SCULPTRA
Sculptra is a cosmetic procedure aimed at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin health. It is an injectable Poly-L-Lactic acid that works to restore poor skin elastin and declining collagen, helping to improve fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is performed in around 40 minutes and is aimed at addressing full areas of the face. It helps revitalize dull, dry skin and smooth out lines and wrinkles, restoring a smooth, healthy glow to the skin. Many patients require 1-2 sessions of Sculptra to see maximum results, which can last up to two years or more. Sculptra is aimed at achieving skin health and minimizing fine lines by increasing collagen growth, whereas dermal fillers help contour and restore lost facial volume. We recommend a combination treatment of both Sculptra and dermal fillers if substantial volume is lost.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculpra is a non-invasive injectable treatment that restores lost volume and improves skin laxity for patients concerned with jowling, crepey skin and poor skin health. Sculptra is made of Poly-L-acid acid and is a temporary treatment that lasts up to two years. Sculptra is classified as a “bio- stimulator” for its collagen producing properties which help repair skin elasticity as well as restoring lost volume. Sculptra is injected into the face using a cannula for client comfort.
HOW DOES SCULPTRA WORK?
Sculptra injections target facial wrinkles with precision, thanks to its active ingredient PLLA, a collagen stimulator. Through this process, gradual restoration of facial volume occurs, resulting in a refined and rejuvenated appearance. Your skin transforms, regaining its natural fullness and vitality. Sculptra continues to improve collage production up to three years.
