Sculptra
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating substance that helps rejuvenate the face for a youthful and firmer appearance. Its main component is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), which is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).
How Sculptra works:
When Sculptra is injected into the skin, the PLLA stimulates the body to produce new collagen. This process helps fill in deep wrinkles and adjust the skin structure to be firmer. The results will gradually become more apparent within 3 months after treatment.
Benefits of Sculptra:
-
Stimulates collagen production: Helps restore skin structure from within, making the skin look firm and supple.
-
Reduces wrinkles and deep lines: Fills in deep wrinkles and lines for a natural look.
-
Lifts and firms the skin: Improves sagging skin for a firmer appearance.
-
Improves skin quality: Increases moisture and smoothness for radiant skin.
The difference between Sculptra and common fillers:
Common fillers often use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to fill in deep wrinkles and provide instant results. However, Sculptra focuses on stimulating the body’s own collagen production, resulting in gradual and long-lasting results for up to 25 months.
Sculptra treatment steps:
-
Consult a doctor: The doctor will assess your skin condition and plan the appropriate treatment.
-
Apply anesthesia: For comfort during the injection.
-
Inject Sculptra: The doctor will inject the substance into the desired skin layer.
-
Massage the skin: After the injection, you should massage the skin according to the “5-5-5” principle, which is to massage 5 times a day, for 5 minutes each time, for 5 days to help the substance spread evenly.
Post-treatment care:
-
Avoid makeup and touching the injected area within the first 24 hours.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to strong sunlight initially.
-
If there is swelling or redness, you can apply a cold compress to relieve the symptoms.
