Question 1

As a biostimulator, what does sculptra do?

Accepted Answer

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, an injectable that stimulates the body’s collagen production. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, but its production decreases with age. By injecting Sculptra throughout the face, it helps restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles and crepey skin gradually over time. Sculptra results take 6-8 weeks to begin working and last about two years.

Question 2

How do calcium based fillers like radiesse work?

Accepted Answer

Radiesse is an injectable made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres.  Used straight up, it is very cohesive and can mimic bone structure  beautifully to build crisp cheeks and jawlines. When we dilute it, we  can use its magic to stimulate collagen and elastin in areas that need  it such as the neck, chest, arms, knees, thighs , abdomen, and buttocks  to help smooth out crepey skin without adding too much volume. It is our  #1 non surgical neck tightening treatment.

Question 3

How do skin hydrating skinVive treatments work?

Accepted Answer

SkinVive is an injectable internal hydrator that everyone is a candidate  for. It naturally plumps and hydrates the skin without adding any  volume. It is the perfect treatment for anyone looking for smooth,  glowing skin.

Question 4

How do injectable fat melters, like kybella and pCDC, work?

Accepted Answer

Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a natural substance in  the body that aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. When injected into  the chin, for example, Kybella works by destroying the fat cells,  resulting in a more sculpted and defined chin profile. The body then  eliminates these broken-down fat cells over time, leading to a smoother  and more contoured appearance. Kybella can be used on many stubborn  pockets in fat int he body.

Question 5

What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin and PRF EZ gel?

Accepted Answer

PRF or PRFM is a technique to generate a complex fibrin matrix rich in  platelets, leukocytes and mesenchymal stem cells out of your own blood.  This gel is that injected back into your skin, similarly to PRP, but it  breaks down much slower creating even more robust results. This is an  amazing treatment for treatment the crepey skin and pigmentation under  the eyes for patients that are not a candidate for undereye filler. This  is also a great option for patients that are looking to age “naturally”  without the use of traditional fillers. This is the most advanced way  that we can use your own blood to maintain a youthful, glowing  appearance.

Question 6

What are exosomes?

Accepted Answer

Exosomes are tiny nanoparticles released and received by almost all  cells in the body. These extracellular vesicles function as a  communication system, transmitting crucial molecular information between  cells. Growth factors, which bind to receptors on the cell surface,  activate cellular proliferation and differentiation. These proteins  promote cell growth and support the repair of damaged skin. They play a  vital role in producing collagen and elastic, which provide firmness and  elasticity, while also helping to maintain the skin’s protective  functions. This is incredibly powerful when we use them during skincare  treatments such as after microneedling.
