Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable non-filler for the face. It is a long lasting facial injectable and works by helping the body replace lost collagen.  Sculptra Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid. It works deep in the dermis and targets the underlying cause of facial aging by replacing lost collagen. Physicians have used this biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material for decades.  Sculptra Aesthetic is classified as a collagen stimulator and not a filler.  The results are gradual, long lasting, that can last for more than 2 years. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles, and folds.

Procedure

•   The area to be injected will be cleaned with an antiseptic
•   SCULPTRA Aesthetic will be injected in multiple small amounts into the skin using a fine needle
•   After injection, the treated area will be massaged by the Doctor to distribute the product evenly
•   An ice pack may be applied to the treatment area to help reduce swelling unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider

Recovery

•   Some redness, swelling, pain, bruising or all of these signs can happen in the treatment area. These signs usually go away in a few hours to a few days
•   Massage the treated area for 5 minutes 5 times per day for 5 days after your treatment
•   Within the first 24 hours after your treatment, apply ice or an ice pack wrapped in cloth (avoid putting ice directly on your skin) to the treatment area to help reduce swelling

•   Most patients are able to get back to their activities immediately following treatment
