Sculptra® is a unique injectable treatment that stimulates collagen
production for long-lasting and stunningly natural results. Baldone Reina
Dermatology offers this treatment to residents of Mandeville,
the Northshore, Covington, and New Orleans, LA.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an injectable treatment that is designed to stimulate collagen
production to encourage natural improvements in skin volume and elasticity
over time. The Sculptra® formula is composed of poly-L-lactic acid which is a
collagen stimulator. After the Sculptra® formula is injected, the body will
gradually break it down, replacing it with natural collagen. As a result,
patients can enjoy a natural reduction in facial wrinkles and folds as well as
an increase in facial volume. Sculptra® can help address the following
cosmetic concerns:
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Chin wrinkles
Sagging jowls
Loose skin around the eyes
Lines and wrinkles on the forehead
How Much Does Sculptra® Cost?
If you elect to receive Sculptra® at Baldone Reina Dermatology, you will first
have a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists. During
this consultation, we will assess your current condition and your treatment
goals in order to determine the best approach for your Sculptra® treatment.
Once these variables are evaluated, we will be able to provide you with the
cost of treatment and any associated fees.
What is the Sculptra® Treatment Like?
Before your Sculptra® treatment, apply a topical anesthetic 30-45 minutes
prior to minimize any discomfort that may occur during the injection process.
A topical anesthetic is available for purchase at our
office. Injections are then made in and around the desired
treatment area. The number of injections required will depend on the area
being treated as well as your desired results. A Sculptra® treatment takes
less than 30 minutes, making it a great option for patients with a busy
schedule.
What is the Recovery Period Like Following Sculptra®?
After your Sculptra® treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising or
sensitivity in the treatment area. These are common effects from treatment,
and typically fade within a day or two. Despite these minor side effects, you
will be able to return to work and all other normal activities immediately
following your appointment. There is no downtime or recovery period involved
after Sculptra®.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Sculptra®?
The results from Sculptra® will become visible as the formula stimulates
natural collagen production in the body. Patients typically begin to notice
results within a month, and will enjoy continued improvement in these results
for up to six months after treatment. We typically recommend a series of three
treatments for optimal results. The results from Sculptra® often last up to
two years due to an increase in collagen.

Dermatology welcomes patients from Covington, Slidell, New Orleans and the
