Sculptra Aesthetic in Asheville, NC

Sculptra in Asheville, NC

Have you noticed your skin has gradually lost the naturally plump appearance you once enjoyed a few years ago? We have just the solution for you! Sculptra® Aesthetic is a unique injectable dermal filler that offers immediate volumizing effects, which also improve over time so your look is refreshed without appearing overdone!

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra’s magic lies in its key ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid—a biocompatible substance (meaning it can safely interact with your body without causing any harm) that has been used safely in cosmetic treatments for many years. Once injected under the skin, this substance triggers your body’s natural collagen production. This process leads to gradual volume restoration in treated areas to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and folds for youthful plumpness.

What areas can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is versatile and FDA-approved to treat fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area. It can also be used to target collagen loss in other areas to achieve both subtle and more transformative results by improving the appearance of:

• Deep facial wrinkles and folds
• Hollow cheeks or temples due to age-related volume loss
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin)
• Forehead lines
• Chin wrinkles
• Décolletage lines
• Hip indentations (hip dips)
• Hands (fill in spaces between bones and tendons)
• Stretch marks
• Cellulite

The Sculptra Butt Lift

Are you looking for a little boost to your backside? Sculptra is also the go-to filler for non-surgical butt lifts. The Sculptra Butt Lift offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional buttock augmentation surgeries like the Brazilian Butt Lift. Sculptra can be injected into targeted areas of your derriere for a subtle boost in volume and lift for a natural, shapely contour.

Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?

People who are bothered by age-related fat loss, sagging skin, or deep-set wrinkles can benefit from Sculptra injections. Sculptra is also ideal for enhancing your natural features and improving your skin’s overall health and appearance in treated areas. The highly-experienced injectors at Mountain Radiance would be happy to help you decide if Sculptra is the right treatment to achieve the aesthetic results you are looking for at your free consultation!

Why your injector’s experience matters

Selecting a skilled, expert injector is crucial for achieving optimal results with Sculptra. Our team of providers has a deep understanding of the dermal filler products we offer and are licensed and extensively trained in injection techniques to avoid the risk of potential side effects and create personalized results you’ll love.

What to expect during your Sculptra treatment

Your injector will discuss your appearance goals and assess the desired treatment area to determine precise injection placement and product dosage. We would be happy to apply a topical numbing agent to enhance your comfort during your treatment, though most patients don’t feel it’s necessary. With your treatment goals in mind, we carefully inject Sculptra with a very thin needle under the skin. Each Sculpta treatment is generally well-tolerated and can be completed in under 30 minutes.

Post-treatment care and recovery

We may advise you to massage the treated area to help ensure optimal collagen stimulation and prevent lumps from forming beneath the skin.

You’ll be able to resume normal activities immediately following treatment in most cases, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days. Your injector will provide specific aftercare instructions during your appointment.

When will I see results?

You’ll see a subtle boost in volume immediately after Sculptra injections and notice that these effects gradually improve over the following weeks and months as your body produces new collagen. Patience is key, but our Asheville med spa patients report the natural, long-lasting results are well worth the wait.

How long do Sculptra results last?

One of the significant advantages of Sculptra is its longevity—many patients report their Sculptra results last up to two years or longer. This is significantly longer than most other dermal fillers on the market.

Maintaining your Sculptra results

If you are pleased with your anti-aging or feature-enhancing results, you can maintain the effects with a touch-up appointment when you feel like your results are diminishing.

Sculptra, or any cosmetic treatment for that matter, cannot stop the natural aging process but can help preserve your results by using professional skincare products and treatments. Medical-grade skincare products are formulated with more potent active ingredients, so you see stronger improvements in your skin’s health and appearance in less time. These products are also typically backed by clinical research and can be curated by our skincare specialists to help you treat existing skin concerns and prevent new concerns from developing in the first place.

And don’t forget SPF! Regular use of sunscreen prolongs your skin’s health and protects the results of your med spa treatments—90% of visible skin changes are a direct result of UV exposure.

Common side effects of Sculptra

You may experience some mild side effects, such as slight swelling, bruising, inflammation, or pain and redness at the injection site after a Sculptra injection. These are typically mild and usually resolve on their own within a few days.

Rarely, patients may experience lumps under the skin, hypersensitivity reactions, or hypertrophic scarring. If you notice any unusual or prolonged side effects, our team can answer any questions and help guide you on the next steps to quickly and safely mitigate these uncommon Sculptra side effects.

Ensuring patient safety

Patient safety is the top priority at our Asheville cosmetic skin clinic. Our expert injectors adhere to the highest standards of care, ensuring that all treatments, including Sculptra, are administered safely and effectively. We will also provide you with important safety information so you feel confident in your treatment.

Mountain Radiance is also under the active supervision of board-certified physician Dr. Mark Chandler to ensure each provider stays up to date on the latest advancements in aesthetic medicine and that each cosmetic procedure we offer has been thoroughly vetted for safety and efficacy.

Comparing Sculptra to other dermal fillers

Sculptra stands apart from other dermal fillers because of its innovative ability to provide an immediate enhancement in treated areas and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for gradual, more natural-looking results.

The Sculptra difference

Sculptra’s unique formulation and longer-lasting results make it a preferred choice for many patients seeking subtle, natural rejuvenation. Sculptra’s versatility in treating multiple areas and its effectiveness in achieving a shapely silhouette as a non-surgical butt lift option make Sculptra a standout option to enhance your appearance.
