Can Oral Collagen Builders Be Used with Sculptra?

If you want to build collagen and make your face appear more youthful, you are likely to do better by spending your money on a "Mixto Shrink".  We regularly use the Mixto simultaneously over Sculptra to enhance the result of both the Sculptra and the Mixto. (There seems to be a Synergy between the two treatments.)  Patients who are in the South and have sun injury do particularly well with this combination.

Although there are no studies to prove the efficacy of taking oral collagen builders with your Sculptra treatments, common sense prevails. It's always a good idea to eat and exercise healthfully and to add supplements where necessary. Sculptra is one of my favorite products for restoring a more youthful shape to the face. The older concept that “tighter is better” has been replaced by recognizing the importance of volume distribution as a defining characteristic of a more youthful face. The photo below shows the effect of my injecting Sculptra to restore the volume to my wife's cheeks (she just turned 59).
