Rebuild Collagen Naturally

Beautiful skin is a journey. But as time goes on, it can be harder and harder to keep up. As you age, collagen production diminishes, and your skin doesn’t have the same resiliency and fullness it did in the past. Discover Sculptra – the treatment that activates your skin’s natural power to revitalize collagen production for a more youthful appearance. Sculptra is a unique A&C treatment due to its ability to stimulate collagen.

Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production lost to aging, rebuilding and reinforcing your skin’s structural foundation. Through a series of treatments, typically about three sessions over a few months, it restores the support and volume of youthful looking skin, providing results that can last up to two years.

BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Cliff notes: Create your own volume!

Sculptra is a cosmetic treatment that has revolutionized how people perceive dermal fillers. While most traditional dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to produce short-term cosmetic results, Sculptra encourages your body to naturally enhance its own volume and reverse the signs of aging for up to two years.

HOW DOES THE APPOINTMENT GO?

Cliff notes: 30-45 minutes

After we check you in at Obsidian, we'll take you to one of our treatment rooms. Your first appointment will be an initial consultation in which we'll gather information about you and determine if you are a good candidate. We will discuss your aesthetic goals and examine your skin. After your consult, and we determine Sculptra is a good fit, we will cleanse your skin, mark out the injection area and then carefully place small injections where we think will give you the best results. Your appointment should only last 30-45 minutes.

WHAT DOES RECOVERY LOOK LIKE?

Cliff notes: Piece of cake

There’s no downtime, allowing you to resume most daily activities immediately. However, you’ll be given some recovery guidelines to help with any mild swelling, bruising, irritation, and redness on the injection sites for a few days. We recommend 1-2 vials per year for maintenance.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

Cliff notes: Up to two years

Sculptra produces some of the most natural-looking results among all dermal fillers. First, it encourages your body to produce its own collagen, so the results occur due to your body’s internal processes rather than foreign substances. Second, the results appear gradually over several weeks or months, so there’s no sudden transformation. Most people won’t even realize you’ve had work done because the results will appear gradually. It may take a few weeks or months for the full results to become apparent, but the results also last up to two years.

What is teeth whitening?

People often throw the terms “teeth whitening” and “bleaching” around interchangeably. However, according to the FDA, teeth are “whitened” when they are lightened to match their natural color, and they are “bleached” when they are whitened beyond their natural shade.
Does teeth whitening remove stains?

Yes of course it does! Our Teeth whitening packages not only removes stains but it keeps them from coming back quickly. Obviously excessive drinking of coffee and wine can speed up this process, but even then our teeth whitening package completely slows down the staining process.
How white will my teeth get?

Everyone is born with a particular tooth color, just like your skin, hair and eyes. Our gels work to return you back to your original genetic tooth color. This varies from person to person. After just one treatment, most people are satisfied. For some people, a second or third treatment may be needed to achieve the results they are looking for. Some stains are much more difficult to remove than others. Depending on age and the type of stains, they may require more attention than others.
Is it safe?

Numerous scientific studies have shown that there are no harmful effects from teeth whitening when teeth and gums are normal and healthy.
Are there any side effects?

No serious adverse side effects are associated with our teeth whitening system. Some people do experience blanching of the gum line, a mild tingling sensation, or sensitivity, all of which typically last no more than 24 hours and can be alleviated by applying vitamin E oil to the teeth and/or gums.
How long does it last?

Teeth whitening requires maintenance or touch-ups for a long lasting effect. The results can last for 12 months to 2 years and sometimes longer. The older you are, the more stains you have accumulated. Bleaching works to remove discolorations and restore your teeth to their natural white color. You may want to periodically whiten your teeth as exposure to certain foods and beverages will gradually darken teeth again over time. Most people touch up every 6 months to a year. You can whiten your teeth up to 3 times per year with our system.
How long before I can eat or drink teeth staining foods and drinks after my session?

We recommend avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, berries, candy, red sauces, and other teeth-staining foods and beverages for the first 24 hours after your session.
How long will the appointment take?

Your appointment will be one to three 20 minute sessions. After the first 20 minute session, we will check to see if the desired level of whiteness has been achieved. Typically first time patients will do three treatments, with a 20 minute touch up every three to six months.
