subject: Exciting Treatment Enhancements for your Face and Feet with Sculptra [print this page]
NEW YORK, -- Most women will sacrifice comfort for fashion, especially when it comes to wearing a gorgeous pair of high heels that 'make' an outfit. Unfortunately, over time, the fat pad at the ball of the foot thins and shifts so bones are not as well padded. Combine these changes with a heel height over two inches and it's a recipe for foot pain. "Now there is an alternative to forsaking your favorite pair of sky high Louboutins," states Dr. Archer. "The same dermal filler that is used in the face to fill deep lines and make us look younger can also make our feet feel younger. Sculptra is placed where fat has been lost under the bones in the balls of the feet thereby restoring padding and allowing women to wear their high heels again. The great advantage of using Sculptra over other dermal fillers is that it causes the skin to thicken by building collagen. Its effects are longer lasting, usually up to one year."
Sculptra, or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is an FDA approved injectable dermal filler used by many cosmetic surgeons, such as Dr. Amiya Prasad on Manhattan's upper-east-side. "As we get older we lose volume in the face resulting in hollowing," states Dr. Prasad. "We routinely use Sculptra to create a uniform restoration of lost facial volume in the temples, the cheeks and also to accentuate the cheek bones. Dr. Archer is a Doctor of Podiatry Medicine and an Associate of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (AACFAS)
TORONTO - Dr. Marc DuPr, Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon of Visage Clinic has seen a growing number of patients attending his clinic for facial volume fillers, as well as to add volume to the balls of their feet to enable them to wear high heels without pain. "Fillers over the balls of the feet have allowed my patients to continue to enjoy pain-free and elegantly wear their Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin trendy shoes!" Dr. Marc DuPr, is certified as a Plastic Surgeon by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. www.visageclinic.com
"Sculptra is an important part of my fillers' practice" states Dr. DuPr; "I love this product, particularly for the 'crpy' skin that some thin patients have in their lower cheek areas. It requires 3 treatments but the end-result is unobtainable with the other fillers for that purpose!"
Dr. Marc DuPr is also a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery as well as the Canadian and Ontario Society of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Archer is currently investigating the efficacy and use of laser in the treatment of warts and fungus, and is developing her own product line to be available early next year. For more information please visit
