Aging is a natural process that all of us go through eventually. While you can’t do anything about the passing years, you can take the necessary steps to keep a youthful appearance longer. Did you know that about 5 million people get dermal fillers every year? One of the most popular options is Sculptra® Aesthetic.
But what exactly is this injectable, and how is it different from HA dermal fillers? What can you expect after getting the treatment? Well, unlike traditional fillers that offer immediate results, Sculptra® takes a little longer to appear, and for good reason! This blog will tell you more about why it can benefit you as well.
What Is Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is an injectable product based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which aims to restore fullness and volume. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that treat wrinkles temporarily, on a surface level, Sculptra® Aesthetic treats them from a deeper level.
The effect of this injectable is gradual, as PLLA works to stimulate collagen and elastin within the dermis. Most patients should be able to see some significant improvement within three weeks after the treatment. New collagen will continue to form and mature within the next few months, offering a more youthful appearance over time.
Sculptra® Aesthetic can be used to treat conditions like recessed cheeks and temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and overall facial sagging. The effects can last for up to two years or more.
Top Reasons to Try Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic can bring benefits like:
1.Long-Lasting Results
The effects of Sculptra® Aesthetic last longer than your average filler. That’s because it doesn’t just fill in the gaps, it supports the natural production of collagen. Once the collagen production triggered by the injectable matures, the effects can last for as long as two years. You can get one treatment per year to make sure the results stay as they are.
2. Natural Results
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a favored choice because it doesn’t give you that “done” look. The injectable works with your natural features, subtly supporting natural production. Progression is gradual, but once the results settle, you will look like a naturally enhanced version of yourself.
3. Versatility
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of Sculptra® Aesthetic is that it works for multiple areas of the body. The injectable can be used to reduce the intensity of fine lines and wrinkles, but it also works for cheeks, temples, and jawline contouring. Poly-L-lactic acid has also shown efficiency for subtle buttocks enhancement, offering non-surgical volume and firming in the long term.
4. Minimal Downtime
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a non-surgical treatment that delivers the active agent by using a needle. The potential for downtime is minimal to nonexistent, and the side effects are short-lived. You may notice some bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, but those effects usually subside within a few days.
5. Improved Skin Health
One thing that sets Sculptra® Aesthetic apart from other treatments is that it treats the skin from the inside out. The skin needs collagen to support dermal integrity, improving its texture. Since Sculptra® treatments increase dermal thickness, your pore size can also decrease as a result. This can indirectly lead to fewer acne breakouts and overall cleaner skin.
How to Make the Most of Sculptra® Aesthetic Treatments
Sculptra® Aesthetic injections can show long-lasting results, but good practices can extend their longevity. Here are a few tips to follow:
• Wear at least 30 SPF whenever you go out
• Follow post-care instructions
• Hydrate the skin to keep it plump
• Follow a consistent skincare routine with nourishing serums
• Set up maintenance treatments every year
