WHAT IS SCULPTRA?

The main ingredient of Sculptra is Poly-L-lactic acid, which
is a bio resorbable component of the muscle structure that
has been used in a range of medical procedures for over
25 years. It is immunologically inert, therefore requires
no allergy testing before treatment. Sculptra is injected
into the deep dermis and is ideal for replacing lost volume
caused by ageing & plumps out the facial folds that
become more pronounced over time. It is also highly
effective in the plumping out scar tissue to reduce the
indentation and promote an even appearance. Once
Sculptra is injected it takes up to 6 weeks to show the
effects as it is activated slowly. The benefit of this is that
it lasts for up to 12 - 18 months so it gives you long term
results.

HOW DOES SCULPTRA WORK?

Sculptra can provide gradual, natural looking results through
less traumatic treatment. The first injections show the
volume that will eventually remain, however, the effect is
lost once the water that is part of the volumising content
of Sculptra subsides. As the Sculptra works under the skin
it re-volumises over a period of weeks to fill out the dermis
of the skin. During the activation period you will see your
practitioner or consultant to assess if more injection is
required to reach the desired effect. Once the series of
injections is complete the effect of Sculptra can last for up
to 2 years!
