If you have trouble recognizing the person you see in the mirror, it could be that your skin has lost too much collagen. Once you reach age 18, your body produces less and less collagen with each year. This vital protein is important for your joints, your bones, and your skin. When you lose collagen in your face, you’ll start to notice more wrinkles and sagging. If you want to bring back your skin’s volume and structure and are thinking about getting a facelift, try Sculptra® Aesthetic first.

Thinking about trying Colorado Springs Sculptra® Aesthetic? Here’s what you need to know:
- What it is: Sculptra® Aesthetic is a product that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. It is injected directly into the facial areas in need of treatment.
- How it works: Instead of immobilizing muscles that cause wrinkles, Sculptra® Aesthetic helps re-sculpt your face. As your body begins producing more collagen, particularly in your face, you’ll notice that areas of sagging skin or lost volume become less and less noticeable.
- How long results last: Because Sculptra® Aesthetic stimulates the production of collagen, it works gradually over time. After 4 treatment Colorado Springs Sculptra® Aesthetic sessions, you can expect results to last as long as 2-3 years.
My approach with Sculptra® Aesthetic is to revolumize and give Lift to the face. If you are considering a face lift and do to want to go under the knife, consider a complimentary consultation with me. If I see there is more laxity than I think Sculptra can help with then I will refer you to a plastic surgeon. During your search for a Colorado Springs Sculptra® Aesthetic expert, be sure you ask how they mix it and where they would place it. Putting it just in the nasolabial folds or marionette lines is “old school” and doesn’t treat the problem. The injector must look at the overall structure of the face and correct the issues rather than using a “bandaid” effect. Book a consultation with me.
Sculptra® Aesthetic vs. BOTOX® Cosmetic
When most people want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, they think of BOTOX®. However, BOTOX® Cosmetic is not your only option for restoring youth to your face. In Colorado Springs, Sculptra® Aesthetic is another treatment option for wrinkles and fine lines.
Both BOTOX® Cosmetic and Sculptra® Aesthetic are injectable treatments for facial signs of aging. They both require multiple treatments for the best results, but the timelines for each are different. Because BOTOX® prevents the contraction of muscles that cause wrinkles, it only requires one treatment to see results. These results, however, only last up to four months, so you’ll need to receive regular injections every four months or so to maintain results. Sculptra® Aesthetic, on the other hand, increases the body’s natural production of collagen. In order to effectively stimulate collagen production, you’ll need up to four injection sessions, each three weeks apart. Unlike BOTOX®, Sculptra® Aesthetic’s results are longer-lasting – up to 2-3 years. I use it for people that require more than 2 syringes of filler due to cost and longevity. It’s a great OPTION for clients to invest in their youth!
Before getting a facelift, try Colorado Springs Sculptra® Aesthetic – a less-expensive treatment with virtually no recovery time. With Sculptra® Aesthetic, you’ll reverse the effects of aging on your face by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
