Achieve Long-Lasting Rejuvenation with Dr. Panossian in Pasadena

Are you longing for a renewed sense of confidence? While aging is a privilege, volume loss and skin sagging feel more like a burden than a blessing. At Andre Panossian MD, we understand the insecurities changes in our appearance can cause. With Sculptra, a trusted biostimulator, Dr. Panossian offers a solution beyond mere aesthetics, addressing the deeper layers of facial aging by stimulating your skin's natural collagen production. Dr. Panossian's expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures ensures that a true expert in the field guides your journey to revitalized beauty and confidence.

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a cutting-edge biostimulator uniquely designed to combat the signs of aging by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. Sculptra gradually restores lost facial volume and improves skin texture, delivering subtle yet remarkable results. Composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance, Sculptra works beneath the skin's surface to replenish lost collagen, effectively addressing deep facial wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas. This innovative treatment offers a long-lasting solution for individuals seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without invasive surgery.

Sculptra Benefits

Sculptra stands apart from traditional dermal fillers due to its unique mechanism of action and long-lasting results. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate volume by attracting and binding water molecules, Sculptra stimulates the body's natural collagen production over time. While hyaluronic acid fillers offer immediate but temporary results, Sculptra offers gradual improvement lasting up to two years or more. This characteristic makes Sculptra an ideal choice when seeking natural-looking rejuvenation with evolving results, providing a more subtle and enduring enhancement. Additionally, Sculptra's ability to address deeper facial wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas sets it apart as a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.

Additionally, if you desire subtle yet significant rejuvenation without surgery, Sculptra injections might fit your needs. If you are considering Sculptra, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Panossian. During a consultation, he will assess your anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. You can expect a thorough evaluation of your medical history, a discussion of potential treatment options, and the opportunity to ask any questions. Dr. Panossian will provide expert guidance and recommendations to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

What to Expect: The Sculptra Procedure

Dr. Panossian will begin the Sculptra procedure by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area. Through a fine needle, the Sculptra biostimulator is injected into the face's targeted area(s), typically the cheeks, temples, chin, or jawline. The injections are strategically placed to stimulate collagen production gradually, promoting natural-looking volume restoration and skin rejuvenation. The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of treated areas. Sculptra stimulates the body's natural collagen production process, which helps replenish lost volume and improve skin texture over time. This innovative approach offers a subtle yet significant enhancement, with gradually developing results for a more natural, lasting appearance.

Sculptra Recovery

Following the Sculptra procedure, you should be able to resume normal activities immediately. Some patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of side effects. Results from Sculptra injections develop gradually as the biostimulator stimulates collagen production in the skin, with optimal improvement visible over several weeks to months. Dr. Panossian may recommend multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve your desired outcome. Regular follow-up appointments allow him to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan, ensuring optimal results.
