Turn back the clock, boost volume, and erase lines and wrinkles with the help of Sculptra at SkinPerfected. This unique injectable can help you achieve the smoother skin and more youthful appearance you desire. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? Let’s take a closer look at Sculptra!
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler and cosmetic procedure that is primarily made up of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable ingredient that stimulates natural collagen production in the skin over time. The innovative treatment can address facial volume loss, reduce fine lines and wrinkles (including smile lines), and contour and define different areas of the face. But, unlike traditional fillers, which are made up of hyaluronic acid, the results of Sculptra appear gradually over time.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is a biostimulator. This means it works by stimulating collagen production over time. The poly-L-lactic acid in the formula kickstarts the growth of collagen. As the collagen increases in the weeks after your injections, the skin becomes stronger, smoother, and younger-looking, helping you achieve a perfect complexion.
Who is a Candidate for Sculptra?
Most patients looking to improve lost volume, lines and wrinkles, and lax skin are good candidates for Sculptra injections. On top of that, we recommend you be in good overall health, have realistic expectations of treatment, be a nonsmoker, and be willing to stick to all aftercare instructions and a good skincare regimen.
Sculptra Treatment Process
The Sculptra treatment process could not be simpler. We’ll start cleansing the treatment area and preparing the injections. From there, we’ll mark the injection sites and, using a very fine needle, inject the Sculptra formula under the skin. How many injections you require will depend on the results you’re looking for.
After treatment, you can go back to your normal routine immediately. That said, you will want to avoid touching or putting pressure on the injection sites. You will also likely have bruising and swelling, but those side effects will dissipate within a week. Additionally, because it takes time for the collagen to build up in the skin, you won’t see results right away. Results typically take 4-6 weeks to be noticeable, and your body will continue to grow collagen and thicken the skin and add volume for up to a year after treatment.
How Long Does Sculptra Last?
The results of Sculptra typically last up to two years. At this point, you will need to receive re-treatment to maintain your results. Our team at SkinPerfected can help you schedule follow-up appointments for Sculptra in Hinsdale.
