For visibly firmer skin
Sculptra® is a biodegradable medical injectable composed of poly-lactic acid. It is used to treat the skin at a hyper-diluted concentration, giving it a tissue-inducing action.
Injected deep into the subcutaneous tissue, Sculptra® is gradually broken down by the cells. This breakdown reaction induces a local increase in collagen production by our own cells. The result is smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.
Benefits
- Smoothes fine lines and improves firmnessThis treatment is effective on mature skin to correct signs of age-related skin slackening, such as loss of firmness and volume in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin or jawline.
- Reveals a radiant complexionIncreased collagen production to reveal a more radiant complexion.
- Natural, long-lasting results
- Body-contouring : Sculptra® uses a specific protocol to really sculpt the body. This surgery-free body contouring procedure lifts sagging buttocks. Its success has earned it the name "Brazilian butt lift".
During the session
After a thorough discussion with the doctor and confirmation that Sculptra® is indicated, the doctor disinfects the area to be treated and reconstitutes the injectable with a saline solution and a local anaesthetic.. The injection is made using a cannula via one or two small holes. The cannula is inserted under the skin and the product is injected into the deeper layers of the skin, where it stimulates collagen production.
Results
The treatment is not very painful. After the injection, the injected volume gives a healthy glow for two to three days. The final results begin to be visible after 1 month and gradually improve up to 6-9 months. The effect lasts up to 18-24 months.
Did you know?
Collagen is one of our body's main structural proteins. It accounts for almost 75% of the skin's composition. Collagen contributes to skin firmness and the proper functioning of skin physiology. Ageing begins at the end of growth, and skin collagen density gradually decreases from the age of 20.
