Each injection of Sculptra Aesthetic works to gradually improve the overall appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Because the process is gradual, the effects of Sculptra are achieved by completing the full course of treatment as recommended by your physician. Sculptra is injected in the deep dermis in a series of treatments administered by a Sculptra-trained physician. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months.
Sculptra works gradually in a series of treatments for subtle, natural-looking results. It begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra helps to replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of shallow or deep facial wrinkles and folds. Sculptra is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles and folds. This can provide a refined, more youthful-looking appearance that can last more than two years.
Sculptra is made of a synthetic, biocompatible material known as poly-L-lactic acid.
Some patients experience tenderness, swelling and redness at the injection sites for two to seven days. Your final results will gradually become visible in the weeks following your treatment. For many patients, injections are repeated multiple times over the course of a few months to accomplish the desired results.
If you are an adult who wants to reduce the signs of aging and are in good health, you may be a good candidate for this treatment.
Visible signs of aging such as hollow cheeks and fine lines are reduced with Sculptra injections. This treatment can also be beneficial to patients who have lost volume in their face due to significant weight loss.
Sculptra can last for up to two years after the first session of injections. Following a simple aftercare routine that includes short facial massages will also help you get the most out of Sculptra treatment.
