Collagen gradually disappears with age and can leave you with hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, bony temples, an undefined jawline, and a hollow chin. As your skin droops and loses elasticity and structure, your face may become unrecognizable to you. Sculptra liquid facelift treatment offers an alternative to a conventional facelift. Also called a liquid facelift, this option can gently restore lost volume with no human DNA or animal products. Dr. Ghasri in Tarzana can help you decide if this revolutionary new treatment is right for you.

Sculptra is a synthetic form of lactic acid, poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA, which has been used in Europe and Canada for years and is approved for cosmetic use throughout the US, including Tarzana. Your body makes lactic acid when you exercise and it is gradually eliminated by the body over time. Dr. Ghasri may perform up to four injection sessions over the course of several months as part of a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment plan.

As the PLLA becomes incorporated within the deep dermis, it stimulates and revitalizes your body’s own production of collagen. This restores your natural volume and the structure of your skin. Unlike a conventional facelift, a liquid facelift offers subtle, gradual results that can last two years or longer. You can enjoy renewed fullness and volume, as well as fewer folds and wrinkles. Patients researching dermal filler treatments may find this option especially beneficial for widespread volume loss.

A liquid facelift can be an excellent alternative to invasive surgical treatments and can restore a plump, youthful look to your skin. Unlike other fillers, it can be used in larger areas of the face, and the results are incredibly long-lasting. It can be used in patients of all ethnicities and skin types and address a wide range of concerns with a low risk of side effects. Sculptra is part of a comprehensive selection of cosmetic dermatology procedures offered to address facial aging. Patients interested in Sculptra treatment in Tarzana can schedule a consultation with Castle Dermatology Institute. Learn more about the science behind this treatment from Sculptra®.
