Sculptra is Coming to Lisa Benest MD!

Sculptra® Aesthetic is a facial injectable filler treatment for deep facial wrinkles and folds. It replaces the facial volume lost with age. It provides a foundation that replaces collagen gradually to restore a natural looking appearance that can last up to 2 years.

Sculptra® Aesthetic usually requires 2-3 treatments which are done about 1-2 months apart. Sculptra® Aesthetic is different from other facial fillers because it achieves noticeable results that emerge subtly with time, so you do not look instantly like you have had work done. The first facial injectable that lasts up to 2 years.

Healthy Fats for Healthier Skin

Fatty, ocean-sourced fish such as salmon, albacore tuna, herring, anchovies and sardines, as well as walnuts, flaxseed, and canola oil are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which may reduce inflammation in your body that could be exacerbating skin conditions. These essential fatty acids also help to keep your skin healthy, maintain its natural oil barrier and make it look younger (less wrinkly) and clearer. Other sources of "good fats" are olive oil and avocados.

Is My Body Aging Fast Than My Face?

People look at anti-aging and limit it to the appearance of skin on the face, but in reality, the relationship with everything else (your internal health, stress level, etc.) is connected. Try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Wear sunscreen and exercise. It's not one thing - it's many things that are the secrets to anti-aging!
