Sculptra in Sugar Land, TX
Dr. David Stapenhorst of Signature Plastic Surgery offers Sculptra® treatments to the residents of Sugar Land, Texas, and Houston, Texas. Sculptra® is unique injectable filler that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Collagen plays an important role in keeping the skin looking youthful and full. As people age, the body’s collagen breaks down, and less new collagen is produced. The skin loses elasticity and becomes vulnerable to developing wrinkles. Sculptra® contains a synthetic material, poly-L-lactic acid, which replaces the lost collagen, and fills in areas where the collagen has broken down. Sculptra® treatments typically last for two years.
What happens during the Sculptra® procedure by Dr. David Stapenhorst?
Sculptra® treatments typically require the patient to receive three injections over the course of three months. Dr. David Stapenhorst administers a topical anesthesia to help the patient remain comfortable during the procedure. He injects Sculptra® into the skin, and the number of injections during a session depends largely on the individual treatment plan.
