Sculptra Philadelphia

Sculptra™

Philadelphia Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bucky and his expert nurse injectors use Sculptra^TM to correct areas of fat and volume loss. Sculptra^TM provides a gradual increase in skin thickness.

Sculptra® is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. The filler provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions. It will improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area.

At your first treatment visit, it may appear that Sculptra® worked immediately because of swelling from the injections and the water used to dilute the product. In a few days, when the swelling goes down and the water is absorbed by your body, you may look as you did before your treatment. Sculptra® takes time to gradually correct the depression in your skin. Dr. Bucky or one of his nurse injectors will see you again in a few weeks to decide if you need more injections. They will also decide the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra® you will need at each session. Patients with severe facial fat loss may require 3 to 6 treatment sessions.

Treatment results will differ for each person. In a clinical study, the treatment results lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session, in most patients. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effect.
