Sculptra is a filler that can benefit both men and women who are looking for a long-lasting way to fill in moderate to deep wrinkles. Sculptra is administered via injection like Dermal Fillers. Comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra reduces skin laxity and softens and smooths the skin to create a more youthful appearance. Unlike other Dermal Fillers, Sculptra results can last up to several years. It stimulates your skin’s own collagen production to reinforce the skins inner structure to restore volume. Sculptra is safe and effective for most skin types and the injections typically take 30 minutes. On average, most patients are recommended to have 2-3 treatments administered over a few months for optimum results.
After receiving a Sculptra treatment, patients can expect some mild swelling and redness at the injection site which will subside in the hours following the procedure. There is no downtime for recovery following the treatment, but patients should avoid exercise for a few hours. Results can be seen gradually in the weeks after the Sculptra treatment as the skin appears more and more youthful and vibrant.
