Sculptra, Radiesse, Derma

WHAT IS SCULPTRA

Sculptra, the original PLLA collagen stimulator, reduces cheek wrinkles, firms skin, and enhances skin quality by replenishing lost collagen. This FDA-approved injectable gradually restores facial volume with natural-looking results—94% of patients agreed even after two years (sculptrausa.com).

RADIESSE | DERMA

Derma PRP undergoes a heating and cooling process to form a gel-like consistency, providing volume like traditional fillers while stimulating regeneration and tissue healing.

Radiesse, like Sculptra, is a biostimulator that boosts collagen and elastin, helping to prevent wrinkles, sagging, and promote a youthful appearance.

FAQ’s

  • The Aesthetic Collective excels in utilizing Sculptra to target facial wrinkles and folds. Our skilled specialists employ precise injection techniques to effectively address smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Sculptra is clinically validated for treating these prevalent facial issues, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles.

  • Sculptra is designed to deliver long-lasting outcomes that develop gradually, lasting for approximately two years. Initial changes might not be immediately visible post-treatment, but this is a normal and transient phase. The full effect of the Sculptra treatment usually emerges through three sessions spread over a couple of months. Due to the gradual progression, anticipate subtle yet visible enhancements in diminishing facial wrinkles and folds when reviewing pre- and post-treatment pictures.

  • On average, three treatments are required to see noticeable results. However, the number of Sculptra treatments needed varies based on individual goals and skin concerns. Schedule a consultation with one of The Aesthetic Collective’s professionals for a personalized recommendation tailored to your needs.

  • Sculptra, an FDA-approved treatment available in the United States since 1999, is a synthetic material known as poly-L-lactic acid. This biocompatible substance is naturally absorbed by the body and has a history of use in dissolvable stitches.

    One of the advantages of Sculptra is that it doesn’t require allergy testing before treatment due to its composition without human or animal components. Some common side effects include temporary injection site reactions like pain, redness, bruising, and tenderness. In some cases, small bumps may appear under the skin upon pressure. More severe but rare side effects can include larger lumps with or without inflammation.

    The duration and severity of side effects can vary. If you encounter any side effects, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider.

  • To estimate the cost of treatment, various factors come into play, such as:

    - Number of required treatment sessions

    - Amount of Sculptra vials per session

    - Level of correction needed as determined by you and our specialists

    - Specialist fees

    - Current discounts and promotions

    Because injection expenses vary individually, scheduling a consultation is recommended. Typically, total treatment expenses can range from $1,500 to $3,500, influenced by the factors mentioned above.

    Comparing costs of facial rejuvenation treatments can be complex, considering factors like desired outcomes, recommended product quantity, treatment response, and duration of results.

    Short-term facial fillers might have lower initial costs than longer-lasting options, but they may require more sessions for sustained effects. It’s wise to evaluate the overall cost over time.
