How does it work?
It will work gradually after being injected into the areas where wrinkles and folds need to be eliminated. Unlike many anti-aging treatments available in the market, it reduces the aging signs gradually over time but the results can last for to 2 years or longer. It is recommended for patients looking for long-term outcomes and not the short-term results of about six months that most fillers achieve. After your treatment with Sculptra Highland Park patients will not look as if they have had any work done on their treated areas.

Dr. Bloch will examine your face and agree with you where the areas on your face that can be treated.
How many treatments do I need?
For optimal results, patients typically require about three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
