Sculptra® offers significant advantages as compared with other topical treatments and facial fillers in that it actually helps your body to revitalize its own collagen production This FDA-approved injectable solution gradually replaces lost collagen. Collagen is a natural substance that gives your skin resiliency, elasticity and shape.
By correcting shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, Sculptra treatment lets you enjoy a more youthful appearance lasting upwards of two years.
Not all wrinkle treatments or injectables work in the same way. Some work better for different areas of the face, and can produce different results in each patient. Traditional collagen creams claim to allow your skin to directly absorb collagen. Although they can add vitamins and moisture to briefly improve appearance, we now know that collagen molecules are too big to penetrate the skin, which is why most of those external treatments simply cannot work as promised,
Dietary supplements are another treatment promising to enhance production of collagen, but collagen is a protein that is typically broken down in the digestive system. Results from supplements are inconclusive, and further research needs to be performed before any efficacy can be claimed.
Sculptra promises results that last.
Working as a collagen stimulator, Sculptra Aesthetic works within the deep dermis instead of just superficially, to restore facial volume and fill in fine lines and wrinkles. It revitalizes collagen production and restores your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the micro-particles absorb into the skin, they stimulate collagen production, then those strengthened collagen strands gradually start to restore facial volume.
That’s what makes this treatment so revolutionary.
Results will appear over the course of the treatment, usually involving three injections over three to four months, with effects lasting up to two years.
