What Makes Sculptra So Unique?

Sculptra | Associated Plastic Surgeons Huntington, NYWhen it comes to aging, nothing can be more fulfilling than looking back at all that you’ve accomplished and everything that you’ve learned. On the other hand, nothing can be quite as discouraging as looking in the mirror and seeing loose, sagging skin. Luckily, there are a wide variety of dermal fillers that can help temporarily improve the appearance of volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. Here at Associated Plastic Surgeons, we provide patients with several different dermal fillers including Sculptra. But what is Sculptra and what makes it so unique? Let’s dive a little deeper to see.

It’s Made of Synthetic

MaterialMost dermal fillers are made of a naturally occurring substance in the body called hyaluronic acid. Although hyaluronic acid-based fillers are very popular and effective, they are usually metabolized by the body a lot faster. Sculptra, on the other hand, is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid which takes a lot longer for the body to absorb.

It’s Been Around for a Longtime

Unlike other fillers that are fairly new to the cosmetic market, Sculptra has been around for quite some time. In fact, the earliest forms of Sculptra (which have since been improved upon) started during the AIDS and HIV epidemic of the 80’s.

You Get a Lot More

When you typically purchase other fillers you purchase between .8cc-1.5 cc. However, when you purchase Sculptra you are purchasing a 7 cc vial which means that we can do a whole lot more with it than with other fillers.

It’s More Affordable

After two treatment sessions, your results can last up to two years. Whereas, most fillers only last one year on average. When you calculate how much you are getting with each vial and how long they last, you end up paying 1/7th of the cost of other fillers which saves you a lot of money in the long run.

If you want to learn more about Sculptra or some of our other dermal fillers, contact our Huntington office today and call us at (631) 423-1000.
