Reduce Wrinkles & Lines with Long-Lasting Sculptra Facial Filler
At AMAE Med Spa in Birmingham, MI we offer the latest and most advanced options for reducing wrinkles, lines and other visible signs of aging. But Sculptra injectable is truly different from the rest.
While minimally invasive, Sculptra treatments deliver results that have long-lasting outcomes that look quite natural. Patients in our Birmingham, MI Med Spa see results with Sculptra that offer immediate results – while also gradually improving lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance that can last up to 7 years!
Sculptra is ideal for patients with creases, lines, and wrinkles, as well as volume loss and other signs of aging. It works particularly well to dispel lines around the nose and mouth called nasolabial folds. Plus, it’s very effective at minimizing fine lines and creases in the chin and “marionette lines” around both sides of the mouth.
How Sculptra Fights the Signs of Aging
Collagen loss is one of the main causes of visible skin aging. As people age, their bodies naturally begin to produce less collagen, which is a core structural element of plump, youthful-looking skin. In addition to aging, sun exposure, smoking, weight fluctuations and other environmental factors, can cause fine lines, wrinkles and folds in the skin to appear.
Many consumers buy collagen-enriched creams that claim to help with anti-aging, but they can’t remedy the loss of collagen that happens below the skin. Sculptra, on the other hand, actually increases the body’s collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin to renew it from the inside out.
Sculptra’s main ingredient, Poly-L-lactic acid or PPL gradually stimulates collagen production deep within the skin’s dermis to build collagen and create more youthful skin volume. PPL is biocompatible and is naturally absorbed into the body.
Sculptra treatments immediately build volume when injected. But, as collagen molecules form around the Sculptra, it creates a natural looking youthfulness that emerges slowly and looks genuine. As natural collagen levels build, they restore fullness to the face and eliminate wrinkles and folds in the skin naturally.
Sculptra results typically last more than 3 years – with some studies showing benefits in collagen production that can last as long as 7 years.
Why Our Patients Love Sculptra
Sculptra is non-surgical – so there’s no incisions involved and no downtime afterwards. Sculptra does not contain animal, bacterial or human components in its formula, making it very safe. And because Sculptra is a “biocompatible” substance there are no known allergic reactions to Sculptra.
Sculptra has been used more than 200,000 patients to reduce lines and wrinkles with excellent results.
Additionally, because there is virtually no downtime after Sculptra, patients are back to their daily routine immediately following treatment. Should any redness around the injection site occur it will typically dissipate within a few hours and any mild bruising can easily be covered with makeup.
Dr. Ali and our nurse injectors will give patients instructions on how to minimize any post-treatment side effects. For example, applying an ice pack to the injection site every so often can help reduce any mild bruising and/or swelling. (Be sure the pack is wrapped so the ice does not come in contact with skin in the treatment area.)

Sculptra’s natural approach to dramatically rebuilding collagen for regaining a more youthful appearance can’t be matched. Topical creams can’t work under the skin and injectable fillers have much shorter results.
Our Birmingham, MI Med Spa patients see both an immediate and long-term return of youthful skin and plumpness that looks natural and healthy, making Sculptra one of the best choices to achieve noticeable wrinkle reduction results without surgery.
