What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid, a collagen stimulator that can effectively boost natural volume under the skin with an injection process. Sculptra accomplishes two goals— firstly, it provides subtle volume as the product fills in wrinkles and folds in the face. Secondly, the product is metabolized over time, leaving behind naturally-generated collagen in its place. The result is smooth skin that is rejuvenated from within.
Sculptra Candidates
The best candidates for Sculptra are people who have significant signs of aging that results in sagging skin and folds in the face. During a consultation, Dr. Diktaban can determine whether Sculptra is your best option for your goals. In some cases, you may be better suited for a surgical procedure if your signs of aging are severe. You’ll also discuss your medical history and goals for Sculptra treatment to ensure a safe and effective treatment process.
What Happens During Sculptra Treatment?
Sculptra can be administered right in our state-of-the-art office. Because everyone has a different level of tolerance, we can supply a topical numbing cream. Once you’re comfortable, the product is carefully injected under the skin in areas where you have signs of aging. This requires multiple injections in a grid pattern to ensure the product is fully dispersed and can generate collagen in the ideal areas. Overall, this process can take less than thirty minutes, after which you can return home.
Results and Recovery
It’s common to experience some redness and minor swelling in the days following treatment, but this usually subsides quickly. Any bruising can last for around one week but can easily be concealed with cosmetics. You’ll see subtle improvement after your injection session, but your results will continue to emerge in the months afterward as Sculptra generates new collagen for a rejuvenated and youthful look. Because of this unique process, Sculptra results can last for one to two years, after which you can return for re-treatment.
