Injectable fillers are powerful tools for facial rejuvenation, but not all fillers work the same way. Sculptra and hyaluronic acid fillers offer different benefits depending on your goals. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right option for natural, long-lasting results. Dr. Maya Kato offers Sculptra and dermal fillers to patients in Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs and surrounding desert cities.

How Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work

Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate volume by attracting water to the treated area. They are commonly used for lips, cheeks, jawline, and smile lines. Results are visible right away and typically last six to eighteen months.

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. Rather than providing instant volume, it gradually improves skin thickness, firmness, and structure. Results develop over several months and can last up to two years or more.

Key Differences Between Sculptra and HA Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers offer instant correction and precise shaping. Sculptra offers gradual, natural rejuvenation and overall facial improvement. Many patients benefit from a combination approach using both products strategically.

Which Is Right for You

Patients seeking immediate enhancement often prefer hyaluronic acid fillers. Those looking for long-term collagen support and subtle, progressive results may choose Sculptra. A personalized consultation helps determine the best plan.
