Sculptra®: The Long-Lasting Benefits of Sculptra® for Gradual Volume Restoration
Learn about Sculptra®, a unique biostimulatory injectable treatment that goes beyond traditional fillers by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Understand the science behind poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and how it gradually restores facial volume, softens wrinkles, and enhances contours for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Introduction: The Long-Lasting Benefits of Sculptra®
As we get older, collagen degradation will result in volume loss, wrinkles, and an overall older look. Sculptra treatment effectively goes deep in the skin to stimulate your body’s collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide bulk immediately, Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injection that restores facial volume gradually and subtly over time, producing a long-lasting result that is natural in appearance
The Science Behind Sculptra®
Sculptra® consists of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic substance considered to be biocompatible and biodegradable. PLLA microparticles exert their action as follows once
- Sculptra injections are administered into the deeper layers of the skin: PLLA acts as a bio-activator, stimulating your body's fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen synthesis) to produce new collagen.
- To Gradually Restore Volume: In turn, the new collagen provides the skin with gradual and natural improvement in facial volume appearing thicker, firmer, and better-supported.
- Long-lasting Effect Because Sculptra® works by stimulating your own collagen, the result is not immediate but develops gradually and can last for up to two years or more.
- Biodegradable: The PLLA particles are subsequently broken down and absorbed by the body after some time, leaving only collagen that was laid down due to Sculptra's activity.
Possible Advantages and Implementations of Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a method of treating various aspects of ageing and deficiency of volume in the face:
Restoration of Facial Volume
Filling cheeks, temples, and midface devoted to youthful and lift appearances.
Manual Adjustment of Wrinkles and Fold
Fading marks of nasolabial fold (marionette lines), smile lines, and chin wrinkles.
Face Contour Maximal
Shaping and defining the contour of cheeks and jawline.
Results That Look Natural
They give gradual and mild improvement to look naturally without giving an “overfilled” feel, unlike some traditional Sculptra filler options.
What to Expect During Sculptra Treatment at SaRivaa Aesthetics
SaRivaa Aesthetics considers that your comfort and a personalised Sculptra® experience are paramount.
(i). Consultation: Your entire experience begins with a thorough consultation with one of our skilled Sculptra injector professionals, where your facial structure will be assessed, aesthetic goals will be discussed, and it will be determined if Sculptra® is the right treatment for you. The treatment course will also be elaborated on, as well as possible results, and your questions will be answered regarding the Sculptra cost and the process.
(ii). Treatment Planning: We will create a personalised plan according to your specific needs, detailing how many injection sessions will be required and which areas will be treated. The results of Sculptra treatment are best achieved when performed as a series of 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
(iii). Preparation: On the day of your treatment, the surfaces that will be injected will be cleansed and disinfected. A topical anaesthetic may be used to make your Sculptra injections more comfortable.
(iv). Injection Technique: Sculptra® is injected into the deeper layers of the skin at strategic locations using a fine needle or a cannula. The number of Sculptra injections and volume of product used will be dictated by what areas require treatment and how much volume has been lost.
(v) Massage: Directly after the Sculptra injections, the treated areas will be thoroughly massaged to ensure even distribution of the Sculptra® product. Further, the patient will be instructed on how to massage the treated areas at home for a few days after each session.
(vi).Sculptra Treatment Duration: Each Sculptra treatment session lasts for about 30 to 60 minutes
(vii). Post Treatment Care: You may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising, or at the injection sites, but this does not happen usually and would disappear after a few days. We will give thorough aftercare instructions would minimise discomfort and allow for optimal results. You can expect to see full face sculptra before and after results develop gradually.
(viii). Timeline for results: You have to understand that the results of Sculptra aesthetic are gradual; immediately after the first session, you will not see much change. Collagen stimulation takes time, at the end of which, someone will begin noticing some restoration of volume and improvements in skin texture, typically several weeks to months following the initial treatments.
