Need a Lift?

What if you could get facelift-like results without the surgery, downtime, or discomfort? When it comes to addressing drooping skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume in the face, you don't always need to go under the knife to see dramatic results with Sculptra. As a North American Master Trainer for Sculptra, Dr. Gregory Buford brings advanced product knowledge and hands-on expertise to every treatment plan. His approach focuses on placing Sculptra with precision, so you leave looking balanced, refreshed, and natural as your collagen builds over time.

Face & Skin Self-Assessment

Before you meet with Dr. Buford for your consultation, consider filling out our face and skin self-assessment. By sharing how you see yourself, we can best evaluate your aesthetic goals and determine an appropriate treatment plan for you. Sculptra® injections stimulate the body's collagen production, which lifts and plumps the face, giving you a more youthful, rested appearance. With a Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment in Lone Tree, your friends will notice the difference too—is it a new hairstyle? A new relationship? A great vacation? You'll never tell—unless you want to.

Benefits of Sculptra

With Sculptra Denver patients have a strong option for improvement that builds gradually instead of an instant filler effect. Because it helps stimulate collagen production, the treatment can support both facial volume and skin quality over time.

  • Restores subtle volume in areas affected by collagen loss
  • Helps improve skin texture and firmness
  • Supports natural-looking results that build over a few months
  • Softens nasolabial folds, marionette lines, smile lines, and deeper creases
  • Encourages your body to create new collagen
  • Can refresh facial structure without looking overfilled
  • May be used for select body concerns, including hip dips

Who Is a Candidate for Sculptra?

Good candidates for Sculptra are patients who want gradual improvement in facial volume, skin texture, and overall skin quality. It can be a good fit if you’re noticing collagen loss, mild hollowing, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or a flatter look through the cheeks or temples.

Sculptra may not be the right choice if you want immediate volume, have an active skin infection, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or need correction that would respond better to surgery or hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr. Buford will evaluate your skin, anatomy, and goals before recommending the best treatment plan.

Areas That Can Be Treated With Sculptra

Sculptra works well in areas where collagen loss has made the skin look thinner, flatter, or less supported. Because it helps stimulate collagen production over time, it’s often used for patients who want natural-looking results without the instant “filled” look of some dermal fillers.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Cheeks
  • Temples
  • Jawline
  • Chin
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Smile lines
  • Fine lines and deep folds
  • Hip dips in select patients

Dr. Buford will evaluate your facial volume, skin quality, and treatment area before creating a Sculptra treatment plan.

Sculptra Treatment Timeline

Every patient’s Sculptra treatment timeline is different, so this is a general guide rather than a fixed schedule. The number of sessions depends on your collagen loss, treatment area, skin quality, and desired results.

  • Consultation: Dr. Buford evaluates your facial volume, skin structure, and treatment goals to decide where Sculptra injections can create the most natural-looking improvement.
  • Initial treatment: Sculptra Aesthetic is placed in targeted areas using multiple injections. You may see temporary fullness at first, but that usually fades as the product begins working beneath the skin.
  • Follow-up sessions: Many patients need a series of treatments, often spaced several weeks apart. Some patients may need three to four sessions, while others need fewer or more.
  • Collagen-building phase: Sculptra works gradually as your body creates new collagen. Results usually build over a few months as collagen production increases.
  • Maintenance: Once optimal results appear, Dr. Buford may recommend proper maintenance to help preserve your results over time.

How Sculptra Works

Youthful skin has a few elements that keep it looking smooth and supple. One of the key components is collagen, which plays a large role in structurally supporting your skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, resulting in wrinkles, loose skin, and loss of volume. Sculptra is an effective option for replenishing lost collagen and gradually restoring a youthful appearance over time.

Most patients benefit from a series of three injection sessions over the course of a few months, though treatment may vary depending on your individual concerns and desired results. Sculptra is a gentle treatment using topical numbing cream, providing a comfortable treatment experience that boasts minimal discomfort and no downtime. Results can last for more than 2 years.

Sculptra Recovery

Recovery after Denver Sculptra injections is usually simple. Most patients can return to normal routines soon after treatment, though mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may happen around the injection site.

Dr. Buford may give massage instructions to support even distribution of the product. Since Sculptra works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, patience is part of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of Sculptra depends on the treatment area, how much product is needed, and how many sessions are recommended. During your consultation, Dr. Buford will create a treatment plan and provide pricing based on your goals.

How many Sculptra treatments you need depends on your collagen loss, skin quality, anatomy, and desired results. Many patients need a series of Sculptra sessions rather than one appointment.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This bio stimulator helps support natural collagen production beneath the skin.

Hyaluronic acid fillers add immediate volume. Sculptra works gradually by encouraging your own collagen, which can improve skin texture, skin structure, and facial volume over time.

Sculptra results appear gradually over a few months. You may see temporary fullness right after treatment, but the real change develops as collagen production increases.

Sculptra is considered safe for appropriate candidates when it’s placed by an experienced injector who understands product depth, dilution, facial anatomy, and treatment spacing. Dr. Buford is a North American Master Trainer for Sculptra, which means he trains other providers on proper technique, safety, and patient selection.

Natrelle® Breast Implants
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others.

Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast augmentation and revision surgery in women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.

You should not get breast implants if you currently have an active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.

Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.

Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture.

Talk to your doctor for more information.

The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant surgery.
