It’s getting simpler to age with elegance and diminish wrinkles, skin laxity, and fine lines.
For years, people have relied on neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport to reduce muscle activity and smooth wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming.
For more volume, patients turned to dermal fillers to replenish the fullness of their face and lips, giving them a more youthful appearance.
Now, we offer a more comprehensive approach to aging gracefully with collagen injections in Fort Lauderdale.
Similar to traditional dermal fillers and neuromodulators, Sculptra improves your skin quality and reduces wrinkles. The difference lies in how it works.
Sculptra vs. Dermal Fillers
Traditional fillers use hyaluronic acid to immediately replenish lost volume in your skin. Within 9 to 12 months, those results fade as your body metabolizes the ingredients.
Sculptra uses an ingredient called poly-L-lactic acid to promote your body’s natural production of collagen, which acts as your skin’s internal framework and provides it with strength and support. As you age, collagen production declines, leaving you susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
While the results aren’t immediate, they are elegant. Gradually, your body restores lost volume, and you see natural, youthful improvements in your skin that last for up to 2 years after your Sculptra treatment.
Both treatments can be used for facial balancing, and to add volume to areas of the face and body. For areas like your jowls and cheeks, we may recommend both treatments. However, Sculptra should not be used for the under-eyes because that area is extremely thin and delicate.
Sculptra vs. Wrinkle Relaxers: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to softening wrinkles and restoring a youthful appearance, both wrinkle relaxers (like Botox and Dysport) and biostimulators like Sculptra have a place—but they work in very different ways.
Wrinkle Relaxers
Botox and Dysport temporarily relax specific facial muscles that cause dynamic lines—think forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. This smooths the skin and prevents deeper creases from forming over time. These treatments offer fast, visible results that typically last 3 to 4 months and are ideal for areas of movement.
Sculptra
Unlike wrinkle relaxers, Sculptra doesn’t target muscles—it works deep within the skin to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. As collagen rebuilds over time, your skin becomes firmer, fuller, and more youthful, with fine lines and wrinkles gradually fading. Results appear more subtly over weeks to months but can last up to two years.
Why Choose One — or Both?
You don’t have to choose between the two. In fact, some of our most natural, balanced results come from a personalized plan that combines both wrinkle relaxers and Sculptra. Together, they address the full spectrum of aging: relaxing muscles that cause expression lines while rebuilding structure and volume for long-term improvement.
At our practice, we take a tailored, full-face approach, considering your facial anatomy, movement patterns, and long-term goals. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or comprehensive rejuvenation, we’ll create a plan that helps you age gracefully — on your terms.
