Sculptra® Aesthetic
INJECTABLE COLLAGEN BUILDER
Sculptra works subtly and gradually over time for a more youthful-looking appearance. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra aesthetic helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production to help restore its inn er structure and increase facial volume that has been lost to aging. Sculptra aesthetic is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as a one-time treatment or regime of up to four injection sessions that are scheduled about four weeks apart.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen — an underlying cause of facial aging — for results that can last more than two years.*
IT'S USED TO CORRECT SHALLOW TO DEEP FACIAL WRINKLES AND FOLDS
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE SCULPTRA AESTHETIC?
REAL RESULTS THAT LAST
Fillers are liquid or gel substances, like hyaluronic acid or bovine or porcine collagen, that diminish lines by pushing up the dermis space beneath wrinkles and creases. Results appear immediately and can last up to several months.
Collagen stimulators are used to diminish facial wrinkles by helping to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin. Results appear gradually over the treatment regime (typically four injections over the course of four months) and can last up to three years.
Not all treatments or injectables are created the same. Some target different areas of the face, and, more importantly, produce different effects.
Traditional collagen creams purport to deliver collagen that is absorbed by the skin. However, collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the dermis. So, in actuality, most of these treatments include vitamins and hold moisture, making them suitable moisturizers that can briefly improve skin’s appearance.
Collagen dietary supplements are meant to facilitate the production of collagen within the body. However, collagen is a protein that, when ingested, is broken down by the digestive system. Results for these types of treatments are inconclusive.
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra Aesthetic is different. It works with your body within the deep dermis, rather than topically, to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra Aesthetic PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra has conclusive results and has been FDA approved.
