Sculptra is an injectable, poly-L-lactic acid, primarily used for facial rejuvenation and the treatment of wrinkles and facial volume loss. It works by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein thatl helps provide structure and support to the skin. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkle\ and loss of facial volume. By injecting Sculptra into specific areas of the face, it helps stimulate collagen production, resulting in a gradual increase in skin thickness and improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
How long does Sculptra last?
Unlike some other fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually over time. Multiple treatment sessions are usually required, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired outcome. The results of Sculptra injections can last up to two years or longer, depending on the individual.
What is the downtime?
Recovery time varies for each patient. You can resume most activities right away, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. The best results are seen several weeks after treatment.
