Sculptra®
Hartford | Avon CT
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable filler designed to provide long lasting results by gradually building the skin's collagen to promote a younger yet natural looking appearance. Sculptra Aesthetic typically requires three to four injections spread out over a few months and can produce results lasting up to two years.
Instead of offering instant, yet more temporary, wrinkle reduction like some injectable fillers, Sculptra slowly builds up the skin's collagen for subtle yet noticeable changes that diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for longer periods of time.
Made from poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra rebuilds the collagen that has broken down from the aging process and helps correct various levels of facial wrinkles and folds in the skin. The biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material used in Sculptra has been in use for decades. This reinforced collagen structure underneath the skin can help skin develop a healthier, tighter appearance.
Sculptra also works to restore volume to sagging areas of the skin. This aids in wrinkle reduction and fills in hollow areas, such as the cheeks and temples, to help create a more youthful look. Sculptra's long-lasting results and subtle progression lets patients reverse signs of the aging process for natural looking results.
Other injectable treatment options include Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane, among others. Radiance Medspa can help patients decide which injectable treatment will work best for them based on the specific skin problem and desired results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates your skin's natural collagen production using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra® works gradually to restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles over time, offering a more natural-looking rejuvenation
Sculptra® is commonly used to address:
-
Cheek wrinkles
-
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
-
Marionette lines (lines framing the mouth)
-
Chin wrinkles
It's also effective for enhancing volume in areas like the temples and jawline
Most patients require 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. While some improvement may be noticeable within a month, optimal results typically develop gradually over several months and can last up to two years or more.
During the procedure, Sculptra® is injected into the targeted areas using fine needles. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Post-treatment, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. A crucial part of aftercare involves massaging the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to ensure even distribution.
There's minimal downtime associated with Sculptra®. Most patients return to their regular activities immediately, though it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment. Makeup can typically be applied a few hours after the procedure, provided there are no complications.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. In rare cases, small bumps may form under the skin. These are usually not visible and tend to resolve on their own. It's essential to have treatments administered by qualified professionals to minimize risks.
