As we age, our bodies start producing less scaffolding for our skin. Referred to as Collagen, this is the vital ingredient for holding up our skin to prevent loss of volume or elasticity.
Sculptra formulated with Poly-L-lactic acid is a great FDA approved product to reverse the years and erase skin damage gradually in typically three separate sessions, which usually take 30 to 60 minutes each. Incredibly, results are at their pinnacle after several months, with results lasting up to 24 months!
Results are very subtle so it is essential to have more than one treatment to see any results.
Research!!
When you research before and after images of women who have had Sculptra treatment to help correct their wrinkles and nasolabial folds, you will notice their complexion appearing less tired and more uplifted, reflecting a state of boosted energy. The face appears fuller and results are hugely dependent on the expertise of the medical professional administering it as it requires creativity on their behalf to be able to sculpt the Poly-L-lactic acid into the key target areas of the face. Massaging is very important; the injector will massage to ensure no lumps.
Advice is to research practitioners who specialise in administering treatments of Sculptra, as they are the ones who will have the most experience of best results.
If possible, find out if you can meet and talk to their patients to see results and hear about the actual treatment session.
Sculptra is globally renowned for subtle, gradual results with literally no downtime. A brilliant cost-effective solution if you want to slowly pay in installments of three treatments, rather than one expensive treatment.
Sculptra doesn’t actually contain Hyaluronic Acid but is still a dermal filler. It is probably the only filler that doesn’t contain HA that Doctors will recommend as a safe alternative to all the fillers containing Hyaluronic Acid.
To minimise side effects such as bruising it’s worthwhile avoiding blood thinning products such as aspirin, red wine. The less your blood is thinned prior to treatment, the less chances of bruising.
