks back!” or “Those hollows need to go.” I’ll map out injection sites, often with a numbing cream to keep it easy, then use a fine needle to place Sculptra precisely where it’s needed. You’ll feel mild pricks—nothing intense—and I’ll massage the area to spread it smoothly. You’re out the door fast, looking normal, with no major downtime. Patients here in Las Vegas say, “That was so simple—I’m already excited for the results!”
Minimal—think 1-2 days of mild swelling or redness, easily hidden with makeup. I’ll have you massage the area 5 times a day for 5 days (the 5-5-5 rule) to settle it just right. You might notice a little tenderness, but most are back to normal fast. Results build over weeks as collagen grows and stick around for up to 2 years. It’s a small wait for a big payoff!
Not on my watch—I customize every dose to your face, so it’s gradual and natural. No sudden “puffy” look here, just an enhancement of your natural features. Patients love how it feels like their own skin, just younger and more lifted.
Barely—just mild pricks, and numbing cream keeps you comfy. Some feel a slight pressure during the massage, but it’s quick and tolerable. Our patients often say, “I hardly noticed it!”
Great question! Fillers plump instantly—think lips or under-eyes—while Sculptra stimulates collagen for a deeper, longer-lasting lift. It’s less about quick volume and more about rebuilding your skin’s structure over time. Both work well, but just do different things.
Usually 2-3, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on how much lift you’re after. If your hollows are deep or wrinkles stubborn, we might go for three. Lighter touch-ups might just need two. We’ll figure it out together at your consult.
Absolutely—Sculptra’s FDA-approved and works across all skin tones. No risk of discoloration or weird reactions because it’s just your body’s collagen doing the magic.
