Sculptra®
Sculptra has been used for over ten years throughout Europe for cosmetic procedures. In the United States, Sculptra is approved for HIV related lipo-atrophy but is used "off-label" for cosmetic purposes. Cosmetic applications usually require one to three treatments while reconstructive procedures often require three or more treatments, depending on severity of condition. Sculptra is not permanent but the results look natural and are extremely long lasting. When injected properly by a highly trained physician, Sculptra provides excellent, cost effective results. In Dr. Fréchette’s extensive experience with Sculptra, patients rarely if ever regress back to their pre-treatment appearance.

Dr. Gervais Fréchette has performed over twenty thousand successful Sculptra® procedures in his offices in New York City and San Francisco and as a National Physician Trainer for Dermik . With his unparalleled experience, he is overwhelmingly recognized as the industry leader in the administration of Sculptra® by physicians all over North America and around the world. Dermik, the maker of Sculptra, acknowledges Dr. Frechette as the leading provider of Sculptra® for both reconstructive and cosmetic applications. Dr. Frechette's long term clinical studies have shown that Sculptra is not only a safe and natural skin regeneration product but that Sculptra has enduring effects and often lasts even longer than current FDA estimates.
Sculptra® is a "volumizer" and although similar results can be achieved with other "fillers" on the market, Sculptra® is unique in how it works and how long it lasts. Sculptra® is a synthesized version of a naturally occurring sugar already present in humans. In fact, it is the mere presence of this “sugar” that triggers your body to produce collagen. When we are young, our bodies contain more of this “sugar” but as we age, we produce less and less of it and therefore, make less collagen. By re-introducing this “sugar”, we are tricking our body into thinking it is younger and the response is natural collagen production.
“Fillers” show immediate and definitive results. Sculptra®, on the other hand works in a very different manner. Sculptra® is a powder and comes in airtight bottles. Five cc’s of sterilized water is added to each bottle twenty-four hours in advance for optimum injection consistency. Once injected, a patient may appear to have reached optimum results but over the next three to five days, your body will absorb the water, leaving just the Sculptra® behind which immediately triggers collagen production. Subtle yet natural changes in appearance are apparent by the time the water has been absorbed. Over the next several months, your body will continue to add even more volume as collagen is produced. This process will continue for many months. So many in fact, that by the time your body metabolizes the actual Sculptra® (approx. eighteen months), you will have replaced it with even more natural collagen. Collagen produced at a site is enduring while injected collagen is recognized by your body as foreign and will quickly begin to remove it.
