What is Sculptra?

Throughout life, our skin loses its healthy volume and elasticity. The skin's own collagen and elastin production decreases, resulting in the skin losing its youthful freshness and elasticity. As a result of this process, wrinkles occur and certain parts of the face may sag. Fluid removal with Sculptra specifically counteracts this development. Sculptra is a biostimulator that stimulates new collagen formation. In this way, the skin is tightened and rejuvenated from the inside. The skin renews itself.

Who Is Sculptra Injection Suitable For?

Sculptra injection is suitable for all patients who want to gently relieve the first signs of aging.

Volume deficiencies can be compensated; contours can be clearly defined and sunken areas of the face can be lifted. Fluid removal with Sculptra is particularly suitable as a minimally invasive procedure for wrinkle correction. Both superficial wrinkles and deeper wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and wrinkles in the corners of the mouth can be treated. The tightening effect is achieved only by the formation of new collagen. This makes the Sculptra treatment particularly suitable for patients who do not want a permanent change in their facial features. Injected polylactic acid is completely broken down by the body. A prerequisite for the Sculptra injection is an intact immune system. There should be no injury, infection or inflammation on the skin. Treatment with dermal fillers should not be done if there is an increased tendency to scarring.

What Should Be Considered Before Sculptra Treatment?

Sculptra injection does not require any special preparation by the patient. It is only important that your skin is healthy and that there are no injuries in the treatment areas. You should also be prepared to take a break from intense physical exertion for 1-2 weeks after Sculptra treatment. Blood-thinning medications (for example, aspirin) should be temporarily stopped about 14 days before the Sculptra injection.

How is Sculptra Treatment Done in Vancouver, BC?

Consultation:

In a detailed discussion, the doctor who treats you determines the treatment goal together with the patient. Depending on the individual initial situation, two or more sessions may be necessary before the desired result is achieved. This is determined in an individual treatment plan. The patient learns all the details about the process, post-process care and the risks of Sculptra treatment.

Local anesthetic:

Before the Sculptra injection, numbing cream is applied to the treatment areas. Local anesthetic can also be injected at the request of the patient. But as a rule, this is not necessary, as most patients find the treatment painless.

Process of liquid lifting:

A fluid removal usually only takes a few minutes. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the duration of treatment may vary slightly in individual cases. The polylactic acid filler is inserted into the deeper layers of the skin with fine needles, resulting in an immediate increase in volume. Most of the injected fluid is absorbed by the body over the next few days. As a result, the volume gain after the first treatment may decrease again after a few weeks before the real effect begins. Depending on the treated area and skin condition, approximately 2-4 sessions are required before achieving the desired result. Sessions are held every few weeks.

Sculptra Aftercare & Results

After the liquid lifting, the patient is immediately able to work and socialize again. However, physically demanding activities should be avoided for 1 - 2 weeks. During this time, the skin should also be protected from heat and UV radiation. Light massages about five times a day help distribute the biostimulator evenly throughout the skin. Slight swelling, redness and bruises may be visible immediately after the Sculptra injection. These side effects can be counteracted by careful cooling. If slight traces of treatment are still visible at the puncture sites, these can be covered with make-up immediately after the liquid lifting.
