What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a cosmetic filler that restores lost facial volume. It contains poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA, a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production.
It works differently than Other Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
At PrimeAesthetica Center we try to provide a variety of options for our clients.
For those looking for a more youthful look, it can treat deep wrinkles, lines, and creases and is an excellent treatment for skin remodeling.
Furthermore, this treatment is ideal for people who want to look their best at any age, whether in their 30s or 60s.
In addition, Sculptra is an excellent solution for a minimally invasive buttock lift, as it provides continuous results without downtime. Sculptra has been well-established as it has been used safely worldwide for more than ten (10) years.
Sculptra in Action
When injected into the skin, Sculptra helps diminish facial wrinkles. PLLA, an agent of collagen stimulation, helps restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds gradually. This event makes the skin softer and appears to be more youthful. Immediate results are noticeable immediately, but you might need a few months before seeing the full effects of your Sculptra treatment.
Dr Kashlan will work with you and devise a plan after determining the number of treatment sessions required to achieve the optimal result. On average, Sculptra regimens consist of three (3) injections spread out over three (3) or four (4) months.
Why Sculptra
Sculptra offers many benefits resulting from increased collagen production, like the improved appearance of sagging skin, plumping of hollowing areas, and a more youthful appearance overall.
Sculptra can be injected or needled into the skin. Injections will be more targeted to specific areas — think temples, cheeks, or around the mouth — where microneedling will add an all-over, subtle rejuvenation to the skin. Another benefit to Sculptra treatments is that there is little to no downtime!
Treatment Areas for Sculptra
As a skin treatment used in reducing facial folds, fine lines, and wrinkles, Sculptra has also been clinically approved to treat smile lines or those unwanted lines created when we smile. In addition, this procedure also treats other types of wrinkles found around the nose and mouth, as well as chin wrinkles. Sculptra has many off label uses, including:
correction of unwanted cellulite
correction of wrinkles in the areas of the chest, elbows, and knees
buttock augmentation or non-surgical butt lift
Additionally, Sculptra has become famous for those who want to bulk up their appearance. Furthermore, it is also being used in creating a more defined look, that of having extra muscle mass on the:
biceps
glutes
pectorals
thighs
triceps
But one thing to remember is that Sculptra is not for use on the eyes or the lips.
What to Expect After Your Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra is an excellent alternative for facial sculpting because results appear gradually over time, so there is no “shock” to your system or how you look. It is an excellent long-term, low-maintenance treatment to help you maintain your youthful appearance. It is available in different volumes so you can choose according to your needs. For example, select Sculptra with low volume if you have a small face but want fuller cheeks. If your face is large and you want to make it look smaller, you can choose this treatment with a high volume.
Most patients can return to their normal activities after their Sculptra injections. Usual side effects, such as swelling and bruising, are mild and subside within a few days. Doing the following will help speed up your recovery and require no downtime:
Apply ice packs to the treated area for a few minutes within the first 24 hours.
After treatment, massage the area for five days for five (5) minutes at a time, five times (5x) a day.
Avoid exposure to too much sunlight or tanning beds until any redness and swelling have resolved.
A professional consultation is the best way to determine whether Sculptra will work for you and if it will give you the kind of outcome you’re hoping for.
