Rebuild Lost Collagen
Restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds
Epi Center MedSpa of San Francisco is proud to offer Sculptra®, an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue. Results can last up to two years.
WHAT DOES SCULPTRA® DO?
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.
As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.

IS SCULPTRA® RIGHT FOR ME?
After years of squinting, laughing, and worrying, the skin around our eyes, forehead, and lips often develops deep expression lines and wrinkles. These make you appear older, tired, or stressed. If you want to look younger and stave off the further development of wrinkles, BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are excellent options.

The pain is a minimal “pinprick,” and no anesthetic is required. Most patients tolerate treatment well. If you are concerned, we have several pain management solutions that we can discuss with you.
Who performs the BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® injections?
Epi Center MedSpa has nurses, nurse practitioners, and PAs who are highly skilled and completely understand facial anatomy. Their knowledge and experience significantly lower the risk that you will experience an effect of droopiness or a “frozen” appearance. We have been providing BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® treatments for more than 15 years and are an Allergen Platinum member and the number one Dysport® provider in San Francisco.
What is the difference between BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® come from different manufacturers but treat the same cosmetic conditions using the same active ingredient – botulinum toxin A. Over time, people may develop a resistance to BOTOX® Cosmetic, and subsequently, they may get better results with Dysport®. As a practice, we believe that Dysport® lasts a little longer. It is faster acting and has a more gradual and forgiving transitioning period between treatments.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Often we can provide service within a couple of days of receiving your request. Call 415-362-4754 for assistance or click here.
