Sculptra - A Popular Dermal Filler

    PHOENIX, AZ, April 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sculptra is a popular dermal filler used in facial rejuvenation procedures. It is very effective in reducing facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds. For maximum effectiveness, you will need to undergo three to six treatments, and your results can last for as long as two years.

Sculptra is composed of a synthetic Poly-L-lactic acid material which is very similar to the lactic acid naturally produced by your body as a by-product of exercise. The synthetic Poly-L-lactic acid works by increasing the thickness of your skin, diminishing the appearance of facial wrinkles. Over time, the Sculptra material will be processed by your body.

The Sculptra Procedure

The Sculptra procedure is minimally invasive and can be completed in a short half hour visit to your plastic surgeon's office. Topical numbing cream or local anesthesia will be used to reduce discomfort caused by the injections.

Your plastic surgeon will inject the Sculptra underneath your skin at several strategically placed injection sites. You may experience some swelling following the injections. This can be reduced with an ice pack. You will also need to massage the injection region in order to ensure that the Sculptra gets evenly dispensed across your face.

You will be able to return to regular activities right after your procedure. However, you will need to stay out of the sun for a few days. When the results of your treatment begin to fade, you can return to your plastic surgeon for additional injections.

Please visit the website of Phoenix, Arizona plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Angelchik today to learn more about the Sculptra procedure at www.doctorangelchik.com.
