SCULPTRA BIOSTIMULATOR
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment primarily made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), the same biodegradable material found in dissolvable stitches. When injected into the skin, PLLA assists your body in producing its own collagen, a protein that’s key to maintaining a youthful facial volume and reducing the appearance of fine lines, facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Located in beautiful Vero Beach, FL, Align Aesthetics is proud to offer Sculptra treatments to our patients. To learn more about Sculptra and whether it’s the right treatment for you, don’t hesitate to book a consultation with us today.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Sculptra aids in collagen growth, enhancing facial volume and reducing signs of aging. Unlike a facelift or plastic surgery, Sculptra treatment involves minimal downtime. Plus, the results are more gradual and natural-looking, making Sculptra a preferred choice for many individuals seeking facial rejuvenation.
WHY WE LOVE SCULPTRA:
Sculptra stands apart from other dermal fillers due to its unique ability to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production. Over time, the Sculptra injections are naturally absorbed by your body, leaving behind your own natural collagen. The result is a fuller, more youthful appearance with results that can last between two to three years.
FAQ
Who is an ideal candidate for Sculptra?
If you want to cultivate a more youthful, refreshed look gradually over time and are in general good health, Sculptra fillers could be the right fit for you.
Our Sculptra clients typically have the following characteristics or concerns:
- Facial wrinkles, fine lines and folds
- Loss of facial volume, especially in the mid-face and jawline area
- Marionette lines
- Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines
However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for Sculptra. It is not recommended for people who have a known allergy to any ingredient of Sculptra, are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.
It’s essential to have a detailed discussion with your healthcare provider to evaluate whether Sculptra is the right treatment option for you.
How soon will I see results from Sculptra injections?
Immediately following your Sculptra injections, you may notice some initial plumping in the treated area. However, the full effects of Sculptra will become evident over the following weeks as your skin begins to produce new collagen. The full rejuvenation effects typically become visible after a few treatment sessions.
What can I expect during my appointment?
At your appointment, we’ll begin with a consultation to ensure Sculptra is the right treatment for you. During the procedure, your provider will apply an anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Then, using a fine needle, Sculptra will be injected into the targeted areas. The procedure is quick and involves minimal downtime.
What is the downtime and recovery after getting Sculptra?
Some minor side effects such as swelling or redness at the injection site may be observed. However, these are temporary and usually subside within a few days. Post-treatment care instructions will be provided to ensure optimal results and minimize any discomfort.
