FAQ
Q: What is Sculptra?
A: Sculptra is a PLLA (like a dissolvable suture) form of injectable that is injected into the dermis to help stimulate your body’s own collagen production in order to diminish lines/wrinkles and restore volume. Over a few weeks you will notice a softer, more youthful appearance that can last up to 2 years.
Q: How long will sculptra last?
A: The Sculptra particles will very gradually disappear, but the collagen produced could last for five or more years. Once desired correction is achieved, we recommend a maintenance session (one to two vials) about every two years to replace the collagen that may have been lost due to aging in that period.
Q: Where can sculptra be used?
A: Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable for many facial areas such as jawline, mid-lower face, neck region, and even body parts such as the buttocks, cellulite correction, and crepey skin that can be found above knee caps.

FAQ
Q: What is Radiesse?
A: Radiesse is an injectable filler used to plump wrinkled or folded areas of the skin, most often on the face, neck and chest. As it works, Radiesse stimulates the naturally-occurring collagen beneath your skin. It works immediately, and can last for up to two years.
Q: Is Radiesse permanent?
A: No, although treatment results are relatively long-lasting. Over time, the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down, which are safely and naturally absorbed into the body, leaving your own collagen in their place.
Q: How much downtime is needed?
A: You may experience bruising and swelling for about a week after.
