What is Sculptra and is it right for you?

The Polyclinic Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center in Seattle, Washington, is excited to announce that we are now offering Sculptra, an FDA-approved facial anti-aging injectable treatment unlike any other.

Sculptra is unique in that it helps restore lost volume by stimulating your natural collagen production, which helps the skin naturally renew itself. By stimulating collagen creation within and underneath your skin and fat pads, it acts as a seed to regrow what’s been lost. There is no other product on the market with the same mechanism of action. Results develop gradually over a few months, look completely natural, and last much longer than most other injectables.

What is Sculptra, and how does it work?

The aging process, environmental stressors, and our genetic predispositioncause us to lose collagen at a rate of about 1% annually after the age of 20.This leads to thinning of the skin which results in the formation of wrinklesand folds. A healthy supply of collagen is the source of smooth skin and ayouthful appearance and fortunately, Sculptra can help!

Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) thatworks to address the underlying cause of aging skin. Once injected, Sculptrastimulates your body’s natural production of collagen resulting in therestoration of facial volume over time along with a beautiful improvement ofthe skin’s texture. Results are natural and typically become noticeable after2-4 sessions. Even better, the effects of Sculptra can last for up to twoyears!

What are the benefits of Sculptra?

• It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that requires littledowntime.
• It enhances skin tone and texture & improves skin health.
• It boosts collagen growth. Collagen is a natural skin protein that isresponsible for keeping the skin firm and plump. As more collagen grows, thedermis becomes thicker, enhancing facial volume.
• It offers subtle, natural-looking results. This occurs because of thestimulation of the skin’s natural collagen growth process, which gives theface an overall more youthful appearance.
• It offers long-lasting results. The results of Sculptra may last for up to 2years, a lot longer than many other cosmetic injectables.

What are the cons?

• Results aren’t permanent but they also can’t be quickly undone if you don’tlike the outcome or if you have a complication.
• Sculptra requires patience. You’ll need a minimum of 2 to 4 treatments overa few months to achieve your desired result.
• Possible side effects of a Sculptra treatment include bruising, asymmetry,or the development of nodules under the skin.
