CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — As we age, our bodies gradually produce less collagen, causing the skin to lose elasticity and firmness. Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser, Southern Utah’s cutting-edge medical spa, offers Sculptra, which stimulates collagen growth to restore a more youthful and natural appearance. Whether you’re looking to reduce lines and wrinkles or add volume to your face to help lift and tighten, it may be the ideal treatment for you.
Patients of all ages visit Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser to restore their natural beauty with the help of nonsurgical and noninvasive therapies. Owner Shannon Evans and her expert team of skin care specialists aim to help everyone learn to love the skin they’re in.
“Everyone has different skin care concerns because no two people are the same,” she said. “I consider it an art.”
While collagen creams and supplements can provide some temporary benefits, they don’t address the underlying causes of facial aging. Toxins and fillers offer more immediate results, but they’ll likely need to be repeated regularly to maintain their anti-aging effects.
Sculptra, on the other hand, is a unique injectable treatment that targets the root cause of facial aging and not just the symptoms. It uses poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable material commonly used in medical implants, to gradually replace lost collagen and rebuild the underlying structure of the skin for long-lasting results. Approved by the FDA, it’s a safe and effective option for treating wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging.
Sculptra works by boosting collagen production to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles. It’s particularly effective in reducing the appearance of smile lines (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin) as well as adding volume throughout the face to help lift and tighten.
Evans, a registered nurse who specializes in aesthetic beauty services, is highly skilled in administering Sculptra injections to help restore a smoother, more lifted appearance to the skin.
Sculptra is injected via a series of treatments typically spaced several weeks apart. This is a gradual process, and the results may not be immediately apparent. However, most patients see significant improvement in their skin’s texture and appearance after several treatments. The effects can last up to two years, making Sculptra a popular choice for patients who want long-term results without undergoing surgery.
“I love any product or procedure that stimulates the production of our own collagen,” Evans said. “With that being said, patience is a must. Collagen takes time to grow, but the results can be outstanding.”
Evans understands that every patient has unique needs and concerns when it comes to their appearance. That’s why she takes the time to carefully evaluate each patient and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific concerns. With her expertise in Sculptra injections, among many other procedures, she helps patients achieve natural-looking results that enhance their natural beauty and boost their confidence.
