SCULPTRA® INJECTIONS IN SAN ANTONIO, TX
Sculptra® is a unique facial filler that increases collagen in the skin to correct lines and wrinkles. Texas Dermatology offers Sculptra® for men and women in San Antonio, Kenedy, New Braunfels, and other areas of Texas.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA®?
Sculptra® is one of the few available FDA-approved dermal fillers that softens wrinkles by increasing collagen in your skin. Collagen is important because it helps to support the skin and prevent wrinkles. As you age, your body loses more collagen than what is produced, and for your skin, this means that it is more vulnerable to developing wrinkles.
HOW MUCH DOES SCULPTRA® COST?
Sculptra® is priced according to how much of the product is needed to remedy your wrinkles, so we can provide this information at the time of your consultation.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR SCULPTRA®?
Sculptra® is effective for treating deep facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. Our dermatologists recognize the indications that make Sculptra® a viable option for men and women, so we encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more.
HOW IS SCULPTRA® PERFORMED?
Sculptra is injected with a thin needle that is used to deposit Sculptra® at a specific depth along your wrinkles. We use multiple injections to produce even and natural-looking results. More than one treatment is typically required for optimum results.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE AFTER SCULPTRA®?
No recovery or downtime is needed after your Sculptra® injections. You may notice a small amount of swelling and redness around each injection point that lasts approximately one to two days. After the injections, you will notice a slight reduction in the wrinkles thanks to the gel formulation. Collagen production can take several weeks, and you will notice a gradual improvement in your wrinkles.
HOW LONG DO SCULPTRA® RESULTS LAST?
In clinical trials, Sculptra® provided anti-aging benefits for up to two years. Factors that will influence the longevity of your results are how quickly your body breaks down the new collagen and if your skin undergoes any additional aging. Sun exposure is known to break down collagen quickly, so you should use a high-quality sunscreen when outdoors.
