How Sculptra Provides Natural-looking Results That Will Keep Everyone Guessing

Maintaining a youthful-looking complexion requires a skin care routine that sometimes dives a little deeper. Here’s how Sculptra® treatments fortify the collagen structures of your skin to keep it smooth, supple, healthy, and resilient.

Whether it’s age-related, driven by sun damage, accelerated by smoking, or all the above, collagen loss sets the stage for every fine line and deep wrinkle that appears on your skin. It also plays a fundamental role in diminishing your skin’s shape, elasticity, and resilience.

Luckily, collagen depletion is not an irreversible problem. Registered nurse Nola Ayoola-Yussuf, DNP, APRN, regularly remedies the problem at Elan Aesthetics in Vienna, Virginia, using the dermal filler Sculptra®.

Sculptra instantly helps rebuild lost collagen, smooth deep wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and restore lost facial volume for up to 24 months.

Read on as Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf breaks down what you need to know about this remarkable treatment.

Collagen: Your skin’s protein scaffold

Collagen is the primary protein in your skin. This supportive protein creates the perfect organic scaffold, giving your skin its shape, strength, and resilience. Along with elastin and keratin, the other main proteins in your skin, collagen helps keep your skin firm, supple, and in a state of ongoing renewal.

Collagen loss: A catalyst for skin aging

Simply growing older can take a toll on your skin’s collagen scaffolding. Starting at about the age of 20, your epidermal collagen levels decline by about 1% each year (that’s a 25% total loss by the time you’re 45 years old).

Reverse collagen loss with Sculptra

While many aspects of aging can’t be halted, offset, or reversed, collagen loss isn’t one of them.

Sculptra is a specially formulated injectable that’s FDA-approved to smooth out shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, enhance your natural facial contours, and reverse some of the most noticeable signs of aging.

At Elan Aesthetics, Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf uses Sculptra to treat:

Smile lines (vertical wrinkles along the sides of the nose and around the mouth)
Nasolabial folds (lines extending from the nose to the outer corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (creases extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin)

She also uses Sculptra for non-surgical butt lifts. Strategically injected into the buttocks, Sculptra triggers the formation of a blend of scar tissue and new collagen, resulting in a plumper derriere.

Quick, long-lasting benefits

Sculptra starts working immediately. Your results continue to noticeably improve for several weeks as your skin’s collagen remodeling process kicks into high gear.

This deep collagen response leaves you with firmer, younger-looking skin for up to 2 years.
