What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a revolutionary injectable treatment that helps restore volume to your face and smooth out wrinkles. Think of it as a non-surgical facelift in a syringe. It’s a fantastic option if you’re looking to turn back the clock on aging without going under the knife. Here’s the lowdown!
How it works:
Sculptra is made from a poly-L-lactic acid (try saying that 10 times fast), a biocompatible substance that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production. Collagen is the key protein that keeps your skin looking plump, youthful, and bouncy. As we age, we loose collagen, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Sculptra helps rebuild that lost collagen, giving your face a natural, refreshed appearance.
Benefits:
Youthful Glow: Say goodbye to hollow cheeks and fine lines, and hello to plump smooth skin.
Long-lasting Results: Results can last up to 2 years, so it’s like a facial tune-up that keeps on giving.
Subtle & Natural: No one will know you’ve had work done- they’ll just think you’re getting plenty of sleep and drinking enough water!
Contraindications:
Pregnant or breastfeeding? sorry, this one’s not for you.
Active skin infections? Better wait until that skin is healed and in tip top shape.
Severe scarring or keloids? This may not be the right option for you.
Downtime:
Minimal: there may be slight swelling or chance for minimal bruising.
You can resume most of your activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding intense exercise for the first 24-48 hours.
Patience is key: Results take a few weeks to appear, and full results can take a few months. Sculptra is usually a series treatment, with most people requiring 2-3 treatments.
