Every person is born beautiful. However, as we get older, we may find there are some features we would like to correct or adjust based on our own personal aesthetic.
One of the most versatile tools we have at our disposal at Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute is called Sculptra. Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to gradually restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Our practitioners use fine needles to ensure minimal discomfort, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to enhance your comfort.

What's the difference between Sculptra and filler?
Sculptra and dermal fillers both aim to restore facial volume but work differently: Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid and stimulates collagen production over time, offering gradual and long-lasting results. Dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, provide immediate volume and wrinkle correction. Sculptra at Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute in Windermere is ideal for overall volume loss and skin texture improvement, while dermal fillers target specific wrinkles and areas needing instant plumping
