Knowing what treatments can be combined with Sculptra Aesthetic Poly-L-lactic acid facial filler can help you plan out your total treatment and meet the goals you have for your cosmetic therapy. The following are some common cosmetic procedures that may be combined with this facial filler:
BOTOX?
Although both Sculptra and BOTOX? are facial fillers, they differ in a few key ways. First, BOTOX? is a temporary botulinum toxin facial filler that lasts far less time than the Poly-L-lactic acid filler alternative. BOTOX? also plumps up and evens out skin almost instantaneously, whereas the Poly-L-lactic acid takes more time but can help fill in recesses in the skin, such as sunken eyes, hallowed cheeks and an indented chin. BOTOX? can give you some instantaneous results while you wait for the longer results with the alternative.
Restylane
Like BOTOX?, Restylane can be combined with Sculptra to give a temporary, faster result. Restylane, which is made from hyaluronic acid, can also target areas not typically treated with the Poly-L-lactic acid, such as the lips. Combining Restylane with the Poly-L-lactic acid alternative can help smooth wrinkles quickly, particularly that around the mouth and eyes, but you still may need Poly-L-lactic acid to fill in the recesses in your facial structure.
ReFirme
If combining Sculptra, an injectable facial filler, with yet another injectable facial filler leaves you leery, you can consider ReFirme Skin Tightening treatment instead. ReFirme uses bi-polar radio frequency and light in a completely non-invasive way to stimulate collagen production in your skin over time. The more collagen in your skin, the tauter and and firmer your skin will be. Although ReFirme also takes a while before it produces ideal results, like the Poly-L-lactic acid filler, the results are more natural-looking than some of the more instant alternatives.
It's important to note that ReFirme works on wrinkles, fine lines and loose or sagging skin, but is not ideal for filling in hallowed areas of the skin. (However, it can firm the area under the eyes.) That's where the Poly-L-lactic acid filler can go to work.
FotoFacial Skin Rejuventation
Like ReFirme, the FotoFacial is a non-invasive treatment to improve the skin on your face. Targeting small wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, birthmarks and the appearance of veins, FotoFacial uses intense pulsed light to stimulate collagen in the skin. Like ReFirme, it may take some time before you seek ideal results (the complete process takes an average of takes five to seven treatments spread several weeks apart). However, the fact that the treatment is non-invasive may help you decide to undergo the treatment, since you'll already be having an injectable facial filler.
Sculptra alone may not be enough to help you achieve your cosmetic treatment goals, so planning to combine the treatment with other options can help you plan your complete cosmetic makeover. If you have concerns about combining treatments, discuss all of your options with your cosmetic specialist.
