Shed unwanted hair from the source.

Gone are days spent shaving, waxing, and plucking. With laser hair removal, you can get long-lasting hair reduction without the daily effort. Laser hair removal in St. Louis is a safe procedure that targets pigment in the hair follicle to destroy the hair’s growth centers. Even the hair that grows back is finer and less noticeable than it was before.

The results are subtle and natural-looking, gradually improving over a few months and lasting up to two years. This makes Sculptra® a preferred choice for those seeking a non-surgical option to achieve a rejuvenated appearance. Our certified professionals provide personalized treatments tailored to your unique skin needs, ensuring you achieve the best possible results. Rediscover your youthful glow with Sculptra® at Aestheticare STL in St. Louis, MO, and experience the confidence that comes with revitalized skin!

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved facial injectable composed of synthetic poly-lactic acid. It aids your body in gradually replenishing lost collagen, restoring fullness, and smoothing wrinkles around the mouth and nose. By boosting collagen production in the deep dermis, Sculptra® addresses the core causes of aging, helping to rebuild your skin’s inner structure and volume. Collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and resilience, and Sculptra® revitalizes its production, leading to subtle but noticeable improvements.

How Does Sculptra® Work?

Sculptra works by addressing the root cause of aging- collagen loss. It stimulates collagen production, elastin, and new cell growth in the skin and underlying tissue. This rebuilding process enhances the skin’s internal structure, adding volume and improving elasticity, firmness, and resilience. Over time, increased collagen production smooths out wrinkles and creases, leading to natural and noticeable improvements. These results are achieved through a series of gradual treatments.

Benefits of Sculptra® Treatment

Sculptra® is a facial injectable designed to rejuvenate your appearance by providing a softer, more youthful, and natural look. It targets wrinkles, lines, and furrows around the lips, eyes, mouth, neck, cheeks, and chin, smoothing them out. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra® helps fill in indentations, folds, and wrinkles, offering up to an 80% improvement in the treated areas. With no downtime required, the enhancements are subtle and develop gradually, ensuring a natural-looking transformation.

Sculptra® vs. Other Treatments

Sculptra® and hyaluronic acid fillers each enhance skin appearance differently. Sculptra® uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production and promote new cell growth deep within the skin. However, hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate hydration and volume to the treated area. While hyaluronic acid fillers deliver instant results, the benefits of Sculptra® develop gradually over time and are more enduring.

Benefits

PRECISE AND ACCURATE

Not only can lasers target specific areas of the skin, they can also target specific pigments. That gives them the ability to seek unwanted hair while leaving the rest of the skin unharmed.

Unlike other treatments that offer temporary improvements, Sculptra® works gradually to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This means your skin’s texture and elasticity improve over time, creating a more natural and subtle enhancement.

FAST AND EASY PROCESS

Pulses of light only take a fraction of a second while treating multiple hairs at once. Laser hair removal can treat a quarter-sized area every second, making the process quick and easy.

You might experience minor swelling or redness at the injection sites, but these typically subside within a few hours. This makes Sculptra® an ideal choice for those with busy schedules who want to enhance their appearance without extended recovery periods.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Unlike other hair removal methods, laser hair removal in St. Louis gives permanent hair reduction benefits. Since the laser destroys the hair follicle’s growth centers, hair can no longer grow back.

This versatile treatment stimulates collagen production, helping to restore the skin’s natural elasticity and firmness, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Recovery

Once we’re done, you’re free to go about the rest of your day without downtime. You’ll need multiple treatments to keep up with your hair growth cycle. This means you can resume your daily activities immediately, enjoying the benefits of our treatment without any interruptions to your routine.

How it works

Laser hair removal doesn’t just shed away hair, it eliminates it at the source. Laser energy penetrates the skin and targets the hair follicles, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. As a result, you get smooth skin that requires minimal maintenance. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra® helps restore the skin’s structure and volume, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Laser hair removal can target unwanted hair on areas such as:

  • Arms
  • Underarms
  • Legs
  • Chin
  • Upper lip

And more

Multiple treatments are required to keep up with the hair’s natural growth cycle. This ensures that you get the most out of your laser hair removal in St. Louis treatment.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before a Sculptra® Treatment

Our expert aesthetic practitioners at Aestheticare STL in St. Louis, are highly experienced in cosmetic treatments and committed to helping you achieve your desired look. During your Sculptra® filler session, we will carefully evaluate your concerns and offer tailored recommendations. To minimize the risk of bruising, it is advisable to avoid supplements and medications that may increase this likelihood before your treatment.

What To Expect During a Sculptra® Treatment

We start with an antibacterial face wash to keep the treatment area free from bacteria. If needed, we apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area. The procedure uses tiny injections with cannulas, like needles but with rounded tips to reduce discomfort and bruising. You might feel a slight pinch during the injections.

What To Expect After a Sculptra® Treatment

Mild side effects like swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site are common after Sculptra® injections. You can gently apply makeup; the swelling and bruising will subside within a few days. Enhanced results appear in as little as one month.
