Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid that may help to stimulate the development of collagen in the skin.

What Should I Expect from a Sculptra® Treatment?

Sculptra® is a gel formulation injected into the layers of skin using a fine needle. Multiple injections are made within the wrinkle to produce an even, consistent and natural result. You may notice some improvement in the wrinkle due to the thickness of the gel. Full results happen gradually.

The process of injecting the gel into the skin may cause some localized symptoms, such as bleeding, swelling, tenderness and bruising, for the first few days.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Dr. Barbour may recommend a series of Sculptra® treatments, such as three sessions over a three to four-month period. After the series of treatment, the results may last for up to two years, although this does vary by patient.

How Much Do Sculptra® Treatments Cost?

The cost of treatment with Sculptra® is based upon an individual treatment plan you develop with Dr. Barbour during the consultation. After the appointment, we provide pricing and explain our financing options.

Reviews

“Very calm and knowledgeable and made me at ease. Also very humble. I would definitely getting his opinion if you have a nerve injury. His bedside manner gave me reason for hope."
"I came to see Dr. Barbour on recommendation from a friend, I am so glad did! I had started to notice fine lines on my forehead but was nervous about getting Botox for the first time. Dr. Barbour talked me through the whole process, took his time and answered all my questions..."
"When I met with Dr. Barbour he diagnosed, thanks to the X-Ray, that I did not have a broken finger, and that we could treat my finger that had a torn tendon, with a splint, in lieu of surgery. This was a great relief to me, as I am a very active senior."
