Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler which stimulates the body to produce natural collagen. Dr. Downie traveled to Europe to try it, after it became available there in 1999 under the name of "Neu Fill." Sculptra is a volumizer as well, but since its primary benefit is boosting collagen, the amazing results are gradual and subtle – not instant. If you want friends and family to wonder how you stay so young looking, if you don't want them to ask what you've just had done, Sculptra could be ideal for you.

Sculptra is formulated of a poly-L-lactic acid, a byproduct that occurs naturally in your body. Therefore, you cannot experience an allergic reaction to it, and it is extremely safe. It can be injected in the temples, cheekbones, under the eyes, jaw line, ears, the area between the nose and mouth, and the chin to replace lost volume and restore a more youthful appearance. It can even be used on the back of the hands to give them a younger look. Sculptra starts to restore the natural fullness you enjoyed several years ago by correcting shallow wrinkles and deep facial and nose folds. Simply put, Sculptra delivers the "three Rs" – it replaces, restores, and refines. In order to see the full results of Sculptra, Dr. Downie may recommend monthly treatment sessions for four to six months. The amazing results, however, last approximately two years – longer than other volumizers such as Juvederm and Radiesse. This is one of the best products she uses for a face that is aging significantly with deeper lines.

Of all the services she offers, dermal fillers are Dr. Downie's favorite procedure because the results are so gratifying. She defines her work as image dermatology – reshaping, resculpting, redefining and restoring.

Dr. Downie's patients – many men and women in the public eye – politicians, television personalities, and business powerhouses – want a subtle change to turn back the hands of time. So do many everyday people you know. Sculptra is a great solution.
