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.

SCULPTRA FILLER (SCULPTRA AESTHETIC)
AFTERCARE
After your treatment session, we recommend that all patients rest on the day of their procedure. We advise limited use of the treatment area for the next two days, but the movement is encouraged. Limited use helps the joint recover as the treatment is absorbed by the area’s surrounding tissues.
0 – 3 days post-procedure guidelines.
After your treatment, there is a chance you’ll experience some mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site. Discomfort is normal, and it is a sign that your body is healing as it adjusts to the treatment. It is best to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to help promote healing.
You mustn’t take ANY medications following your procedure unless specifically directed otherwise by a physician. NO medicine is a must because any drug can affect the healing process or other adverse effects.
Therefore, discontinue use of any of these medications post-procedure for best results:
3 – 14 days post-procedure guidelines.
At this point in your healing, you should gradually increase your daily activities. 3 to 14 days is also when you can begin exercises. Proper exercise is a vital part of long-term results, and we can help you determine which exercises are best suited for your needs before your procedure.
Ice can be applied 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes as needed for comfort
Anti-inflammatory medications (such as Tylenol) can be taken to help manage any residual pain at this time, take as directed
Continue to avoid alcoholic beverages, smoking, or excessive amounts of caffeine
3 – 4 weeks post-procedure guidelines.
We highly encourage you to begin physical therapy to aid in your long-term healing and continued recovery at this point in your healing. A follow-up appointment will be made for you to meet with our physician to review your healing process. You must keep this follow-up visit even if your recovery is going well. If there are any adjustments to your customized treatment plan, this is when our physician will be able to make those decisions.
