Dermal fillers such as Sculptra can effectively target the underlying causes of the early signs of aging by restoring volume and rejuvenating the skin. Containing a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid that is both biocompatible and biodegradable, Sculptra acts as a bio-activator and a powerful collagen stimulator that will give skin a soft, natural, and youthful appearance. Collagen and elastin are two major structural proteins that give skin its firmness and smoothness. While the skin has the ability to produce these natural building blocks, the amount of collagen that it can produce declines quite rapidly with age. In addition, the fat that makes cheeks look plump and youthful will also dissipate as we age. 

 

Offered in the Gresham and Salem locations, this collagen stimulator is injected deep into the dermal tissue to boost collagen production. As collagen levels increase, the framework that supports the dermal cells and tissue is restored. This non-surgical procedure is an excellent choice for long-term improvement due to volume loss that leads to deep and fine line in the face including smile lines, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Sculptra is also amazing at tightening the skin as collagen and elastin improve. Areas of treatment are the chest, back of arms, tummy, thighs, and to add volume to the bum or hip dips
