Sculptra
Sculptra® provides longer lasting results than the other fillers on the market. Fillers such as Juvaderm etc last approx 9 months but Sculptra® can last up to 2-3 years.
The technology behind Sculptra® is more advanced than other traditional fillers and it requires preparation a week in advance of treatment by a practioner. Results with Sculptra® are also much more natural looking. Sculptra® is a state-of-the-art treatment. However, as other fillers need to be repeated 2-3 times a year, Sculptra® actually turns out to be less expensive in the long run.
Safe and Subtle
The Sculptra treatment allows you to keep your beauty treatment a secret as there is no sudden change in your appearance after treatment; rather a gradual enhancement takes place as the body produces collagen over time. Sculptra® does not provide any volume on its own; instead it stimulates the body to produce new collagen at the site of injection thus gradually and subtly reducing lines, wrinkles and folds to restore a fuller, more youthful appearance.
The main ingredient of Sculptra® has been successfully used in surgical operations for over 25 years and was specially developed to help repair facial scars and contour defects. Sculptra® is safe, long lasting, biodegradable and biocompatible, is not made from any human or animal source and animals were not used in it's testing.
Sculptra® is effective for:
- Adding volume, enhancing and redefining cheekbones
- Filling the concavity of the temples
- Reducing dark circles and disguising under-eye bags
- Softening deep smile lines
- Improving the definition of chin and jaw line
- Acne scarring
Procedure
Anaesthetic numbing cream is applied and the number of injections required and their placement depends on age and the amount of volume to be restored. Typically 3-5 sessions at 6-8 weeks interval may be required.
After treatment you will be given special aftercare instructions. For the best effect it is important to massage the treatment area twice a day for one month.
Are there side effects?
Any side effects generally resolve in 2-6 days. As with all other injections there can be temporary swelling, tenderness and redness at the site of the injections. Most side effects can be greatly reduced if you follow your aftercare properly which includes 2 weeks of massage. It's advisable to schedule your treatments at least a week or two from major events, parties and social gatherings.
