As we age, collagen loss leads to skin laxity, volume loss, and changes in facial structure. While fillers replace volume instantly, Sculptra works differently — it stimulates your body to rebuild its own collagen for gradual, natural rejuvenation.
At CosMed Aesthetics in Tigard, OR, Sculptra is a go-to treatment for clients who want to improve skin laxity and facial aging without looking overfilled or overdone.
What Causes Skin Laxity and Facial Aging?
Skin laxity develops due to:
-
Natural collagen depletion
-
Loss of facial fat support
-
Skin thinning
-
Gravity and repetitive movement
-
Hormonal and metabolic changes
These changes lead to sagging cheeks, softening of the jawline, and overall facial aging.
How Sculptra Works to Restore Collagen
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that encourages your body to produce new collagen over time.
Instead of filling lines directly, Sculptra:
✔ Improves skin firmness
✔ Strengthens underlying structure
✔ Restores facial support
✔ Enhances skin quality gradually
Results develop over weeks and continue improving for months.
Areas Commonly Treated with Sculptra
Sculptra is ideal for treating:
-
Cheeks (volume & support)
-
Temples
-
Jawline softening
-
Lower face laxity
-
Smile lines
-
General facial aging
It’s especially popular for clients noticing overall sagging rather than isolated wrinkles.
