Sculpt, Smooth, and Enhance

Enhance your skin and unlock its regenerative powers with Sculptra. This safe and effective injectable helps replenish your face’s collagen production and restore the structure of your skin from the inside out. When administered by an experienced and double-board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Julia Kerolus, Sculptra will help to increase your facial volume and confidence!

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that works with your skin to stimulate new collagen production.

When the PLLA microparticles are absorbed, your skin starts producing more collagen, which helps restore the skin’s volume and reduce the signs of aging. When used over time, you will see filled wrinkles and a fresh, more youthful appearance. Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra’s effects will be gradual, with full results after a few weeks. Areas typically treated with Sculptra include frown lines, marionette lines, softening the cheekbones, temples, and nasolabial folds.

Rediscover a whole new you with Sculptra in Atlanta at Kerolus Plastic Surgery. Dr. Kerolus is committed to helping her patients raise their quality of life. The first step is you feeling confident in your skin. With Sculptra, you can regain the radiant, healthy skin you had when you were younger.

What
can Sculptra do?

Sculptra can help you to achieve a more youthful appearance in as little as three treatments.

It works over time and builds upon itself to enhance your look. An average of three Sculptra treatments are typically needed for the best results. While results are not immediate, the gradual nature of the effects will help you to achieve a fresh and natural final product. Noticeable effects can be seen within weeks and last up to two years. Sculptra can work to address many signs of aging in the face and neck, including:

Marionette Lines
Laugh Lines
Nasolabial folds (Smile Lines)
Chin Wrinkles

Since Sculptra is a nonsurgical procedure, there is very minimal downtime compared to more invasive surgical options. This makes Sculptra a great option if you have a busy lifestyle.

Am I a candidate for Sculptra?

Many of us struggle when we start to see the signs of our skin aging.

We want to look as good as we can, but we don’t like the idea of looking like we’ve “had work done.” If this sounds like you, you may be a good candidate for Sculptra. Ideal patients are over 18 years old with healthy immune systems, and who are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or lactating. There is also a risk for those who have an allergy to any of the ingredients in Sculptra or have a history of Keloid formation or Hypertrophic scarring.

Consultation and Preparation

When you choose to have any procedure, it’s crucial that you work with a provider who is experienced and knowledgeable about the treatment.

This is the best way to avoid side effects or safety risks. Dr. Julia Kerolus in Atlanta, GA, is a plastic surgeon trained to inject Sculptra, so you know you’ll be in great hands. At your appointment, you will talk with Dr. Kerolus about your aesthetic goals. It’s important to be open and honest about your expectations and what results you’d like to see from your treatment. Also, be sure to disclose any current medications or health care considerations.

Sculptra Procedure

To ensure the best outcome possible, you will be instructed to arrive at your appointment without makeup.

We will complete an examination of the areas you indicate and discuss which areas would benefit from Sculptra. Those areas will then be thoroughly cleaned with antiseptic, and an injection grid will be decided. Sculptra is then injected in small amounts into the skin. Afterward, to ensure that all of the product is absorbed into the skin, the area will be gently massaged. Following treatment with Sculptra Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Kerolus, will provide you with aftercare instructions which will include using an ice pack for any post-procedure swelling.

Sculptra Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Your results will become noticeable over the course of your treatment.

It is important to be patient and watch as the new you develops gradually over time. If you don’t see results right away, that is totally normal. Typically results are visible within 3-4 treatments but last up to two years. Because the results are visible more gradually, your final look will be more natural, fresh, and subtle. After your treatment, Dr. Kerolus will provide you with instructions on how to best take care of yourself. This will likely include using ice packs to combat any inflammation that you may experience and gentle massage of the areas. Most Atlanta Sculptra patients are able to quickly resume normal day-to-day activities immediately following their procedure, and in many cases, makeup can even be applied within a few hours of treatment.
