Is Sculptra safe?
Yes. Sculptra is FDA-approved and made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that has been used in medicine for more than 20 years and is gradually absorbed by the body. Dr. Saad reviews your medical history at the consultation to confirm it’s appropriate for you.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe both treatments as very tolerable. Sculptra is mixed with lidocaine so the injections are comfortable. For Sylfirm X, a topical numbing cream is applied before the session; you’ll feel warmth and light pressure rather than pain.
When will I see results?
Sylfirm X improvements in tone and tightness appear over the first few weeks. Sculptra works more gradually — your body builds new collagen over 2–3 months, with results typically peaking around 8–12 weeks and lasting up to 2 years. Individual results vary.
Will I look “done”?
No — that’s the point of this pairing. Neither treatment adds artificial volume. Sculptra restores your own collagen, and Sylfirm X tightens the skin you already have. Dr. Saad’s entire philosophy is a natural, rested result that people notice without being able to say why.
Can I do both on the same day?
Often, yes. Dr. Saad will recommend the sequence and spacing at your consultation based on your skin and schedule. Many patients space the sessions a few weeks apart, and the package price is reserved when you book, so you can spread the visits over the following weeks.
What if I only want one treatment?
The consultation is free of obligation. If Dr. Saad believes one treatment alone will serve you better, he’ll tell you honestly. Standard pricing applies to individual treatments; the $1,999 package price is for the Trio.
Do I have to pay all at once?
Booking your consultation reserves the promotional price. Payment arrangements are discussed at your consult, and CareCredit financing is accepted.
