How Sculptra Can Combat Seasonal Dryness and Volume Loss

Posted on by Dr. Y Anthony Nakamura

Loss of facial volume and skin hydration can make your complexion tired and less youthful over time. The skin may appear less firm as collagen production slows, and fine lines can become more noticeable. Fortunately, Accent On You offers a solution with Sculptra for those in Arlington, TX, and the surrounding areas. Under the expert care of Dr. Nakamura and Dr. Halani, you can maintain a youthful appearance all year long by addressing these seasonal skin challenges effectively.

Understanding How the Skin Changes Throughout the Year

Your skin constantly adapts to internal and external factors influencing its texture, hydration, and appearance. Temperature, humidity, and environmental exposure changes can impact the skin’s ability to retain moisture and maintain its protective barrier.

As temperatures drop, the humidity levels decrease, leading to drier air and, consequently, drier skin. This moisture loss can exacerbate aging signs, including facial wrinkles and sagging skin. Moreover, the natural loss of volume that occurs with age can be more pronounced when skin hydration is compromised. To counter these effects, it helps to understand the root causes and explore viable treatments, such as Sculptra.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biostimulatory aesthetic injectable that helps restore skin structure and facial volume and improve skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra gradually enhances facial contours and smooth fine lines over time, providing natural changes around the injection site. It’s made with FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which helps rebuild the skin’s structural support, resulting in a natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation.

By adding volume back into the face, Sculptra targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and other skin concerns. Ideal for those looking to address volume loss and skin laxity, patients can restore and bring out their youthful glow with Sculptra.

How Sculptra Works Against Dryness and Volume Loss

The primary benefit of Sculptra lies in its ability to boost natural collagen, improve skin quality, and bring back lost volume. As a collagen stimulator, Sculptra injections also enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Patients across Arlington, TX, trust Sculptra as a reliable option to combat the effects of dryness induced by cold weather. Individuals can expect gradual skin volume and texture improvements with customizable treatments, significantly boosting overall skin health.

Common Sculptra Questions

  • How long do the results of Sculptra last? Sculptra is one of the longer-lasting injectables. With proper maintenance and a good skincare routine, results can last up to two years.
  • Is there any downtime after a Sculptra treatment? Most patients experience minimal downtime, usually returning to their normal activities immediately post-treatment.
  • How soon can I expect to see results? Since Sculptra works by enhancing collagen production, results appear gradually, with noticeable improvements typically appearing after a few weeks.

When Will I See Results from Sculptra?

Posted on by Dr. Y Anthony Nakamura

Sculptra is a unique dermal filler that can produce volume over time with long-lasting results. If you’re curious about Sculptra, our team, led by Dr. Anthony Nakamura and Dr. Sameer Halani, can help you learn more about how to rejuvenate your look. Here’s what to know about Sculptra and when you can expect to see results from your treatment.

What is Sculptra?

Aging is the result of a loss of collagen, the connective protein that gives your skin its youthful elasticity and suppleness. As collagen breaks down and is replaced more slowly by your body, gravity can begin to take its toll on your skin. The result is sagging and thinness in areas like the jowls, cheeks, and under the chin. 

Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), an ingredient that can stimulate the production of collagen. PLLA has been used for decades in surgical wound healing, and when injected into the skin, it can produce completely natural volume. Traditional dermal fillers typically use a gel form of hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar that binds to water and produces instant volume. Although it can be effective, many patients prefer Sculptra’s completely natural approach.

What is Sculptra Used For?

Sculptra can rejuvenate areas of the face that begin to experience signs of aging. Some of the most commonly treated concerns with Sculptra include nasolabial folds, jowls, hollow cheeks, and marionette lines. Sculptra is also sometimes used in the backs of the hands where signs of aging can make them appear ropey, thin, and aged. Once injected, it can begin to stimulate the production of new collagen to plump the skin and provide better support, tightening laxity and creating more tautness. Because of the increased amount of collagen, you may also notice a more glowy, luminous quality to your skin. 

When Will I See Results from Sculptra?

You might see some immediate improvement from your Sculptra treatment, but your best results will take weeks to develop. Collagen production is slow, so plan to wait at least 2-3 months to judge your results. For up to six months, your body will continue to make new collagen to replace the Sculptra product as it fades. You can undergo multiple Sculptra treatments if needed, but most patients enjoy results for up to two years with this long-lasting injectable.

Posted on by Dr. Y Anthony Nakamura

Accent On You is here to help patients in Arlington, TX and surrounding areas achieve radiance with personalized Sculptra treatments.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a unique non-surgical cosmetic injectable treatment that works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion. Unlike other dermal fillers that diminish over time, Sculptra is designed to give you long-lasting results, gradually enhancing your features as time goes on to provide a natural-looking improvement. Whether you are looking for an effective treatment against sagging skin or wish to add subtle enhancements to your facial features, Sculptra is the perfect choice.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is injected under the skin in a treatment that is similar to other cosmetic injectables. The main difference between Sculptra and other dermal fillers lies in the product formulation and timelines of results. Dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid work by adding volume to the treatment area with immediate results that will fade as your body metabolizes the product. Sculptra is made with a poly-L-lactic acid, a compound that produces incredible collagen-building results. When injected under the skin, Sculptra provides a scaffolding for your body’s collagen to build on, improving the skin’s volume, texture, tone, and quality over time.

Benefits of Sculptra

Achieving a renewed summer glow with Sculptra poses many great benefits, including:

  • Natural-looking results
  • Youthful appearance

Why Sculptra Is a Perfect Fall Treatment

Sculptra is an excellent back-to-school treatment because it stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, providing a gradual and long-lasting improvement in skin texture and volume. Unlike other fillers, Sculptra’s results develop over several months, giving you a natural and youthful appearance that enhances your natural glow without looking overdone.

Sculptra

With a complete selection of injectable fillers available, we offer plenty of choices at Accent On You. Sculptra is just one option. It’s a popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their face without any downtime. This injectable adds volume where needed and is made up of poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production to give you a younger-looking appearance. The results can last for two years or more!

Dysport

Worried about fine lines and wrinkles? Dysport is an injectable neuromodulator that utilizes botulinum toxin type A to temporarily stop the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles from contracting. We’ll inject multiple points throughout the face to address any and all areas you’re struggling with.  You’ll notice your lines and wrinkles starting to fade away only a few days after treatment.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are widely used to treat sun damage, brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and so much more. If you’re dealing with skin concerns on your face, this is the perfect quick and simple treatment for you. A chemical peel can improve collagen production, assist in hydrating the skin, and reduce the appearance of blemishes or scars. In the winter, Accent On You offers several types of chemical peels, including:

  • TCA Peels
  • MicroPeel

Salt Facials

The SaltFacial is a 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, increases blood circulation, and stimulates collagen production to give you beautiful, younger-looking, and rejuvenated skin. During the treatment, the esthetician will use the SaltFacial device to gently blast salt across the skin. It’s very similar to microdermabrasion but using all-natural sea salt. Ultrasonic energy will also be used to stimulate blood flow, and  LED Phototherapy is used to stimulate collagen production, target acne, and soothe inflammation and redness.

Microneedling 

Microneedling is a treatment for stimulating collagen production. It involves making micro-wounds in the skin, which kickstart collagen production and the body’s natural healing process. It can treat fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven skin tone and texture. Most patients undergo a series of four to six microneedling treatments spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results.
