Sculptra Injections
Facial fillers made from hyaluronic acid can add volume to the skin to replace lost collagen for a more youthful look, but their results are temporary — usually lasting less than a year before treatment needs to be repeated. Sculptra takes a different approach, actually increasing your skin’s own natural collagen to rejuvenate the face over time. Dr. Erez Dayan offers Sculptra injections as one of the anti-aging med spa treatments at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
A collagen-stimulating treatment like Sculptra rewards a deep understanding of facial structure and how the face ages — placing it to restore volume gradually and evenly is what creates a natural result, and that judgment is where Dr. Erez Dayan excels. A clinical investigator and key opinion leader for the leading injectable and device companies, and co-author of the textbook on facial anatomy and injectable safety, he is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute. He completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program — serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital — before an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. Sculptra is one of the practice’s injectables and fillers.
How Sculptra Works Differently
Sculptra is not a hyaluronic acid filler. Its main ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic substance that stimulates your body’s own collagen production. While hyaluronic acid fillers add immediate volume beneath the skin — with results that can vary and may last only several months — Sculptra builds natural volume through collagen, smoothing lines and wrinkles with a very natural appearance that develops gradually.
“Sculptra is really a collagen treatment more than a traditional filler. Rather than filling a line directly, it rebuilds volume from within over a series of sessions, so the change is subtle and looks like your own skin simply aging in reverse.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
Long-Lasting Collagen Treatment in Reno/Tahoe
Sculptra is FDA-approved for restoring lost facial volume — both for lipoatrophy in HIV patients and for diminishing deep lines and folds in the skin. It’s typically delivered in a series of treatments to rejuvenate the face, and because it works by stimulating your own collagen, results take up to two months to become noticeable but can last two years or more. As natural volume and elasticity build, the skin becomes firmer and more youthful with fewer lines and wrinkles — and because the added volume isn’t artificial, the results appear slowly and look completely natural.
