Short instructional/transcript excerpt from a Trucare Cosmetic Surgery video where Amanda, a nurse practitioner, explains Sculptra (polylactic acid) as a treatment for age-related facial volume loss. She describes target areas (temporals, lower face, marionette area), contrasts Sculptra with filler, and notes Sculptra stimulates the skin to produce collagen over time.
My name is Amanda. I'm the nurse practitioner at Trucare Cosmetic Surgery. And today we're going to do some sculpts. What we're going to do is kind of focus on any areas that she has volume loss. Just so definitely with age, we always lose volume. And volume that you lose has a lot to do with genetics. So for yourself, you have a little bit of volume loss in your temporal area and the lower part of your face, and then kind of down here to the marinette area, Sculptra, which is polylactic acid, it basically goes into the areas that you have a generalized volume loss where it would be too much to put filler in that particular area. And plus, filler is different because this is going to help my skin build its own collagen. Right. So over time, it's going to get better and better.
