Case Details
The results of Sculptra continue to amaze us, although by this point, we shouldn’t be surprised! The safety profile of Sculptra and its amazing effects have been well documented since 2004, but its use has seen a revival of sorts in the last couple of years. I personally think it’s due to more people wanting a more NATURAL approach to their anti-aging journey.
Facts about Sculptra:
•It’s actually not a filler! It is lactic acid, mixed with sterile water, and injected into the areas that need the most collagen and elastin stimulation.
•Sculptra improves your skin from the inside out, improving flat/hollowed areas in need of revolumization as well as skin quality. In fact, we injectors usually refer to it as the “Sculptra Glow.”
•Results are gradual. I tell my patients to not expect to see any noticeable results until at least 6 weeks after their 1st treatment. Often, the biggest results are noted after the 2nd & 3rd treatments, so stick with the plan and you’ll be so glad you did!
•Recommended treatment plan: series of 3 sessions, 8 weeks apart, then reassess in 6 months. Once annual treatments are recommended for maintenance.
•Results will last up to 2 years!
•Minimal bruising may occur, as well as the possibility of nodule formation. However, nothing a little massage or makeup can’t fix!
