Sculptra® - Collagen stimulation
Naturally rejuvenated skin

Restore your skin’s vitality

Over time, your skin loses its elasticity and radiance due to the natural decline in collagen. This process leads to the appearance of wrinkles and creases, and a loss of volume. With Sculptra®, our advanced collagen-stimulating treatment, we offer a natural and effective solution to restore firmness and revive your skin’s youthful glow.

What is collagen stimulation?

Collagen stimulation is a non-invasive treatment designed to reactivate your skin’s natural mechanisms. By boosting collagen production, this approach helps to:

  • Firm the skin and restore its elasticity.
  • Lessen wrinkles and creases for a smoother appearance..
  • Restore volume in areas affected by aging.

Results develop gradually, ensuring a natural, lasting effect.

Areas treated by Sculptra®

Sculptra® effectively targets multiple areas of the face and body, restoring volume and enhancing skin’s firmness.

Facial areas:

  • Temples: Restores lost volume for more balanced facial contours.
  • Cheeks: Plumps sunken cheeks and enhances facial definition.
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines): Smoothes the creases between the nose and the mouth.
  • Marionette lines: Lessens the wrinkles between the corners of the mouth and the chin.

ULTRASOUND-GUIDED INJECTIONS

All injections administered by Dr. Mujica are done using ultrasound vein mapping. Ultrasound imaging lets the doctor visualize the facial and superficial anatomy in real time, ensuring the safe placement of dermal fillers and the swift management of potential complications.

Facial vein mapping allows for safer treatments.

The procedure involves applying a small amount of gel to the treatment areas, then using an ultrasound probe to map the underlying blood vessels. This lets the doctor visualize the muscles, blood vessels, and soft tissues in real time, allowing for precise placement of the dermal fillers. Once the doctor has mapped the areas, he will thoroughly disinfect the skin and adjust his approach to avoid any high-risk areas.

In the event of complications, ultrasound imaging can help identify blood vessels that may be affected by hyaluronic acid-based fillers or pinpoint areas such as filler nodules, allowing for more precise treatment.

  • Mapping facial anatomy to reduce the risk of vascular occlusion
  • Ensuring safe placement of the cannula prior to injection
  • Confirming filler placement and monitoring blood flow after injection
  • Visualizing the needle and any nodules to ensure the filler dissolves fully
