What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler used to restore fullness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines in the face. Unlike some other fillers that are made with hyaluronic acid, Sculptra is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and formulated with poly-L-lactic acid that allows for the production of collagen and a tighter and toner mid-facial region. Plastic surgeon Dr. Manish Shah and the staff at Shah Aesthetic Surgery now offer Sculptra to the men and women of the South Denver area.

What Are the Benefits of Sculptra?

Sculptra is a well-known filler that is able to give Shah Aesthetic Surgery patients a refreshed aesthetic. The upsides of this procedure carried out at our office in Englewood, CO involve:

  • Smoothing lines, creases, and wrinkles
  • Restoring lost volume
  • Attaining a more awake appearance
  • Boosting new collagen creation and supplementing skin health
  • No surgical procedures, no scarring, and no downtime
  • Treatments are fast
  • Outcomes appear natural and are long-lasting
  • FDA-approved and effective

Ideal Candidates

Sculptra injections are for candidates with healthy immune systems that want to restore facial volume without having surgical implants. Sculptra may be a good option for those who want to correct shallow to deep nasolabial fold (sometimes called laugh or smile lines) deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. It’s best to consult with Dr. Shah to assess your skin condition and go over treatment options.

I have had an incredible experience with Sarah at Dr. Shah’s practice. My face was starting to show some aging and I needed some fullness to fill in some sunken in areas. I thought fillers would be the fix but I didn’t want my face to dramatically change or look like I’ve had obvious work done. Sarah explained how Sculptra could give me the natural results I was hoping for. I couldn’t be happier with how things have improved. Seeing my before and afters is amazing. Thank you Sarah and Dr. Shah!

I started going to Shah Aesthetic Surgery for a rhinoplasty by Dr. Shah which I am absolutely thrilled with. I am staying on as a patient not only because of how wonderful Dr Shah was but the whole office staff! I have been getting Sculptra, Dysport and threads from Sarah who is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and takes the time to explain everything and go over different options. The results are natural but beautiful!

Our Injection Technique

Sculptra injections are administered in one of our comfortable procedure rooms. One of our trained physicians will sterilize, numb the skin with a local anesthetic or numbing gel, and mark the injection sites. The specially formulated filler is then injected into deep skin tissue at the marked sites. Typically, a patient requires a series of 3 – 4 Sculptra treatments at the South Denver office of Shah Aesthetic Surgery over the period of a few months, but Dr. Shah will tailor the sessions for you.

What to Expect

After your Sculptra treatment, you may experience injection site swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, bleeding, itching, and sometimes lumps. These symptoms should resolve themselves naturally in about 3 – 5 days. You may be asked to apply cold packs to the swelling, apply a facial massage a few times a day to the treated area, and avoid sunlight and UV lamp exposure. Once the swelling disappears, the collagen stimulation process begins and facial change is noticeable. Results can be visible for up to two years.

About Us

Sculpt A Youthful Face

Sculptra aesthetic injections at Shah Aesthetic Surgery in South Denver are minimally invasive and works over time, gradually improving areas in your face without making it look like you had surgery.

How much does Sculptra cost?
The cost of Sculptra injections can vary due to the amount that is needed for your specific treatment. Also, other treatments may be performed in conjunction with Sculptra, affecting the cost. All costs and procedures will be detailed in your consultation with Dr. Shah to go along with a carefully laid treatment plan that fits your budget.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen, an important protein produced by the body. PLLA is the same substance used in dissolvable sutures, which stimulates collagen to heal cuts. As more collagen is produced, the skin becomes rejuvenated and fills out folds and wrinkles in the face.
Are Sculptra injections safe?
Most aesthetic injections are safe and Sculptra is no exception. Sculptra has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been deemed safe for over 20 years. There are common side effects, like slight pain, bruising, inflammation, and redness, but these go away in just a few days. If you ever experience any side effect from any of our treatments that lasts longer than usual or is abnormal, contact us immediately.
What is the best age to receive Sculptra?
Sculptra is beneficial for a number of different individuals who desire a healthy appearance to their face without the wrinkles. At Shah Aesthetic Surgery, we have patients ranging from their mid 20s to those in their late 50s. The important thing is that patients have a healthy immune system before undergoing this type of treatment.
How long do results last?
Results are noticeable after the swelling goes down, and due to the continued collagen production, results continue to appear over time. Most of Dr. Shah’s patients receive multiple Sculptra treatments and usually continue to see results that can last up to two years.
