What is all the hype around the injectable treatment called Sculptra? We’ve gotta share all the details because this treatment does wonders for aging skin. As we age, we start to lose collagen and elastin which results in wrinkles. Collagen is like the glue that keeps everything together and without it, our skin becomes droopy and less hydrated. So how do we keep collagen from disappearing on us? Enter Sculptra. Continue reading for what is Sculptra, benefits of Sculptra, and who is a good candidate for Sculptra.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra is a unique dermal filler that is made up of poly-L-lactic acid. It’s used to soften wrinkles, restore volume, and contour your facial structure. The special thing about this type of filler is that it does more than add volume or smooth wrinkles. It stimulates collagen production… YES, you read that right. Sculptra develops gradually and the increase of collagen assists the skin in a natural renewal. The fantastic part is that this dermal filler doesn’t focus on instant volume, it focuses on gradual results which means the filler lasts longer than any other type of filler out there.
Sculptra is FDA approved and can improve deeper wrinkles, marionette lines, sunken cheeks, hollow temples, sagging jawlines, necklines, chin wrinkles, and more. Basically, any area where there is a loss of volume. We like to look at Sculptra as the seed – when planted into the skin it regrows the collagen that has been lost and there is no other product out there that works in the way Sculptra does. And the best part is that you can receive this unique treatment at your favorite Images Med Spa location!
BENEFITS OF SCULPTRA
- The results can last up to 2-3 years whereas regular dermal fillers last from 6-9 months.
- The results are gradual meaning as the collagen begins to increase over time the skin thickens resulting in gradual fullness, and smoother-looking wrinkles and folds.
- Results are more natural, so nobody will know you had a treatment done.
- There is little to no downtime.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR SCULPTRA?
We recommend Sculptra for adults looking to improve their appearance over time. It’s important to understand that this type of dermal filler does not give you immediate gratification. It’s for the patient who is looking for overall aging rejuvenation. We understand that dermal fillers are not for everyone because they don’t want to look unnatural. While our #1 goal is to achieve the look you desire, this dermal filler is not one you need to worry about in regards to looking like you had any treatment done. Trust us, the results are well worth the wait.
