Sculptra

How does it Work?

Sculptra is a new injectable used to fight wrinkles and sagging skin by stimulating the skin's collagen production to help restore the cheeky plumpness of healthy skin.

It does this by stimulating the skin’s collagen production to help restore the cheeky plumpness of healthy skin. It is an alternative anti-aging treatment to injectable dermal fillers, skin creams, fat injections and implants. Collagen is an important structural protein found in connective tissue. Its function is to keep the skin firm, youthful and smooth. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles or sagging. Fat loss beneath the skin also results in drooping skin, hollowed cheeks, indentations and depressions in the face.

Consultation

Cat will perform a thorough consultation and examination to assess treatment suitability. Discussing everything from your medical history right through to your expectations.

What to Expect

Poly-L-lactic acid micro-particles form the key component of Sculptra. This natural product is then mixed with 2 ml 1% Lidocaine and 6 ml of sterile water 24 hours prior to treatment. No skin testing is not required before hand as the product is biocompatible. The procedure itself takes around 30 minutes to perform. Patients tend to describe the process as “uncomfortable” rather than painful, however, we use a topical anaesthetic cream to minimise any discomfort. The Sculptra product is injected beneath into the adipose tissue of the face, into the skin’s dermis.

Aftercare & Treatment FAQ's

Avoid any heat inducing activities for 24 hours such as strenuous exercise, spas, saunas and hot showers as it increases the likelihood of bruising.

Am I Suitable

Sculptra is a treatment option for men and women of different ages, who wish to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, deep wrinkles, deep folds around the mouth and nose, facial asymmetry, facial scars, deep acne scars and loose skin.

Common Side Effects

Immediate side effects may include injection-related events at the site of injection, such as minimum redness, slight tenderness or discomfort, some bruising and rarely swelling. All of these immediate side effects usually last only five- seven days.
