As you age, your skin loses volume, becomes thin, and develops lines and wrinkles. This process is inevitable and can make you feel older than you are. Fortunately, Sculptra is an effective cosmetic injection that can help reverse the visible signs of aging. After treatment, you can enjoy a revitalized and youthful appearance.
Collagen supports the strength and health of the skin, hair, and nails and maintains skin’s youthfulness as well as fullness. Sadly, as we grow older, collagen production in our body dwindles down. When this happens, our skin gets thinner and loses elasticity which results in symptoms of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, Sculptra injections can help combat the loss of collagen.
Sculptra is an injection used for facial rejuvenation. It is effective in treating fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss by stimulating collagen production. Sculptra was first approved by the FDA in 2004 to treat lipoatrophy, a condition caused by the loss of fat beneath the skin due to certain medications or HIV/AIDS. The treatment worked so effectively that it was eventually approved to correct wrinkles and folds in 2012 with the use of PLLA.
Dermal fillers often have hyaluronic acid, which fills wrinkles and restores facial volume. Sculptra is different because it stimulates the body's natural filler material, leading to more natural-looking results. However, the results of Sculptra take longer to emerge, unlike HA fillers that produce immediate results.
Sculptra may result in some side effects, including redness, swelling, tenderness, numbness, and bruising around the injection sites. These side effects are generally short-term and will usually go away in a few days.
Sculptra results will appear gradually over several weeks as your body produces new collagen fibers. Although it may take some time, the results are worth waiting for as they are natural and truly dramatic!
To achieve the best anti-aging results, it is recommended that patients receive 3 to 4 Sculptra sessions that are spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Improvement can be seen after each session.
The Sculptra treatment involves a simple process of cleansing your facial skin, applying a numbing gel, and then injecting the required units of Sculptra into the treatment areas. This procedure typically takes about 15 minutes to complete and will be carried out by a medical provider.
Sculptra does not require any downtime. You can return to your regular routine right away, but it is recommended to avoid intense activities for a few days.
Sculptra results last 2 to 5 years, depending on the treatment areas, the number of units, and your lifestyle.
