Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic works by stimulating the growth of the patient\u2019s own collagen. \u00a0Our patients in Pittsburgh have found Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic to be a highly effective treatment, especially if they feel they need a little more facial volume.\u00a0 A key advantage of Dr. Leong\u2019s technique of injecting Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic is that he only uses <a href=\"\/injectables\/microcannulas-pittsburgh-pa\/\">microcannulas<\/a> to perform the treatment, never sharp needles!\u00a0 This approach great reduces the bruising and swelling associated with the procedure as well as increasing the comfort and safety of the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic requires a series of at least three sessions and then a \u201cmaintenance\u201d treatment every year to continue to maximize results. One treatment of Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic is never recommended and will show little to no results.\u00a0 Typically, only one vial is needed per treatment, however, age and facial symmetry determine this and sometimes two vials are needed. Injections during the series are spaced about six weeks apart.<\/p>\n<p>Results typically do not become apparent for several months after the first treatment and can last approximately 2-2.5 years. Before and after pictures are the best way to see and compare results. Sculptra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Aesthetic provides long lasting and natural appearing facial volume which no other dermal filler offers and is highly recommended for the right candidates.
