Sculptra is a new class of collagen stimulating filler that can dramatically improve skin laxity, help fill in unwanted lines and improve wrinkles. Sculptra is a trade name for Poly-L-Lactic Acid which is actually a natural byproduct of exercise in humans. When we exercise, our muscles make Lactic Acid which is gradually broken down into glucose and carbon dioxide. When injected into the lower layers of the skin Lactic Acid dramatically stimulates collagen production and helps restore volume in the aging face. Unlike traditional tissue fillers, the results from Sculptra can last 2-3 years once the full series of treatments (usually 3) are completed. Sculptra is an advanced skin therapy and can only be injected by experienced physicians with proper certification. Dr. William Sanders is certified as a Sculptra injector and also provides training to other physicians for Botox and other injectable fillers.

Advanced laser technology using the Erbium-Yag resurfacing laser allows us to precisely target irregular, uneven, scarred or aging skin. Nothing improves "tired" or "dull" skin quite like a laser peel. Our Sciton laser allows for a computer-adjusted peel to any depth measured in microns (a micron is one thousandth of a millimeter). A level one peel (usually 20-40 microns in depth) is equivalent to 5-10 standard microdermabrasion treatments all at once! The results are outstanding, and best of all, the treatment can be performed on a Friday so you can be back at work by Monday. Mild redness for 1-2 days is typical for a level one peel but the results more than justify the minimal downtime.
