Is the Sculptra Technique Right for You?
If you are interested in rejuvenating the look of your face but are not looking forward to having surgery, dermal fillers like Sculptra® Aesthetic may offer you the most effective alternative to correct your appearance.
Here's what you need to know about Sculptra® Aesthetic before you get it done:
What is Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a dermal filler that is used to add volume to the face and to treat the facial signs of ageing. It is a collagen stimulator that works to help your body build collagen. When you apply Sculptra® Aesthetic, it works to stimulate your natural collagen production which helps to rejuvenate your skin and restore a more youthful appearance.
How It Works
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a collagen stimulator that uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. It is a polymer that is biodegradable and is known for its ability to stimulate your body to produce collagen. As you add in new collagen, your body works to produce new skin cells and the breakdown of older skin cells. This helps to restore a more youthful appearance. As you add in new healthy collagen your body works to replace the older cells with newer cells. This will help to smooth out the once hollow areas of your face.
How Soon Can You See Results?
While results are not immediate, after the first treatment, you should notice that your face begins to fill out with new collagen. As the collagen is added to your skin, you will notice that your skin will become more firm and supple.
The treatment is done in a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced every 3-6 months. Once you have completed the recommended series of treatments, you will then see the full results of the Sculptra® Aesthetic.
Will the Injections Hurt?
Most people report that the Sculptra® Aesthetic injection is less painful than getting a tattoo.
The procedure itself is painless. However, the injections are typically done into the deep dermis. This means that the injection may cause a stinging sensation in the area of the dermis where the Sculptra® Aesthetic is being injected. The amount of stinging that you experience will vary from patient to patient.
What Are the Benefits of Sculptra®?
You will see an improvement in the appearance of your face immediately after your first treatment. However, the full treatment course will leave you with amazing results and a smoother and more youthful face. Here are some of the reasons to get it done:
Sculptra® Aesthetic offers a non-surgical option to treat the signs of ageing.
It is a procedure that is done in multiple sessions.
It will leave you with results that are long-lasting and will give you a more youthful face.
Sculptra® Aesthetic will not leave your face looking frozen or unnatural.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Sculptra® Aesthetic can cause bruising/swelling for a short time after the treatment. There is a low risk of developing nodules or granulomas, this is minimised by the procedure being carried out by a trained medical professional.
Some patients may experience a stinging sensation during the injection.
Conclusion
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a great option if you are looking to treat the signs of ageing without going under the knife. Like other dermal fillers, it takes multiple sessions to reach the desired results, but the entire process is complete in just a few months.
If you are looking to restore a more youthful appearance to your face without having to go under the knife, Sculptra® Aesthetic may be a great option for you.
