What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulator which is skillfully administered through subdermal injections that can help increase collagen production and stimulate cell growth, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. It is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that is naturally found in the body.
How does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra works by stimulating the production of collagen, which is a natural protein that gives your skin its elasticity, thickness, and firmness. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Sculptra can help restore collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
The number of treatments required for optimal results with Sculptra can vary, typically ranging from 2 to 3 sessions, typically spaced out between 6 weeks. These multiple treatments ensure comprehensive collagen stimulation, leading to the complete desired outcome.
Procedure
The Sculptra procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. The procedure involves injecting Sculptra into the treatment area using a fine needle. The number of injections will vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the desired results.
Recovery
There is little to no downtime after the Sculptra procedure. However, it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days.
How Long Sculptra Results Last
The results of Sculptra are not immediate, as it takes time for the body to produce collagen. However, patients typically start to see results after the second or third treatment, which are usually spaced four to six weeks apart. The results of Sculptra can last up to two years, making it a long-lasting solution for facial rejuvenation.
