Why Men Should Get Sculptra
Posted on June 28, 2021 by
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that can help combat the wrinkles and facial sagging that occurs when the body’s natural production of collagen decreases as we age. Sculptra Aesthetic can also promote natural-looking progressive rejuvenation as it helps to stimulate the ongoing production of collagen. Men’s faces are every bit as likely as women’s to develop lines as they age; although men are typically less sensitive to minor wrinkles,...
Sculptra vs. Botox
Posted on September 25, 2020 by
When looking for ways to reduce or eliminate fine lines or wrinkles, you’ll find that there are two commonly-used ways to address these problems: dermal fillers or Botox. Sculptra is a widely-used injectable product that “fills in” facial lines, while Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that can relax the facial muscles that are causing the lines. Unsurprisingly both strategies have their strengths and weaknesses; today, we’re going to explore where...
There are three main families of injectable dermal filler products – the Restylane product family, the Juvederm product family, and Sculptra Aesthetic.

Posted on February 18, 2014 by
Last week, we introduced you to a new derma filler and volumizing drug, Voluma, that was FDA-approved in Dec., 2013. But when it comes to restoring fullness to areas of the face that have lost their youthful contours, Sculptra offers another very attractive alternative.

The “Liquid Facelift”
Posted on November 26, 2013 by
Last week, we talked about one of the newest beauty products to be approved by the FDA, Voluma. But it’s important to note that Voluma is not the first product to evolve from the popular “derma fillers,” like Restylane, Juvederm et al, as a “volumizer.” Appropriately, it’s called Sculptra.
