Sun damage, smoking, age, and other factors all contribute to a roughness of the skin tissues. The skin’s surface is further disrupted as wrinkles and age lines form. For smooth, youthful skin, many plastic surgeons suggest Sculptra Aesthetic, an injectable used to encourage new collagen creation.
The formation of new collagen protein leads to an increased thickness and volume in the skin tissues. Over the course of several months, the skin tissues are “filled” internally with collagen in the lower skin layers, making the epidermis – the outermost skin layer – smooth and firm. No surgery required, just injections of Sculptra Aesthetic.
Meet with Dr. Thomas Kaniff, board-certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, to find out more about Sculptra Aesthetic’s beneficial effects. To make an appointment to see Dr. Kaniff, contact our office.
