What is Sculptra®?

SCULPTRA® is a cosmetic medical treatment distinct from traditional fillers like hyaluronic acid. Unlike conventional fillers that only fill wrinkles and hollows, SCULPTRA® also stimulates collagen production, aiding in the improvement of skin firmness and elasticity. SCULPTRA® is particularly effective in filling wrinkles and depressed areas, especially around the chin, cheeks, and temples. After injection, SCULPTRA® encourages collagen synthesis within the skin, gradually enhancing its texture and firmness. This results in skin that looks younger and more vibrant.

Frequency of Treatment

SCULPTRA® can last up to two years or even longer, though results may vary based on individual physique and metabolism. It is generally recommended to undergo a full course of three treatments, using 1-3 vials each time, with injections every 4 to 6 weeks.

Side Effects

The primary component of SCULPTRA® is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which was approved by the U.S. FDA in 2009. Once injected, this material can quickly and evenly disperse within the skin without forming lumps, posing minimal risk of nodules or embolism.

Treatment Cost

All SCULPTRA® treatments are customized, with final costs determined after a consultation with a specialist. The price depends on the dosage of the medication used and the injection areas. The total cost for the entire course of treatment is established at the end of the consultation. Contact customer service now, and new clients enjoy a 25% discount!

Frequently Asked Question

What is the main ingredient in SCULPTRA®?

The main ingredient in SCULPTRA® Yis poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable material approved by Health Canada. It naturally enhances the treated area's skin, making your appearance look younger. SCULPTRA® also rebuilds collagen lost due to aging, restoring the skin's internal structure and volume.

SCULPTRA® is the first PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) filler approved by the U.S. FDA. Once injected into the face, it stimulates the production of natural collagen, smoothing wrinkles and improving skin texture. For instance, it can firm up sagging skin and rejuvenate the complexion. The effects can last up to 2 years.

What are advantages of SCULPTRA®?

  1. Natural Effects: The mechanism of SCULPTRA® is to stimulate collagen production, which gradually improves the skin's texture and firmness, making the effects appear more natural. Unlike some fillers that cause immediate and noticeable volume increase, SCULPTRA® enhances skin condition by promoting collagen production within the tissue.

  2. Long Duration: Since the collagen production stimulated by SCULPTRA® takes time, its effects can last a relatively long time, typically up to a year or even longer. This reduces the need for frequent injections.

  3. Improved Skin Texture: Besides filling in depressed areas, SCULPTRA® also enhances skin texture and elasticity, making the skin look younger and healthier.

  4. Wide Application Range: SCULPTRA® can be used on various facial areas, such as cheekbones, jawline, temples, and other body parts, like the back of the hands.

  5. Fewer Treatment Sessions: Although a series of injections may be required for optimal results, SCULPTRA® may require fewer sessions compared to other treatments, reducing the duration and inconvenience of the treatment process.

  6. Customized Treatment: Doctors can create personalized treatment plans based on each patient's needs and expectations to achieve the best results.

What are the Risks of SCULPTRA®?

SCULPTRA® injections are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment with relatively low risks since they involve injecting substances into the superficial layers of the skin. While the procedure is generally safe, there are potential side effects due to the nature of the treatment as a foreign substance introduction through skin puncture. These can include temporary redness, lumps, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. There's also a possibility of persistent allergic reactions, increased visibility of small blood vessels, stiffness, and nodularity.

Inadequate skin components may impede nutrient delivery to cells, affecting the skin's recovery and its ability to maintain normal structure and promote healing. This could lead to dryness, swelling, and, over time, dullness, lack of volume, and indentations.

The injection process can irritate the skin and disrupt its protective barrier, potentially leading to minor inflammation or, if improperly cared for, infection. Injecting materials that the skin has difficulty absorbing might also disturb normal skin functions, causing irritation, damage, and disrupting normal metabolism, which could result in sensitivity.

Although infrequent, treated areas might develop microscopic particles beneath the skin, with occasional larger nodules or changes in skin color.

What areas can SCULPTRA® be applied to?

SCULPTRA® injections aren't limited to just firming the skin; they can also smooth out wrinkles around the mouth and neck, and even be used to enhance and fill areas like the chest, buttocks, and intimate regions. There aren't many products on the market that can tighten skin effectively. Our SCULPTRA® treatments do more than just firm up the skin; they also make it look naturally fuller, while improving skin tone and texture, helping you reclaim a youthful appearance.

Is SCULPTRA® a growth factor?

No, it's a common misconception, but SCULPTRA® does not contain growth factors. Its main component, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It works by stimulating the dermis to activate fibroblasts and boost collagen production. This action thickens the skin's subcutaneous layer, effectively filling in lost tissue and leading to improved skin firmness and texture.

What's the difference between SCULPTRA® and hyaluronic acid fillers?

Although both hyaluronic acid and SCULPTRA® serve as fillers, their principles of operation are significantly different.

Hyaluronic acid acts as a physical filler to fill depressions; the results are immediate, but the duration is relatively short, necessitating regular touch-up injections.

SCULPTRA®, on the other hand, stimulates the deep dermal production of one's own collagen and boosts cell vitality. Thus, its effects emerge gradually, offering a more authentic appearance and longer-lasting results. Additionally, SCULPTRA® aims to enhance and firm the skin across the entire face.

Which is better, SCULPTRA® or BOTOX?

Both SCULPTRA® and BOTOX are effective in wrinkle reduction, and both treatments require some time to show results—SCULPTRA® takes about 2-3 weeks, while BOTOX typically shows effects in about 7-10 days. In terms of duration, SCULPTRA® offers longer-lasting effects.

SCULPTRA® works by stimulating the body's own collagen production to reduce wrinkles, making it suitable for treating fine lines and depressions caused by aging, improving the skin's condition from within.

BOTOX, on the other hand, reduces wrinkles by blocking nerve signals to muscles, making it more suitable for dynamic expression lines. It works by relaxing facial muscles to prevent the formation of fine lines.
