Sculptra Esthetic (Poly-L Lactic Acid)

Request a Consult

Sculptra was developed after it was noted that skin, when healing around a suture site, would increase its production of collagen, the same component of our skin that we lose as we age.

In turn, Sculptra is a liquid form of a kind of stitch/suture material that is often used in surgery. It is mixed with a fluid solution when injected into the skin. As a result, you will look swollen for a few hours until the fluid reabsorbs.

What is Sculptra?

Unlike Hyaluronic Acid, there is no immediate effect from Sculptra and full results may take up to 12 weeks to be realized. During that time, the Poly-L lactic acid in Sculptra is stimulating significant collagen production. In essence, your own skin is regenerating! Typically, several (2-4) injection sessions are performed spaced a month apart. The results of a series of Sculptra injections often appear very natural, and last 2 years or longer. Sculptra cannot be dissolved after it is injected. Click here to learn more about Sculptra Esthetic!

Thanks Amie for an amazing hydro facial. Amie pays attention to detail and is always checking in with me to make sure I am doing ok. My face always looks glowing and feels so soft. She is so kind and caring.
Thank you Amie!

I have been going to Midwest Facial for over 20 years. Everyone I have ever met with there has been very professional, friendly and seemed to have my best interest at heart. This is also a fun group of people which makes going there a pleasure. I highly recommend.

DR. GRIFFIN IS THE G.O.A.T. He is knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and tactful when giving recommendations. Excellent bedside manner. Definitely helped improve my condition and restore my confidence. I am so happy with my results. The staff from the nurse to front desk person were kind, courteous and professional. 10/10 I highly recommend going to this clinic.

Dr. Tolan and the entire staff at Midwest Facial and Plastic Surgery have helped me so much. I am so fortunate to have been treated by him... The entire experience has been so wonderful I don't know why I waited so long?

I have been a client of Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery for around a decade. The staff is so friendly and courteous. My treatments have exceeded my expectations and family/friends are complimenting me on how healthy my skin looks.

Every single person I met during my visit was warm, compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. I felt like I was their most important patient of the day even though they had a full schedule. I left my appointment with a full understanding of my options and next steps.

Dr. Farhood made me very comfortable with the procedure from the beginning to the end… He truly cares about us people! He is very confident in his work and that says a lot.
