Non-Surgical Facial Volumizing

This is a great post showing exactly why Sculptra is one of our favorite non-surgical treatments for facial volumizing and contouring. We had a younger female patient from San Diego who came to the office looking for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Hilinski and his med spa staff noted the major issue she had was premature loss of facial volume. This is actually quite common and more related to genetic predisposition than anything else. As we say... Continue Reading

That is because as we age, one of the first things to happen is volume loss in certain areas of the face. In fact, Dr. Hilinski talks about the aging process as a deflating balloon. As time marches on, our... Continue Reading

Sculptra Facial Enhancement

This is a great example of why Sculptra has become one of my favorite facial volumizers. This middle-aged lady from San Diego desired to have more facial fullness and plumping, yet, like many, she did not want to look overfilled. I performed Sculptra injections a 1-2 month period during a simple office visit. What I absolutely love about this injectable filler alternative is how you cannot really point out where the product was injected into... Continue Reading

The Unique Benefits of Sculptra® and Radiesse®

Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost facial volume, combating the common signs of aging by giving your skin a smoother, firmer appearance. Each dermal filler has its own strengths and, when used properly, can effectively address different cosmetic concerns. Unlike many dermal fillers, Radiesse® utilizes very tiny crystals containing calcium hydroxyapatite to treat facial aging rather than hyaluronic acid (HA). Calcium hydroxyapatite is a substance that resembles constituents of bone found naturally in the... Continue Reading

Cosmetic Injectables: How Long Do Results Last?

One of the most common concerns that my patients express during one-on-one consultations is regional volume loss throughout the face. While in the past patients were more focused on a single line or crease, more and more patients are now seeking to restore lost volume across an entire region, such as the cheek mound. The injectables Sculptra® Aesthetic and Bellafill® are highly beneficial for improving both concerns due to their history of successful results. Although... Continue Reading

After discussion, we both decided that Sculptra would be a great choice for her. Sculptra cosmetic happens to be one of my favorite volumizing treatments for the face.
