Sculptra is an incredible agent that can be injected into he skin to reverse the signs of aging. It starts off as a poly-L-lactic acid powder that is mixed with sterile water creating a gel for injection. This is then injected underneath your skin where rejuvenation and volume is needed. Sculptra is one of the oldest technologies in skin boosters that has been clinically proven to create fuller features and smoother skin appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein in your skin — as well as in your connective tissues, bones and cartilage — that provides structure, support and strength.

Sculptra can be injected anywhere in the body but is primarily used to treat the face. It is also a hugely popular option for treating the buttock area. In the face, the treatment can add volume over time in the cheeks and temples. Sculptra adds elasticity to the skin overall to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and make the skin more supple.

Sculptra is a procedure that is relatively straight forward. On the day of the appointment you will be given the option for having topical numbing cream to reduce any minor discomforts you may experience. The Sculptra PPLA powder is mixed with water to activate it and this is then injected in different zones. You can treat the whole face if you so wish in one sitting. Most patients experience some nice results straight away but the most optimal Sculptra results take 2-3 months to show.

After the procedure, the treated area may feel tender and swollen. Once the water solution is absorbed the PLLA elements coat the skin fibres and start to attract cytokines and chemokine to the area. As a result the whole the skin becomes activated and over time new collagen fibres are formed to build volume and scaffold for the skin.
Sculptra has one of the longest lasting results of most skin boosters – with some patients seeing its benefits upto 5 years after the treatment course is complete. For better outcomes 1-2 additional sessions maybe advised.
