Restore Volume & Collagen With Sculptra
Is Sculptra Worth All The Hype?
What is Sculptra Exactly?
Sculptra® is not your typical dermal filler. It's a unique poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that goes beyond simply filling lines and wrinkles. Instead, it stimulates your body's natural production of collagen, leading to gradual volume restoration and wrinkle reduction from within.
Imagine your aging skin as a dried up sponge. When injected with Sculptra, it integrates and absorbs within the tissue to add volume and collagen. This leads to a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. Read on to explore more details.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra® contains microparticles of PLLA, which are biocompatible and gradually absorbed by your body. As they dissolve, they stimulate the production of your own collagen, a protein that provides structure and support to your skin. This natural collagen growth leads to visible improvement that can last up to 2-3 years.
Benefits of Sculptra That Turn Back Time
- Natural-looking results: Sculptra® encourages your body to produce its own collagen, leading to subtle and natural-looking improvements.
- Long-lasting effects: Unlike other fillers, Sculptra® results can last up to 2-3 years, offering a cost-effective solution.
- Addresses deep wrinkles and volume loss: Sculptra® effectively targets deep wrinkles and folds, offering a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Side Effects of Sculptra
Sculptra is very safe when injected by a trained, licensed provider. The key to minimizing lumps is to remember 5/5/5, discussed later. As with any medical procedure, Sculptra® can cause temporary side effects, such as:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Redness
These side effects typically subside within a few days. Rare complications can occur, so it's crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss the risks and benefits of Sculptra® in detail.
Are you a good candidate for Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is generally suitable for individuals with moderate to severe wrinkles and volume loss who are seeking a natural-looking, long-lasting correction. It's important to consult with a doctor to determine if you're a good candidate for Sculptra® treatment.
Sculptra® vs. Other Fillers:
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that offer immediate volume through injection, Sculptra® focuses on stimulating your own collagen production for long-term results. While hyaluronic acid fillers require more frequent touch-ups, Sculptra® provides lasting improvement with fewer treatments.
Results can be seen in 1-3 months which means this treatment is aligns with long term planning focused around prevention abd correction.
Cost of Sculptra®:
The cost of Sculptra® treatment varies depending on the amount of product used and the experience of the healthcare professional. To determine your goals and develop a treatment plan book a complimentary virtual consult to learn more.
