As we age, one of the most prominent and noticeable changes in our appearance is the gradual loss of volume in the face. In fact, after age 20, we produce 1 percent less collagen in our skin each year!
Fortunately, Sculptra offers a remarkable solution to restore volume, rejuvenate the face, and help individuals look as youthful and vibrant as they feel.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen- the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissues. This injectable is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic polymer that has been used medically for suture material.
The use of this substance creates a unique reaction where at the injection site, your body is prompted to generate new collagen, which then improves the appearance of that area with a natural-looking result. Sculptra is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body to help restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin.
Sculptra can significantly improve the signs of aging through stimulation of collagen production and is a versatile tool in the world of aesthetics. Sculptra can:
Sculptra addresses the underlying cause of facial aging, not just the symptoms. It can significantly improve the signs of aging through the stimulation of natural collagen production.
Choosing Sculptra offers several advantages:
Natural Results: Sculptra provides gradual, natural-looking results that evolve over time, avoiding an ”overfilled" appearance.
Longevity: Results can last up to two years or more, reducing the need for frequent maintenance treatments.
Stimulates Collagen: Sculptra stimulates your body's collagen production, enhancing skin texture and volume.
Versatility: It can treat various concerns, including volume loss, wrinkles, and skin texture, offering a comprehensive solution.
Minimal Downtime: Sculptra treatments typically involve minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.
Customized Treatment: Experienced providers can tailor Sculptra treatments to your unique aesthetic goals, ensuring a personalized approach.
Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments. Sculptra gets injected into the appropriate dermal plane where strands of collagen support your skin's structure. Over time, Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen.
A cold pack will help reduce any common swelling. Within the first 24 hours of treatment, apply a cloth-wrapped cold pack to the treated area for a few minutes at a time. Never apply ice directly to the skin.
Firmly massage the entire treatment area for five minutes five times a day for five days after treatment or as recommended by your provider. Small rice grain sized collections of collagen can occasionally be felt after 3-6 months, but will generally be reabsorbed and reduced.
After treatment, excessive sunlight and UV lamp exposure should be avoided until any initial swelling and redness go away. Your injector will provide guidelines on sunscreen protection and how to avoid excessive sunlight.
Great candidates for Sculptra are those seeking volume restoration due to aging or weight loss and those interested in a semi-permanent solution that gives natural, long-lasting results.
Sculptra is not suitable for clients looking for instant gratification or immediate results. Be sure to note any ongoing health concerns with your provider prior to treatment, if you have any certain autoimmune diseases, or are prone to certain types of scarring.
Sculptra can effectively treat volume loss in the cheeks and temples, reduce wrinkles (including smile lines and marionette lines), and improve overall skin texture.
No, Sculptra is not permanent. However, because Sculptra stimulates the natural production of collagen, it is considered a semi-permanent treatment. Results can last up to two years or longer.
Like any cosmetic treatment, Sculptra may have temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. Rare risks include nodule formation, infection, migration, and allergic reactions.
The frequency of follow-up Sculptra treatments varies depending on individual goals and responses. Typically, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Since no specific studies have been conducted with Sculptra for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is best to avoid treatment during that time.
Yes, Sculptra can be used in combination with other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser therapies. This approach, often referred to as a "liquid facelift" or "combination therapy," can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra is different from traditional dermal fillers because it works gradually by stimulating collagen production over time. This results in subtle, long-lasting improvements that can last up to two years. Traditional dermal fillers, in contrast, provide immediate but temporary results.
The cost of Sculptra treatments can vary widely based on factors such as the number of vials used, the area(s) treated, and your specific beauty goals. A personalized cost estimate can be provided at your consultation.
Sculptra treatments involve a series of injections. The procedure is relatively quick, and most patients report minimal discomfort. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on your specific goals. The general rule of thumb is one Sculptra via per decade of life. Typically, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Sculptra results are not immediate. Collagen production is gradual, and you'll start to notice improvements in skin texture and volume over several weeks to months.
