The Good News on Sculptra

Since it was approved by the FDA last July, Sculptra has been gaining popularity to become one of my most frequent treatments. In the right hands, Sculptra® Aesthetic is a truly breakthrough product. It allows me to truly "sculpt" the face and add volume to the chin, cheeks and temples — achieving facial balance and restoring a youthful look in a way that is much more subtle and longer lasting

More Sculptra-in-the-News — Today Show Looks at Pros and Cons of Sculptra Aesthetic

FDA approved for cosmetic facial use, Sculptra Aesthetic was profiled on the Today Show. It's an interesting piece for anyone considering using Sculptra injections as they present both the pros and cons, which only emphasizes how important it is to visit a specifically trained plastic surgeon or dermatologist for these injections.As with all injectibles, I will provide patients with a thorough

The Liquid Facelift — Sculptra Featured on CBS The Early Show

The newly FDA-approved Sculptra®Aesthetic was featured yesterday on CBS The Early Show. It's being called the "liquid facelift" because the facial volumizing injectible increases collagen and its benefits can last for up to 2 years. The treatment has been available overseas for years, and just recently received approval in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration.

Sculptra is FDA-approved for cosmetic use

I've been waiting for this for a couple years. The FDA has finally approved Sculptra for the correction of facial wrinkles. It will now go by the name Sculptra Aesthetic. Sculptra is the best injectable filler (poly-L-lactic acid) to return volume to the face. It has been approved for treatment of HIV-related facial wasting since 2004, but many plastic surgeons have used it off-label for general cosmetic use.

I have been using Sculptra for a couple years now, and have been very happy with the results. Second to fat grafting, I think it is the best way to add 3-dimensional volume to the face. Usually a minimum of three treatments is necessary, each approximately 6-8 weeks apart. The only drawback is the rate of granuloma (small inflammatory nodule) formation, which is definitely higher than other traditional fillers like Restylane and Juvederm, but still remains acceptably low if properly performed. I've been using it more and more, especially in the past several months. I think this product will be a hit.

Sculptra Is Approved for Facial Rejuvenation

I am very excited that the FDA has finally approved Sculptra®Aesthetic for cosmetic use. The product is ideal for women in their 40's who have noticed facial skin thinning and sagginess. I had Sculptra injections 2 years ago and love the results. Injections take about 20 minutes in the office and hurt much less then hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm. Results start to
