Sculptra in Chicago
Cosmetic Sculptra treatment can help to restore the youthful look and feel of your skin by correcting contour deficiencies, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and helping to add volume to nasolabial folds.
Sculptra Aesthetic is a specialist form of non-surgical cosmetic treatment that helps to correct wrinkles and contour deficiencies to enhance the look of facial skin in a natural and highly appealing way. This includes both deep and shallow smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, chin creases, and dimpling.
The professional injectable treatment acts to revitalize skin, removing the signs of wrinkles and sagging skin, whilst bringing volume back to the face. Â
Sculptra is injected directly into the deep dermis, which is where it can stimulate the natural production of collagen. Overtime, Sculptra will encourage your skin to produce more collagen, helping your face to look younger, feel firmer, and regain a healthy glow.
Many people choose Sculptra for its natural approach to ensuring long-term benefits. The treatment is very simple, and often quite painless, making it one of the top and most preferred ways to reduce the signs and symptoms of aging without damaging the body or using harmful toxins.
