Hi! I am in my early thirties and am starting to notice signs of aging. I am trying to put off fillers for as long as possible so I was researching Microneedling for collagen induction. That said, I would be interested in Sculptra if it is more efficient at creating new collagen. In that case, it feels more like a treatment than a bandaid like other fillers if that makes sense. But if the microneedling is as effective then I may forgo the needle for now. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Answer: Which is more effective at building new collagen, Sculptra or microneedling? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Sculptra is better than microneedling at developing new collagen, as well as volume. Depending on your area of interest it will take a series of treatments but is very well tolerated by patients. Hope this helps.

Answer: Sculptra or Microneedling? Sculptra tops Microneedling Microneedling and Sculptra are both effective, but very different procedures to boost collagen production. Microneedling induces a more subtle collagen production over time, and is great for more superficial “texture” type of changes, like fine lines, pore size, and even acne scars. Sculptra, or Poly-L-lactic acid is an injectable biostimulator to induce deep collagen production when there is more significant volume loss in the face over time. In general, microneedling is considered a less aggressive procedure. Sculptra replaces lost structure and decreased fat pad volume that happens as we age. If you are looking for more preventative or more textural rejuvenation, microneedling is less expensive and effective. If you are noticing loss of volume, or gravitational changes on your face like drooping, Sculptra can be natural and extremely effective with minimal downtime. I recommend you seek an expert dermatologist in your area to discuss your specific concerns and what would better help achieve your goals.

Answer: Better for New Collagen? Sculptra Beats Microneedling Microneedling is a good way to stimulate superficial collagen and/or break up scars. But if you are looking for a big boost in collagen production, then Sculptra is the way to go. This dermal filler is injected deeply into the dermis, where its microspheres of Poly-L-lactic acid stimulate a process whereby collagen is produced to take their place. The new collagen continues to be produced for months, which is why Sculptra only has to be re-administered every 18-24 months. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to help you decide if Sculptra is the way to go, or if you would benefit most from a combination treatment of both Sculptra and microneedling.
