Acne
Acne is a genetic pore disorder where excess dead skin forms microcomedones, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed pimples. The process takes up to 90 days.
Causes of Acne:
-
Excess Oil: Overactive glands clog pores.
-
Stress & Sleep Deprivation: Increases oil production.
-
Pore-Clogging Ingredients: Even “non-comedogenic” products can trigger breakouts.

Sculptra vs. Fillers: Which One Is Right for You?
When it comes to restoring youthful volume and reducing visible signs of aging, two standout options often lead the conversation: Sculptra and dermal fillers. While both are injectable treatments designed to rejuvenate the face, they work in fundamentally different ways and deliver distinct results.
Understanding how these treatments differ is the first step in choosing the right solution for your personal aesthetic goals.
​
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a biostimulant — not a traditional filler. It’s made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a compound that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. Instead of adding volume instantly, Sculptra rebuilds the skin’s structure from within, offering gradual, natural-looking improvement that can last up to 2 years or more.
Sculptra is ideal for those experiencing overall volume loss, especially in the cheeks, temples, and lower face. It’s a favorite among clients who want to look refreshed without looking “done.”​

​What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers—most commonly made with hyaluronic acid (HA)—are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to instantly add volume, smooth lines, and sculpt facial features. These fillers are best for targeted corrections and can be used in areas such as:
-
Lips
-
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
-
Marionette lines
-
Cheeks and tear troughs
Results are visible immediately and typically last between 6 months and 2 years, depending on the product and treatment area.
