Procedure
Sculptra® can help refresh and enhance your appearance without surgery or downtime. This injectable filler adds subtle volume by stimulating your natural collagen for gradual yet noticeable changes that can make you look up to ten years younger.
Sculptra fills in lost fullness in the face, lifts drooping cheeks, smooths creases around eyes and mouth and restores shape to sagging buttocks. If pregnancy, weight loss or aging has softened your facial contours or flattened your backside, a few Sculptra treatments can rewind time. You’ll look naturally refreshed and contoured, not fake or sudden. Plus, there’s no need to hide out while you recover. You can get Sculptra over your lunch break and pop back into your busy day.
Sculptra is an injectable filler used to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles and contour the face. This unique product also offers a nonsurgical option to lift, augment and better define the shape of the buttocks. Sculptra gradually revitalizes collagen lost due to aging or changes in weight. It creates a subtle but noticeable rejuvenating effect. If you want to regain a youthful appearance in the face or enhance your rear curves, Sculptra could be an excellent solution for you.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic polymer that stimulates collagen production. Over time, the PLLA microparticles degrade and are eliminated by the body, while the collagen that is formed remains to provide a more youthful, voluminous appearance.
Sculptra works by kickstarting the body’s natural collagen production. The PLLA microparticles gradually increase volume by revitalizing weakened collagen and stimulating new collagen formation. Results appear over the course of several weeks and improve gradually over the first few months.
Unlike most fillers that add volume, Sculptra stimulates collagen production for a more gradual, natural-looking enhancement. Rather than just filling wrinkles and gaps, it reinforces the underlying structure of the treatment area.
Sculptra is highly versatile when it comes to enhancing different parts of the body, especially the face and buttocks regions.
Sculptra first gained popularity as an injectable for facial rejuvenation. Sculptra on the face produces extremely natural yet refreshed and vibrant results.
The versatility of Sculptra extends to the buttocks for augmentation, lifting and contouring. With precise injection techniques, Sculptra excels at revealing smooth and balanced curves.
Sculptra has minimal recovery time, which is one of the benefits of the treatment. You will not have to completely restrict your daily activities as you would after a surgical procedure. Here are the typical aftercare experiences with Sculptra:
You may experience minor bruising, swelling, redness and discomfort in the treatment area. This typically fades within a few days. Some patients apply makeup immediately after to hide any temporary marks on the face.
Take it easy even though you can do most activities as usual. Avoid rigorous exercise, harsh saunas and direct intense sunlight. You may wear a compression garment to help support swelling. Keep the area clean to prevent infection.
Over the next week, swelling should fully resolve, and you’ll begin to see some subtle changes from the collagen stimulation. Most people are comfortable going back to their regular routine at this point.
Over the next several weeks and months, you’ll continue to notice gradual improvement from ongoing collagen production. Stay hydrated, eat nutritiously, sleep well and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to help support the regenerative process.
Some evidence shows diet and nutrition can impact the longevity of Sculptra results. Avoid significant fluctuations in weight and follow a collagen-boosting diet (e.g., healthy fats, vitamin C). Most patients opt for touch-up treatments once per year or two to maintain results for as long as possible.
The short recovery period with Sculptra makes it easy to integrate into your life. Proper aftercare for the first week helps ensure you heal smoothly. Be patient in seeing improvements over the first few months – they will unfold gradually but lasting.
Sculptra can produce long-lasting results in both the face and body when injected properly. However, the results are not permanent.
Most patients see facial rejuvenation results last up to 2 years before starting to reverse. The gradual collagen stimulation creates youthful facial contours and volume that remain intact for 24 months. Certain areas like temples and midface tend to be longer-lasting.
For rear lifts, the projected longevity of Sculptra is shorter – averaging 1-2 years until touch-ups are recommended. The buttocks area tends to experience more mechanical influences from exercise, clothing and other external factors that impact durability. With lifestyle factors like weight maintenance, some patients enjoy the effects as long as possible before opting for refresher appointments.
Consistency with follow-ups for touch-ups is vital for prolonged, lasting improvements with Sculptra. For both facial and buttocks rejuvenation, follow-up maintenance treatments are essential for sustaining long-term results. Having refresher appointments before your results are entirely diminished has a cumulative effect, requiring less product and frequency over time.
Patients that combine treatments see better, faster results than doing one treatment alone. Talk to one of our professional team members today about potential cost savings when you book multiple treatments together!
Sculptra can be used as a nonsurgical alternative to lift, augment and contour the buttocks. It adds volume that restructures and defines the buttocks.
Sculptra is carefully injected deep under the skin into buttocks areas that need increased volume or lift. The microparticles stimulate new collagen production, giving gradual, natural-looking results.
Sculptra buttock enhancement is suitable for a variety of individuals seeking moderate improvements in shape, lift, volume and contour. Talk to your provider about whether your unique anatomy and aesthetic objectives make you suited for Sculptra butt enhancement. Those with adequate natural fullness and fat respond best. Very thin patients may need supplemental augmentation options in combination. Good candidates include:
Patients in overall good health who desire gradual, natural-looking augmentation are great Sculptra candidates. It brings subtle definition.
Sculptra excels at restoring volume, fullness and lift lost after pregnancy and childbirth, leading to a flattened, wider buttock shape.
People who want moderate adjustment in the projection, proportions, symmetry or lift of their rear without extensive surgery make ideal Sculptra candidates.
The buttocks’ shaping abilities make Sculptra effective for balancing out disproportionate shapes between the midsection, hips and thighs.
Individuals who lost fullness in the buttocks due to weight loss find Sculptra rejuvenates lost dimension that can make the rear look saggy or flat.
Those seeking significant yet natural-looking enhancement rather than large volumes of augmentation get excellent outcomes with Sculptra.
The best option depends on your budget, desired results, tolerance for recovery and existing anatomy. But Sculptra is the perfect solution for giving a larger rear end a try without surgery or making a permanent decision.
Here are the main differences:
Results can be seen as quickly as the first week and improves over time. Results typically continue to last for upwards of 2-5 years. Maintenance treatments can be needed to maintain long term results pending personal expectations.
Sculptra does not involve an operating room or general anesthesia. It relies on a minimally invasive, small needle-sized device to inject a (poly-l-lactic acid) just beneath the surface of the skin.
The insertion point will be treated with lidocaine (injected) by your provider to allow for a more comfortable treatment. After this, there is little discomfort during the treatment.
There is limited downtime associated with Sculptra cellulite therapy. Some patients experience initial soreness and tenderness after numbing has subsided, but these side effects resolve quickly with time. Most patients return to work the day following treatment.
