Explore the expertise of Dr. Mest through these featured publications, highlighting his innovative approaches and successful outcomes with Sculptra treatments.
Sculptra is a revolutionary injectable treatment designed to combat facial volume loss and reduce cellulite on other parts of the body. This unique treatment works subtly and gradually over time to stimulate your skin's natural collagen production, helping to restore lost facial volume and smooth out deep lines and wrinkles. Unlike immediate fillers, Sculptra provides a natural-looking enhancement, allowing for a more youthful appearance that emerges gradually and lasts longer.
Sculptra offers results that can last up to two years. This longevity means fewer treatments and sustained beauty.
Sculptra works by stimulating your body's own collagen production, helping to reinforce the skin's inner structure.
Sculptra injections are minimally invasive, offering an effective anti-aging solution without the need for surgical procedures.
Sculptra restores volume while also improving the overall texture and tightening of the skin, resulting in a youthful complexion.

Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care and state-of-the-art treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Don't wait any longer to start your journey to a rejuvenated appearance.
Sculptra is best suited for individuals who want to enhance their facial volume without immediate surgical interventions. It is ideal for treating shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, and it is suitable for those who prefer a gradual improvement in their skin’s appearance.
During the treatment, Sculptra is injected into the target area using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and may require multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
As with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects, which may include swelling, redness, pain at the injection site, bruising, bleeding, and less commonly, lumps or bumps under the skin. These side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own.
The results of Sculptra are long-lasting but not permanent. You can expect the effects to last up to two years. Some patients may require touch-up treatments to maintain their desired results, depending on how their body metabolizes the product.

Dr. Doug Mest and the amazing staff at Pier Medical always make me feel like a beauty queen! No one is better with a needle than Dr. Mest, fast with a light accurate touch you barely feel any sting. Bruising can occur with some injections but he never leaves a mark on me.

Dr Mest is friendly and funny and most importantly, he really knows what he’s doing - an artist and a scientist. He’s always taken the time to answer my questions, and I ask a lot of questions. The people here are an amazing team, and it’s obvious that they care.
