Face Lift At Forty or Fifty? Forget It! Leading Austin Cosmetic Dermatologist Offers Newly FDA-Approved Sculptra™
The Austin Skin Institute announced today the addition of the newly FDA-approved Sculptra™ to the skin rejuvenation procedures it offers the public.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 18, 2005 -- “Most patients seeking my advice on
facial rejuvenation are convinced that a facelift is the only way they can
regain the youthful appearance they had in their 20’s” says Dr. Daniel J. Ladd
Jr., a cosmetic dermatologist in Austin Texas. “They are amazed to hear that
Sculptra™ is making facelifts a thing of the past.”
Composed of
poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra™ is an FDA-approved substance that is strategically
placed under the skin to restore the youthful contour of the face without
surgery, pain or downtime. Sculptra™ plumps up sagging, hollow areas of the face
that may have lost its youthful appearance due to aging or sun
damage.
Unlike other facial fillers, in which effects last only 3 to 6
months, Sculptra™ treatments produce long lasting results. Clinical studies show
effects last on average of two years for most patients.
Sculptra™
stimulates collagen to add more volume to the face while smoothing the skin. A
topical numbing cream takes pain out of the equation and most patients require
only 3-4 sessions to attain the improvement they desire.
Dr. Ladd also
points out the excellent safety record of Sculptra™, compared to a surgical
facelift. “If you can look great and avoid a costly and potentially dangerous
surgical procedure, that just makes good sense.”
According to the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the average cost for a facelift
is about $6000 – and that does not include extra costs such as anesthesia,
hospital fees and pre- or post-operative exams.
The economics of
Sculptra™ make good sense. “Compared to a facelift, the cost is extremely
reasonable,” according to Dr. Ladd. “Most patients are surprised at how
affordable Sculptra™ is.”
Dr. Ladd is one of the few physicians in Austin
to perform this cutting edge procedure. A leader in the field of cosmetic
dermatology, Dr. Ladd most recently appeared at the American Society for
Mesotherapeutic Liposculpture, Mesotherapy, Botulinum Toxin, and Cosmetic Facial
Fillers Training Seminar in Las Vegas where he taught hundreds of physicians the
latest techniques in Sculptra™ and mesotherapy.
