Sculptra in Chandler, AZ

VIA Health & Medspa in Chandler offers Sculptra injections that restore facial volume and provide natural results. This FDA-approved treatment fills hollowed areas and stimulates collagen production to regenerate cells and tissues. Our board-certified specialist, Dr. Wissam Fayad, uses the best practices to provide high-quality Sculptra injections. The results can last up to two years, keeping patients satisfied with their youthful appearance.

What Are Sculptra Injections?

Sculptra is an FDA-approved cosmetic filler that restores facial volume. It addresses the underlying cause of aging, not just the symptoms. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a collagen stimulator. This filler helps restore the deep, underlying structures of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.

Sculptra is injected in a series of treatments over several months. Its effects are gradual and subtle, typically becoming noticeable after a few weeks as the collagen regenerates. On average, Sculptra procedures take about 30 minutes per treatment session.

Areas Treated With Sculptra

Sculptra Injection Procedure

We recognize that each person has a different pain tolerance level. Therefore, we work hard to make your visit enjoyable and comfortable. Dr. Fayad offers various options to numb the target areas before injections:

Topical anesthesia: Applying an ointment or gel to the skin’s surface causes temporary numbness by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain.
Local anesthesia: The injection of medication near a cluster of nerves that numbs only that specific area.
Pro-Nox: “Laughing gas,” as it’s better known, is a fast-acting pain relief that increases comfort and aids in calming anxiety.

Sculptra is a powder that is transformed into a gel by applying sterile water. Dr. Fayad uses a thin needle to inject this filer in small amounts into different areas of the face. Common sites include the temples, cheeks, jawline, chin, and around the mouth.

Dr. Fayad uses multiple layers of injections in each area to gradually build up the volume. Usually, 3 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart are needed to achieve the desired result with Sculptra. If needed, more procedures can be done to increase the volume. Dr. Fayad determines how many Sculptra treatments will bring the best results.

After injecting each area, the doctor uses massage techniques to mold and shape the face. This helps evenly distribute Sculptra and create a smooth, natural look.

At the end of the session, Dr. Fayad may do a final massage to smooth any bumps. Ice packs are also applied to help reduce swelling and tenderness.

Aftercare and Recovery

Patients can resume normal activities immediately after Sculptra treatment. Some common side effects, like redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection sites, should be expected. Patients are advised to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas. A cold compress can be applied if needed to reduce swelling.

The symptoms decrease substantially during the first week. Patients may notice visible bumps under the skin where the Sculptra was injected. This is normal, as the dermal filler continues stimulating collagen production. Patients should not touch or massage the treated areas to avoid disrupting the form.

The desired results appear over the next few weeks as the Sculptra plumps the face. Some swelling may still be present but continues to subside. Patients can repeat the injections after one month mark for better results.

The full effects of Sculptra may take several months to develop. Results are gradual but can last up to 2 years. Repeat treatments may be needed to maintain the effects. Patients should schedule follow-up appointments to receive touch-up injections.

Alternative Treatments

Radiesse is another popular dermal filler that adds the desired fullness to the face. This product can stimulate collagen production and other skin-firming proteins long after injection. It is FDA-approved, non-surgical, and requires no downtime. Radiesse can also improve the appearance of hands.

Via Health & Medspa offers a variety of dermal fillers at our Chandler office. Dr. Fayad reviews all options during the initial consultation to determine whether Sculptra is the right treatment for each patient.

We can also consider:

All treatments usually take 30-45 minutes to complete and can be done with other medspa services.
