Sculptra Treatment in St. Louis: Enjoy Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation

Our faces are constantly changing as we get older. Over time, your skin begins to lose essential substances such as collagen and fat, which can leave you with unwanted signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our medical spa offers a unique injectable treatment called Sculptra, which can significantly reduce these cosmetic skin issues with impressively long-lasting results.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a one-of-a-kind dermal filler used to create smoother, fuller facial skin and to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sculptra also helps to restore collagen over time to gradually bring back a more youthful appearance. Collagen is an important protein that’s vital to the health and structure of our skin, but as we age, our bodies begin to produce less of it. By working to stimulate increased collagen production, Sculptra provides long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

While hyaluronic acid-based fillers are extremely popular for restoring a natural-looking youthfulness to the face, there are some clients who don’t want the “overnight” or immediate results of these treatments. Sculptra is a great alternative for men and women who prefer a more subtle and gradual approach to reducing their signs of aging.

Sculptra is a synthetic volumizing filler that is made from poly-L-lactic acid. This product works to safely restore collagen to your skin and help treat common aesthetic concerns, such as the following:

  • Marionette lines
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Hollow cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Smile lines
  • Jowls
  • Hollow temples

  • Improved facial contours
  • Enhanced jawline definition

What to Expect During Your Sculptra Treatment in St. Louis

Your full Sculptra treatment at R Medical Spa will consist of several individual sessions designed to gradually replenish collagen and treat your specific aesthetic concerns. During your consultation, we will take a close look at your skin and listen to your expectations to formulate a personalized Sculptra treatment plan for you.

To begin your Sculptra treatment, you’ll have a topical anesthetic applied to your facial skin to minimize your discomfort. One of our skilled nurse injectors will then use a very fine needle to carefully inject Sculptra into your skin in the targeted areas. The treatment session should only take about 15 to 30 minutes, and you can head home or return to work immediately after it’s finished.

What Is the Recovery Like After Sculptra Treatment?

Typically, Sculptra treatment does not require any downtime. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated areas, but these symptoms usually subside within a week. To ensure proper healing and optimal results, you should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before engaging in strenuous exercise.

I had a WONDERFUL experience at Renaissance Plastic Surgery! Dr. Boschert made my husband and I extremely comfortable during the entire process. He educated us both on what all the procedure would entail, giving us just the right amount of information where we felt knowledgeable about the choices and not overwhelmed. I am EXTREMELY pleased with my results!
