Sculptra operates on a biostimulatory principle, wherein PLLA micro-particles are strategically injected beneath the skin to induce collagen synthesis. This process triggers a gradual improvement in skin texture and volume, resulting in a natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances overall facial aesthetics.
Sculptra is particularly effective in addressing large volume loss and wrinkles across various facial areas. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra offers a broader treatment approach, making it ideal for areas where filler may yield unnatural results, such as the preauricular cheek, nasolabial folds, and temples.
By enhancing collagen and elastin production, Sculptra improves skin elasticity and firmness, restoring the skin's youthful "snap back."
Sculptra results may take 4-6 weeks to manifest but patients can expect subtle yet significant improvements in skin volume and texture. Repeat treatments may be necessary for optimal results, with maintenance doses tailored to individual needs. Mild swelling and bruising may occur post-injection, typically resolving within a few days. Aftercare involves gentle massage of the treated area and minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume regular activities shortly after treatment.
While serious complications with Sculptra are rare, mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, and redness may occur. Proper consultation with a trained professional like the board-certified professionals at Skin CoLAB is essential to discuss treatment goals and assess individual suitability.
