Sculptra in San Mateo, CA
Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra is a minimally invasive injectable treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Through the introduction of poly-L-lactic acid into the deeper layers of the skin, collagen is gradually rebuilt. The Sculptra procedure can restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline, while also minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike dermal fillers, which provide immediate results, Sculptra gradually enhances the skin’s structure and firmness, delivering a more natural-looking outcome over several months.
Sculptra in San Mateo, CA, is ideal for individuals seeking long-term skin texture and volume improvements. It is best suited for those who want to address signs of aging or volume loss without undergoing surgery. Results from Sculptra typically start becoming visible after a few months as collagen builds, and they can last up to two years or longer with maintenance treatments. To begin your journey toward rejuvenated skin, schedule an appointment at The Space Aesthetics Medical Spa in San Mateo, CA, today.
