Sculptra® Aesthetic is one of our favorite injectable products at Plastic Surgery Group of Atlanta. Developed to promote collagen production and replenish youthful volume, this biostimulator can produce gradual, natural-looking, and long-lasting effects that can last up to two years.
Whether you want to soften deep facial folds, plump your cheeks and temples, or even shape and tone your lower body, Sculptra® Aesthetic can be an excellent option. Dr. Hart, expert injector Jenny Azar, NP-C, and the rest of our experienced team always strive to produce balanced, subtle Sculptra® Aesthetic results that enhance each patient’s unique features.
Who Is a Candidate for Sculptra® Aesthetic?
We may recommend Sculptra® Aesthetic to patients who:
- Want to soften fine lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin wrinkles, and more
- Desire thicker, more robust skin
- Wish to combat facial lipoatrophy (loss of facial volume)
- Want to obtain a fuller, more sculpted buttocks, reduce cellulite, and/or address “hip-dips”
- Are between the ages of 30-55 (though younger and older individuals may also benefit)
What Does the Sculptra® Aesthetic Treatment Involve?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected in an in-office procedure that typically takes about 45 minutes. The treatment involves carefully administering the injectable into targeted areas of the face or body using a fine needle or cannula (hollow, blunt-tipped needle). Your provider can use a topical anesthetic to mitigate discomfort if you so desire; however, most patients do not find the treatment painful.
Following the procedure, you may notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, but these should subside within a few hours. Although most patients can return to their daily activities immediately, we generally advise patients to avoid strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day. A simple aftercare routine, such as a gentle massage of the treated areas, can help optimize results and encourage even distribution.
How Much Does Sculptra® Aesthetic Cost?
Pricing for Sculptra® Aesthetic is contingent upon:
- The number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results (two to three are often recommended)
- The treatment area (face, buttocks, etc.)
- The incorporation of other procedures
- Anesthesia and facility fees
- Preoperative and postoperative care
At Plastic Surgery Group of Atlanta, we aim to make aesthetic treatments accessible by offering financing options through CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit. These programs allow qualified patients to manage their expenses with flexible monthly payment plans. During your preoperative appointment, our team will provide a personalized cost estimate.
