Sculptra – Long Lasting Treatment For Wrinkles and Fine Lines!
There are several products that can help with wrinkles, and they are usually called “fillers”. These products such as Botox, Voluma and others fill the spaces between the wrinkles, bringing back the smooth skin. However, these products don’t act on your body’s collagen production, they just fill the gaps and have a relatively short life-span. And here is where Sculptra can make a difference.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable made of a synthetic form of lactic acid (like the one your body produces during exercise) called Poly-L-Lactic Acid. This product stimulates the production of natural collagen by the body.
Because Sculptra stimulates the body’s production of collagen, you won’t see the results immediately. They can take from 4 to 6 months to appear but can last up to 3 years (which is 3 times more than most fillers). The effects might be even better if you put together some good skin care such as protecting your skin from the sun.
Where can it be used?
It can be injected safely for facial wrinkles and fine lines that appear as we age.
Are there any side effects?
You might experience some bruising, itching, redness and tenderness in the area where the injection was applied. However, most patients just go back to their normal routines as soon as they leave the doctor’s office.
Who can get this treatment?
Most people are middle-aged, but younger or older people can get this treatment also. It is very important to find a qualified professional to give you advice as well as perform the injections of Sculptra. The physicians in our practice are highly trained in the use of Sculptra and other cosmetic treatments to help you achieve your skin care goals.
