If you have been dealing with wrinkles, read on to learn more about this dermal filler treatment and how it can help.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a type of injection that is made of poly-L-lactic acid. This specific collagen stimulator absorbs your body exceptionally well within a few days after treatment. Sculptra encourages your cells to increase their collagen production, which improves your skin’s appearance and helps create a smooth and more youthful appearance.
Where Is Sculptra Injected?
Sculptra can be injected into nearly any area of your body where you have wrinkles and lines that you want to smooth. For most patients, common injection areas include:
- Face
- Hips
- Buttocks
Who Can Benefit From This Treatment?
Sculptra is a treatment that can help most individuals struggling with the appearance of their skin by increasing the amount of collagen that is produced. Patients who benefit most from this treatment are those who want to:
- Soften or redefine contouring
- Treat fat loss that was caused by HIV
- Elevate any recessed areas on the skin
- Reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles
How Long Does It Last?
Results that patients experience following a dermal filler treatment like Sculptra can last over two years. Sculptra is not considered a permanent solution, however, so you may need multiple injections every few years to continue seeing results.
Is Sculptra Safe?
This U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment is incredibly safe when performed in a safe environment by a trained professional. Your healthcare provider will discuss any risk factors that you may have based on your current health conditions. However, if you are allergic to any of the filler’s components or you are sensitive to them, you may not receive the total benefits that this treatment provides.
