We feel like Juvederm and Restylane get all the glory! If you are familiar with dermal fillers for aesthetic purposes, you most likely have either heard or used one of the two. Well, I have a little secret to tell you…if you are looking for overall facial rejuvenation with a natural result, Sculptra is your answer!
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps your body gradually replace collagen. Impossible you say? Not at all! Let’s talk about how it works…
First, what is collagen and why is it so important? Collagen is the most common protein in our body, it helps form the framework to support cells and tissue. It is a fibrous protein in the deep dermis that gives structure to skin and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid. Which therefore maintains the skin’s shape while keeping it smooth and hydrated. After age 20, we lose 1% of our collagen per year! So by age 45, you have lost 25% of your collagen!!
Sculptra is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is slowly and naturally absorbed by the body. Over time, Sculptrahelps the body reproduce lost collagen. The number of appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months. Sculptra results in correcting deep structures of the skin resulting in less wrinkles and volume loss. Results can last up to 2 years!
