BENEFITS OF Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra aesthetic is a secret weapon in the aesthetic industry. The main ingredient, Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), is injected into areas of the face, neck and body to increase the body’s own collagen production over time. Collagen is responsible for holding the structure and firmness of our skin and collagen production decreases as we get older.

This is a great treatment for areas in the face where fillers would cause excessive unwanted fullness, such as the smile lines, nasolabial folds and temples. This treatment results in a beautiful, natural improvement in both the skin quality and texture over time. This treatment usually takes about 30 minutes and we recommend one vial per decade of life injected over the course of 3-4 treatments approximately 4-6 weeks apart. Results last approximately 2 years and maintenance is minimal usually requiring just 1-3 vials a year.

WHAT TO EXPECT

HOW IT WORKS

  • Patients first meet with the provider and complete a comprehensive evaluation that addresses the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals.
  • After a full facial assessment and educating the patient on the different treatment options, a plan is recommended.
  • Depending on the patients’ goals, Sculptra Aesthetic can be used alone or mixed with platelet rich fibrin for even more regeneration of the skin.
  • For optimal results, usually three treatments are required every 6-8 weeks then every six months for maintenance.
  • After the injections, the area is massaged for 5 minutes in the office then the area should be massaged at home by the patient 5 times a day for 5 days to evenly distribute the medication and prevent any areas of excess collagen growth.
  • There is little to no down time with the procedure with the exception of no exercise the day of the procedure.
  • Immediately after the injections, it is normal to experience a temporary increase in volume that usually dissipates after 1 to 2 weeks. Results are usually 3-6 months after the treatment and last upwards of 2 years.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Sculptra is one of our favorite aesthetic treatments because it delivers powerful results gradually over time. It is a great way to rejuvenate the skin and fill natural hollows that occur in the face as we age. It promotes your body’s own natural collagen and fibrin production to improve the quality, texture and turgor of the skin. The results are more natural appearing and longer lasting that hyaluronic acid fillers and are a great way to look like a younger, more youthful version of yourself. It provides results that are gradual, as opposed to traditional fillers which have an immediate result. Your friends and family will know you look better, but since the results have a subtle onset, it will not appear artificial in any way.
