Sculptra in Raleigh, NC | Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center

Volume loss can occur naturally during the aging process, especially in the face, as the cheeks become flat and hollow. Dr. Glenn Lyle and his team use Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid dermal filler that allows for fuller and longer-lasting volume in the mid-face. In addition to increasing the fullness of the cheeks, Sculptra can decrease the appearance of fine to deep wrinkles and lines, like the nasolabial folds (sometimes known as smile or laugh lines) that run from the outside of the nose down to the corners of the lips.

With a unique formula approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra promotes the natural collagen production in your body, so even if you stop getting treatments, your skin will be stronger compared to before the treatment. Schedule an appointment at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center in Raleigh, NC to hear about the benefits of this dermal filler.

How does sculptra work?

Following your consultation to determine your unique plan for treatment, you will receive your Sculptra injections in our procedure rooms. The injector may apply a local anesthetic or numbing cream prior to sterilizing and marking the injection sites. Once you are prepared, Sculptra is injected down to the deeper skin layers at the chosen areas. For best results, Dr. Glenn Lyle suggests a series of four injections that are each performed at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center around three weeks apart.

FAQs: Sculptra With Dr. glenn Lyle

How many Sculptra treatments will I need?

A series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal results. Dr. Lyle suggests a series of four injections, each performed approximately three weeks apart. The exact number of treatments may vary based on individual goals, the degree of volume loss, and how your body responds to collagen stimulation.

Most patients experience minimal downtime, with possible mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites that typically resolves within a few days. You can return to most normal activities immediately, but it’s recommended to avoid intense exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours to allow for proper healing

Discomfort is usually minimal, and a local anesthetic or numbing cream can be applied prior to the procedure to enhance comfort during the injections. Some patients may feel mild pressure or a slight stinging sensation during the treatment, but this typically subsides quickly.
