Sculptra


Sculptra is a new injectable used to fight wrinkles and sagging skin by stimulating the skin’s collagen production to help restore the cheeky plumpness of healthy skin. It is an alternative anti-aging treatment to injectable dermal fillers, skin creams, fat injections and implants. Collagen is an important structural protein found in connective tissue. Its function is to keep the skin firm, youthful and smooth. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles or sagging. Fat loss beneath the skin also results in drooping skin, hollowed cheeks, indentations and depressions in the face.

How Does It Work?

Sculptra is injected into the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. It contains PLLA, which acts as a collagen stimulator, helping to gradually restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds.

This results in a softer and more youthful appearance.You may notice immediate results, but it can take a few months to see the full results of your treatment.

The Doctor will assess you to determine the number of treatment sessions you need to achieve the best result. The average regimen consists of three injections spread out over three or four months.


Results

The Sculptra crystals stimulate collagen synthesis 4 – 6 weeks after treatment, and this rebuilds the skin's support structure. The result is more support and fullness.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have the answers you need...

  • How Many Treatments Will You Need?

    On average, a minimum of three treatment sessions are needed over a period of several months. The number of injection sessions and the length of time between sessions vary from person to person. Older patients, thinner patients, and patients who exercise extensively may require more product or more treatment sessions

  • Is Scuptra Safe And Does It Hurt?

    Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a molecule which is biodegradable, so it does not harm the body and is easily broken down and absorbed. We use a very effective topical numbing agent to numb the skin prior to the injections. The Sculptra powder is also reconstituted with water and lidocaine, so you will feel more numb as the injections are being done. Most people are surprised at how comfortable the treatments are.

  • What Should I Do Prior To The Treatment?

    You should avoid taking the following medications for at least 7 days prior to your injections to minimize bruising:


    Any type of anti-inflammatory medication – including Aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aleve, etc.

    Any type of Omega-3 supplements such as fish oil, flax seed oil, etc.

    Vit E

  • What To Do At Home?

    We will send you home with an icepack and recommend that you ice the treatment area off and on for the next 24-48 hours.

    Massage the areas injected for 5 minutes, 5 times daily, for 5 days. This is critical to prevent the formation of nodules – we want to keep the Sculptra particles dispersed in the tissue rather than allowing too much collagen to form in one spot.
