Sculptra: They Key to Rebuilding Lost Collagen

In previous posts, we discussed the importance of sunscreen and other topical antiaging ingredients.

Today, I wanted to touch on an injectable treatment intended to replace your lost collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity.

Sculptra is the first FDA-approved collagen stimulator that helps revitalize collagen in the dermis with results lasting up to 2-3 years.

Sculptra is a biocompatible, biodegradable injectable material made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It is injected into the dermis and works by initially filling a wrinkle with small PLLA beads. As the beads biodegrade, the body gradually produces collagen where it is injected to improve facial volume and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Think of adding fertilizer to your lawn or growing from seed instead of sod. This new collagen firms the skin and creates volume rejuvenation, increased skin thickness, and overall improvement in texture.

TREATMENT AREAS:

• Sunken Cheeks

• Fine lines and wrinkles on cheeks

• Sunken and hollow temples

• Weak jawline

• Wrinkled chin, prejowl sulcus

• Nasolabial Folds (“Smile Lines”)

BENEFITS:

• Long-lasting Results: effects can last for up to 2-3 years.

• Natural-looking Results: Sculptra works with your body’s natural processes, resulting in a more natural outcome.

• Improved Skin Quality: Sculptra can improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

If you are looking to appear more youthful without appearing like you have had work done, you may want to consider Sculptra as an option due to its natural, slower progression.
