Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) at The Plastic Surgery Group in Albany, New York is a cosmetic facial injectable that works gradually, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years.
Sculptra® Aesthetic is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial folds, commonly called "smile lines." Wrinkles and folds associated with aging become more apparent because of the breakdown of collagen. Sculptra® Aesthetic helps the body replace lost collagen to provide a smoother appearance to the skin.
Long-Lasting Good Looks
A treatment regimen of Sculptra® Aesthetic at The Plastic Surgery Group in Albany, New York consists of an average of three injection sessions over a period of several months. Sculptra® Aesthetic works gradually and over the course of the treatment period, a more youthful looking appearance is achieved that can last for as long as two years. A recent study conducted for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) showed both injectable users and women considering a medical anti-aging treatment prefer gradual results that last two years (75 percent) as opposed to immediate results that last only one year (25 percent).
