SCULPTRA FILLER

WHAT IS SCULPTRA FILLER (SCULPTRA AESTHETIC)?

Sculptra^® Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) is indicated in people with healthy immune systems as a single regimen to correct shallow to profound nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles deep dermal grid pattern (cross-hatch) injection technique is appropriate.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.

Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body used to form a framework to support cells and tissue—for results that can last more than two years.

As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra Aesthetic helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.

Sculptra Aesthetic works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra Aesthetic PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production.

The specialist injects treatment within the deep dermis, where strands of collagen support your skin’s structure. Over time, Sculptra Aesthetic helps the body reproduce lost collagen. The number of injections appointments and injections per appointment varies from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a few months.

Sculptra Aesthetic should not be used by people who are allergic to any product ingredient or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. Safety has not been established in patients who are pregnant, lactating, breastfeeding, or under 18 years of age.

WHAT ARE THE TOP SEVEN USES FOR SCULPTRA FILLER (SCULPTRA AESTHETIC)?

● Corrects Unwanted Facial Lines And Wrinkles

One of the most apparent signs of aging is wrinkles and fine lines. These tend to first appear around the mouth and chin. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that helps to repair the underlying structure of the skin. Sculptra adds fullness to the face and diminishes the appearance of any wrinkles and fine lines. Sculptra is most commonly injected to reduce the appearance of smile lines, marionette lines, and wrinkles around the chin.

● Softens Bony Areas Of The Face

As skin ages, it becomes much thinner. The thinness makes boney areas of your face, such as your cheekbones, more noticeable with age. Sculptra helps to soften the appearance of such features. The dermal fillers add more fullness to these face areas, making them appear softer and less prominent. Sculptra can also help your skin to become thicker at the treatment sites. As the collagen builds in these areas, the skin becomes firmer and more youthful.

● Plumps Shallow Areas Of The Face

Recessed areas of the face can give an older appearance. An often-overlooked region that ages the face is the temples. As you age, the temples lose fat and can become very shallow. A natural, subtle, but impactful difference is often seen when the volume is added to such areas. Sculptra allows you to add more fullness without the risk of an unnatural “over-filled” look that other procedures may result in. The results of Sculptra are subtle and natural-looking because it is designed for your body to replace lost collagen gradually.

● Helps Your Body To Produce More Collagen

Sculptra works by injecting a synthetic material, poly-L-Lactic acid (PLLA), into the deep dermis. This material is often seen in dissolvable sutures because it is easily broken down in the body, so no residual material is left at the injection site. PLLA stimulates the body’s natural process for creating collagen in the dermis. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is responsible for helping to support the structure of the skin.

Functions of hyaluronic acid and elastin are also supported by collagen. Elastin helps skin maintain its shape, and hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated. With continued injections, your body will replace the lost collagen naturally. Collagen production begins to slow down in your late twenties, and by the age of forty, many individuals have lost twenty percent of their natural collagen.

Sculptra helps to stimulate this process again. Although some people believe using creams or nutritional supplements containing collagen is enough to help restore their collagen production, these sources generally do not make a noticeable difference in the skin’s appearance.

● Gradual Process

Unlike other dermal injections like Juvederm, Sculptra is not an overnight fix. They smooth wrinkles by pushing up the area in between the dermis and the wrinkles. Because your body is gradually producing more collagen, Sculptra is a slower process. Final results do not happen for a few weeks, and often patients need multiple injections after the initial treatment to achieve ideal results.

This slower process does come with various benefits, though. It is very appealing to many people because it is less drastic and therefore less noticeable that the patient has had any work done. A gradual, multiple injection process allows the patient not to be shocked by any results and does not have to give away any signs of having work done. It also gives the patient the option of how much volume they want in each area without making a quick, rash decision.

● Natural Results

The results of Sculptra usually look much more natural when compared to dermal fillers. This is because of the ongoing process of collagen stimulation that the injection of Sculptra produces. It causes a softer fullness, which looks more natural and less over-filled.

The slow reveal of results also gives you the option of how much Sculptra Aesthetic you and your doctor are comfortable injecting. The gradual process aids in the subtle and natural results achieved by this procedure.

● Long-Lasting Results

Sculptra Aesthetic has longer-lasting results when compared to other injectable treatments. Unlike most hyaluronic acid treatments that only last a few months, Sculptra can last up to two years. Sculptra usually requires three injections throughout three to four months, and then these results will last for up to two years. 

Sculptra Aesthetic treatments last longer because it stimulates your cells to produce more collagen. Longer lasting is great even if you do not decide to repeat the procedure because you will always be “ahead of the game” when it comes to aging.
