When facial volume is lost for any number of reasons, the face can take on a sunken, aged look, which can be corrected with the dermal filler, Sculptra. This poly-L-lactic acid-based filler is offered at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates in Oklahoma City to stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen aids in skin elasticity and firmness, which helps to build up the lost volume. Cosmetic surgeons Dr. Erik Nuveen and Dr. Courtney Caplin can inject Sculptra into the jaw line, smile lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth and cheeks. Sculptra can last more than a year in most patients.
A Sculptra session averages around $700. This price reflects one syringe of the product. During a treatment session, the number of syringes used will be determined based on the skin's condition and how many areas are being treated. It is common for some patients to require 1-3 syringes during a treatment session.
