Sculptra

Sculptra is able to replace collagen and because of this it is able to offer subtle results over time, giving you a more natural looking appearance. Many prefer this natural look and if interested you should schedule a cosmetic consultation in order to determine how many treatments you will need.

• How does it work:

  First the are to be treated is cleaned thoroughly with an antiseptic. Then Sculptra is injected in small amounts, with a fine needle, and the results can be achieved almost immediately. If patients have a fine threshold of pain a topical anesthetic as well as lidocaine can be used to offer a less painful experience.

• Side effects:

  Patients may experience pain, swelling, redness, and even bruising after the injections. This is normal and over time any discomfort will subside. It is important to let your doctor know of any allergies you may have, or if you have history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.

• How much does Sculptra Aesthetic cost?

  There are a few factors that figure into how much treatment with Sculptra Aesthetic will cost. Some of these include:

  • How many treatment sessions are needed
  • How much Sculptra Aesthetic (number of vials) your physician uses per treatment
  • The degree of correction you and your physician decide upon
  • Your physician’s fees
  • Discounts and special offers
  • Where you live

  Due to these factors and especially because Scultpra Aesthetic treatments are tailored to individual patients, cost will vary from person to person. The best way to determine your individual cost is by talking to your doctor.
  

• How does the price of Sculptra Aesthetic compare with other anti-aging treatments?

  Comparing the cost of facial rejuvenation options to each other can be challenging because so much depends on desired results, the amount of product your doctor recommends, your response to the treatment, the amount of time results last, and your specific physician’s fees.

  A treatment that lasts up to 3 to 6 months may cost less up front than one that lasts much longer, yet generally require additional treatment sessions to maintain the effect for the same duration. You may want to consider the total cost over time.

  When comparing the price of Sculptra Aesthetic to other injectables, it can be helpful to weigh cost against treatment duration. Of course, the best way to determine how much a treatment option will cost is to talk to your physician and discuss your needs.
  

• Are there patient discounts, rebates, or special offers available?

  Coupon or rebate programs through the manufacturer and/or the physician may be available from time to time. It’s a good idea to ask your physician if there’s a current discount program available at the time of your consultation.
