As we age, our skin naturally loses the volume and elasticity that keep it looking youthful and vibrant. This volume loss often leads to hollow cheeks, deep folds, and fine lines that can make you look tired even when you're fully rested.
At Colorado Skin Care in Englewood, Colorado, Dr. Kimberly Stone, MD, and our team help you navigate your aesthetic options to find the perfect treatment. Whether you're looking for immediate results or gradual, long-term rejuvenation, we offer customized solutions like Sculptra and dermal fillers to restore your natural glow.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Most traditional fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and binds moisture to create immediate plumpness.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS, 2023), providers performed over 5.2 million hyaluronic acid filler procedures in 2023 alone. These treatments are excellent for instantly enhancing lips, lifting cheeks, and softening deep lines around your mouth.
Unlike traditional fillers that physically fill a space, Sculptra is a collagen biostimulator made of poly-L-lactic acid. When injected, it works deep within your skin to stimulate your body's own natural collagen production.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 2023) has approved Sculptra to correct fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region for up to 24 months. This gradual process means your results appear naturally over several months and last much longer than standard fillers.
Research published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH, 2025) found that 91% of patients treated with poly-L-lactic acid reported increased skin firmness. This makes it an ideal option if you want to rebuild the structural foundation of your face.
The choice between these two powerful treatments depends entirely on your personal goals, timeline, and the specific areas you want to address. If you have an upcoming event and want immediate results, traditional fillers are likely your best option.
If you prefer a subtle, gradual transformation that builds over time and lasts up to two years, Sculptra may be the perfect fit. Our team evaluates your skin and helps you design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic vision.
