Avoid taking blood thinners prior to the procedure unless otherwise prescribed by your physician and do not undergo other aggressive procedures in the treatment area. Come with clean skin, without makeup or creams.
Unlike fillers, which only cover up the problem, Sculptra activates the restoration of the collagen network from within. As we age, collagen, which is responsible for the skin's elasticity and firmness, is gradually lost. Sculptra directly targets the cause of these manifestations - collagen loss. Gradually, the body begins to produce less of it, leading to:
- sunken cheeks and sagging facial contours
- Permissive sleep and loss of volume in the area of the sled
- For fine to medium wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity
- Tired-looking skin
- Sagging skin on the body (buttocks, thighs, arms)
- Improved skin quality on the face, neck, décolleté, but also on the body (e.g. buttocks)
- Wrinkle smoothing and facial contouring
- For people with facial volume loss (sunken cheeks, temples, jawline)
- For sagging skin and loss of elasticity
- To rejuvenate the skin of the neck, décolleté or body (e.g. buttocks, inner thighs)
- For active skin infections or inflammation at the site of application
- If the patient has autoimmune diseases or clotting disorders
- In case of allergy to any of the product ingredients
- For pregnant or breastfeeding women
During the procedure, the skin is cleansed, after which the doctor draws which area he wants to treat and how. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is then injected into the skin. The substance is injected gently under the skin into the selected areas without the need for recovery. After the application, regular massage of the treated area for several days is recommended. The skin may be slightly swollen or sensitive for a few days - this is quite normal. Application is usually done in a series of several treatments (2-3 spaced several weeks apart).
Sculptra is an advanced treatment that activates your own collagen production, leading to natural wrinkle filling, improved skin elasticity and restoration of facial volume. The effect comes on gradually - the skin "wakes up" in 1-2 months and the results last for more than 2 years. Swelling or bruising may appear after the procedure, but these usually subside quickly. Regular massage of the treated area after the procedure is very important. Avoid intense sun exposure, sauna and strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
The treatment is minimally painful - thanks to the numbing agents in the solution and gentle injection techniques, the procedure is comfortable and well tolerated. There may be a slight sensation of pressure or burning during application, but it only lasts for a moment. Slight swelling or bruising may be present after the treatment, but this will quickly subside.
