Address volume loss in the face with Sculptra injections

Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler made of poly-L-lactic acid. It works to address shallow, moderate, and deep facial wrinkles and folds and other signs of aging such as lost volume. Injections of Sculptra can be used on the face, neck, hands, and any other area that has lost collagen due to aging or sun damage.

What can I expect during the injections?

During your Sculptra treatment at Ginsburg Dermatology Center and Medical Spa, our expert aesthetic providers will gently inject the product into the areas of your face that have lost volume.

Absolutely! Dr. Barry Ginsburg may suggest combining cosmetic injectables to achieve the best results. Many issues can be treated with various injections, allowing patients to achieve a “liquid facelift.”
