What Is Sculptra?
Lost volume occurs naturally during the aging process, especially in the mid-face, as the cheeks tend to become hollow and flat. Dr. Oben Blair Ojong offers Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid bio stimulator that allows for fuller and longer-lasting volume in the cheeks. In addition to restoring the contour of the mid-face, Sculptra can decrease the appearance of fine to deep wrinkles and lines, including the nasolabial folds (also called laugh or smile lines) that start at the sides of the nose down to the outer corners of the mouth. With its unique formula approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Sculptra promotes the natural production of collagen in your body, so even if you stop getting injections, your complexion can still be stronger and healthier than before. Schedule an appointment for a consultation at Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics in The Woodlands, TX to hear about the benefits of this aesthetic treatment.
How Are Sculptra Injections Performed?
After your consultation to develop your custom plan for treatment, you will receive your Sculptra injections in one of our private procedure rooms. A local anesthetic or numbing cream can be applied before sterilizing and marking the areas to be injected. Once ready, the bio stimulator is injected into the deeper skin layers at the chosen sites. For best possible results, we suggest a series of four treatments, each done at Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics, about three weeks apart.
What to Expect Following Sculptra Treatment
After your appointment, you may have mild to moderate swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the sites of injections that should heal on its own in 3 – 5 days. To encourage healing, you may apply a cold compress to the treated areas. You should avoid UV exposure after your treatment and always use sun protection. Most patients will see improvements immediately after their appointment, with complete results developing after 3 – 5 months, when the increased production of collagen strengthens the skin. When Sculptra is performed in a series of injections over 3 – 4 months, your results may last up to two years.

Excellent
Amazing experience
If I could give Rêve Dermatology 100 stars, I would.Walking in, you’ll be greeted with a light and beautiful space. At the front desk, you’ll meet Annia, who is such a gem herself. The questionnaire is thorough, and the wait incredibly short. I’d never taken the time to get my skin treated at a dermatologist, and let me tell you—Dr. Ojong was exactly the kind of person you’d want to help you! She is kind, understanding, and goal oriented toward her patients feeling beautiful and comfortable in their own skin.Armed with my new skin care regimen, I would’ve been content at just that, but was delighted when the staff asked if I wanted to try a new line of skin care centered makeup they were showcasing—The Skincare Makeup. The lovely Janet Estrada (@cleanmakeup_janet), showed me how to use her lovingly crafted products, and to say I was amazed when I saw myself in the mirror is an understatement. Clearly crafted with passion for skin health and self-confidence, this makeup looks and feels incredible.I truly feel like I walked out of that office a new person. After feeling uncomfortable in my own skin for so long, I spent the rest of the night misty eyed, so grateful for the compassion showed by the staff at Rêve. Thank you Dr. Ojong, Rêve staff, and Janet for giving me my confidence back!!! Don’t even think about going anywhere else, it won’t even compare.
Dr. Ojong is an absolute sweetheart and really cares about what’s best for your skin and health! I feel lucky to have found such a great doctor. Her office is beautiful and doesn’t feel like a hospital. Her staff is lovely. She’s helped improve my skin by leaps and bounds! I never, ever thought I’d have decent skin, but what she’s done and recommended has GREATLY improved my complexion. We did 3 sessions of Lutronic laser and it helped soooo much! I’ve included my own before and after, both in the same lighting and bare-faced (sans eye). I’m also on a medical grade skincare routine and considering additional other treatments for anti aging, aesthetics, etc. Thank you Dr. Ojong!

Is Collagen Builder Right for Me?
Sculptra is best for anyone who wants to add contour to their cheeks without surgery. Some candidates may have naturally thin cheeks, while others experience full cheeks that are deflated with age. Sculptra may also help to improve fine to severe facial lines and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Since Sculptra's formula helps to prompt the body's natural production of collagen in the skin, most Sculptra patients will notice a visible improvement in the appearance and health of their complexion.
Collagen Builder FAQ
How does Sculptra work?
Using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra is a treatment that works within the dermis of the skin to help stimulate collagen production. As more collagen is formed, Sculptra can help rejuvenate the skin's strength and volume over time. The increased collagen can effectively plump folds and wrinkles.
Are Sculptra injections safe?
Along with approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sculptra has had a long history of safety worldwide since the late 1990s. Side effects are rare and usually mild, including minor pain, swelling, redness, and bruising. Sometimes, bumps may become noticeable when pressure is applied to the treated area. Contact us if you experience any concerns about side effects that are abnormal or last too long.
What is the best age to receive Sculptra?
Sculptra is beneficial for individuals who want to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. It is often used to fill chin wrinkles, lines around the lips, and the deeper lines between the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds). The most common age to receive Sculptra injections is around the late 30s to early 50s. However, Sculptra can be safely used on most men and women who are over the age of 18.
