If you’re in your late thirties or early forties and starting to notice that your cheeks aren’t as plumped up as they once were, you aren’t alone. Though facial fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane are excellent for replacing lost volume to this area, the necessity of undergoing maintenance injections every 5-6 months is always something to consider. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, our team of world-renowned dermatologists want our patients to know about one of the best non-invasive treatments for sunken cheeks—Sculptra!
What Is Sculptra?
The aging process brings volume loss and decreased collagen, which is why your face begins to show deeper hollows and wrinkles along the cheeks as well as other areas including the jowls, temples, and under eyes. To overcome this naturally and gradually, Sculptra Aesthetic, which is made of poly-L-lactic acid, works to restore and smooth your face by continuing to stimulate and regenerate collagen growth to the area treated. This means that the results from the filler treatment are extremely natural and subtle, continuing to show even several months after you’ve undergone treatment. Depending on the individual, multiple injections may be necessary over the course of the next few months for the most optimal outcomes.
Undergoing Sculptra injections to the cheek area is a great way to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss, and can also be used to combat deep smile lines. After receiving your injection, it’s normal to experience slight swelling, though this will gradually diminish over the course of the following several days.
One of the best reasons to consider Sculptra for replacing lost volume and stimulating collagen growth in your cheeks is because the filler can last for years to come. In fact, some patients have reported continued results for as many as two years, making this treatment extremely cost-effective in comparison to other facial filler injections that require increased maintenance and injections several times each year.
