Gradual, Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation

As we age, it's natural for facial volume to diminish, leading to a more gaunt or tired appearance. Thankfully, Sculptra in Charleston, SC with Dr. Funcik offers an effective solution to restore a youthful look without the need for surgery. One of the most effective options is Sculptra, a long-lasting injectable that works gradually for a more natural transformation.


What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a facial rejuvenation injectable designed to restore youthful volume over the course of several months. Unlike dermal fillers that provide instant results, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, resulting in long-lasting, subtle improvements. It can be used on its own or combined with surgical procedures like facelifts or eyelid surgery for enhanced results.

The key ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, which acts as a collagen stimulator. Once injected, it encourages the body to produce collagen in areas that have lost volume, such as the temples, tear troughs, and cheeks. This natural collagen production helps create smoother, fuller skin. Sculptra is known for its safety and has an excellent satisfaction rate, even surpassing popular treatments like Botox for many patients.

Who is the Best Candidate for Sculptra?

Sculptra is ideal for those around the ages of 40 and up who are seeking a long-lasting solution to improve lost volume in their face. Sculptra helps bring a more healthy and youthful appearance to the face naturally, with the body’s own collagen. It works well on its own, but can also be combined with surgeries for optimal results.

What Can I Expect During My Visit?

Like all injectables, Sculptra is administered using a small needle. The substance is absorbed by the tissues in the dermal layer, which stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen and helps your skin to become tighter and more healthy-looking.

The discomfort with Sculptra is very minimal, and numbing agents can be provided. As with most treatments, patients can expect mild swelling for the first 24 hours following the visit, and can feel free to use a cold pack. Excessive sunlight should be avoided until the swelling has subsided.

It will take up to 9 months to see the full results, and they will last for up to two years.

Dear Beloved Patient,

I am writing to share that I will be transitioning toward retirement from my facial plastic surgery practice in the near future. This has been a thoughtful and gradual process, and many of you will begin to see this transition take place within the practice.

From performing more than 10,000 facial procedures to building lasting relationships with patients who have traveled from across the country and around the world, I am deeply thankful for the trust you have placed in me.

One of my highest priorities throughout this process has been ensuring that my patients continue to receive the exceptional care they deserve. With that in mind, I am pleased to share that Dr. Jason Ulm is now leading the practice. I have complete confidence in Dr. Ulm, whose commitment to excellence, innovation, and patient-centered care closely reflects the values that have guided my work throughout my career. Like me, he prioritizes natural results, thoughtful collaboration, and a dedication to each patient’s individual goals.

Over this transition period, I have been working closely with Dr. Ulm and the team to ensure continuity of care and a seamless experience for all patients. Whether you are considering surgery, maintaining your results, or exploring non-surgical treatments, you can feel confident that you are in capable and trusted hands.

No action is needed for your medical records to remain here at the office.

While stepping away from clinical practice is bittersweet, I am excited for the opportunity to spend more time with my growing family. My grandchildren live in Costa Rica, Kauai, and Greensboro, and I look forward to being a more active part of their lives and creating memories together beyond our Zoom calls.

I have greatly valued our patient-physician relationship and wish you continued health. If you have any questions or need assistance in the future, Dr. Jason Ulm and the team at Ulm Plastic Surgery would be happy to help. Please feel free to call the office at 843-884-3277.

Sincerely,

Thomas Funcik, MD
