Sculptra

From the maker of Dysport, Sculptra is an FDA approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen. Collagen is the most common protein in the body to give your skin resiliency and fullness. Due to the natural aging process, and with certain medical conditions, collagen diminishes over time. Sculptra activates your body’s natural power to stimulate collagen production. This is typically used over the full face to combat collagen loss.

Sculptra FAQs

What is Sculptra made of?

Sculptra consists of Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA), a synthetic polymer which has been used in the human body since 1960 and is used as medical suture material.

How do I know if I need sculptra or hyaluronic acid fillers?

Sculptra is great for people who want a gradual natural result and have the timeline for it as it can take months before optimal results. Fillers on the other hand work immediately. Best treatment would be a combination of both, for short term and long term results.

How many vials will I need?

Depending on your age and volume loss. The estimated amount of vials can be calculated by dividing your age by 10.

How many sessions will I need?

Depending on how many vials needed, we recommend not to exceed 2 vials for each session. Follow up treatments are ideally spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

You will start to notice improvement 4-6 weeks after your session, best results are seen 6 months after first session. They can last upwards of 2-3 years, however you may need a touch up once a year.

Is this the same as taking collagen supplements or creams?

No. Collagen supplements when ingested break down and their effectiveness remains inconclusive. Collagen creams do not fully penetrate the dermis to provide long lasting results.
