Sculptra is a gel like substance made from poly-l-lactic acid that is used to stimulate the production of your own collagen. Yes, you read that right - your own body will be doing all the hard work! Sculptra is injected across the the outer areas of the face and can be used to treat deep lines, creases and restore volume loss due to ageing. This treatment is at times, a great alternative for those not wanting a traditional dermal filler but still require subtle volume. Scupltra results in a very natural rejuvenation.
Down time - There is minimal down time following this treatment, with tenderness and slight bruising to be expected. Sculptra does require massage after treatment for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days following treatment.
Results - Initial treatment with Sculptra will typically be done over the course of 3 appointments, completed at 4 weekly intervals, with the amount of product required being determined following a consultation with one of our Registered Nurses. A little patience is required for optimal results as we wait for the body to do its thing and create all the beautiful new collagen, a process that typically takes anywhere from 4 - 12 weeks, with results lasting up to 24mths.
