Sculptra

Silhouette Instalift is an absorbable suture with a twofold benefit. First, they lift tissue utilizing their patented design, a series of small cones oriented in opposite directions. This design allows the skin and subcutaneous fat to be advanced over the cones and then held in a lifted position. The second benefit is collagen stimulation. The sutures are made of Poly-L-Lactic acid, a molecule proven to increase collagen production and tighten the skin over time.

Aluma patients love that this treatment delivers immediate facial lift with gradual skin rejuvenation without the downtime of surgery.

Before & After Care

No special preparation is needed for your Sculptra treatment. Some clients prefer to arrive with a clean, makeup-free face, though our staff will always cleanse the treatment area before starting. For added comfort, we mix lidocaine with the Sculptra injections, but you may also choose to take 1,000 mg of Tylenol before your appointment to minimize any discomfort.
Sculptra has little to no downtime, with mild redness, swelling, and potential bruising at the injection sites. The swelling, mainly due to the injected solution, typically subsides within 24-72 hours, and most patients can resume regular activities the next day.
