If you’re yearning for a complexion that has a more youthful and soft look, then you don’t have to settle for anything less than that. Our dermatologist’s office offers a variety of cosmetic services that can help you attain the gorgeous, young, and smooth looking skin of your dreams. Sculptra is one such example.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra refers to synthetic lactic acid injections. These injections aim to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They also aim to manage parts of your complexion that are noticeably hollow and that lack volume. If your eyes and cheeks, for example, appear sunken and less than vibrant, you might benefit from Sculptra procedures. Sculptra works by encouraging the tissues to make natural collagen. This production then replenishes the resilience and flexibility of young and lovely skin.
When doctors give Sculptra injections, they do so under skin surfaces in sections that are experiencing loss of fat. Once these injections occur, Sculptra works hard to slowly but surely boost the thickness of the skin. It generally takes a few sessions of Sculptra injections for patients to be able to observe clear changes.
Is Sculptra a safe treatment for me?
If you’re concerned about the safety of Sculptra, you don’t have to be. These injections have FDA approval. Many people have received Sculptra injections since 1999, when it was first introduced to the public. Not only is Sculptra safe and reliable, but it also doesn’t introduce the possibility of frustrating allergic reactions. This is because its primary ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which is not in any way detrimental to bodies.
Patients generally receive anywhere between three and six Sculptra treatments in total. The number of necessary Sculptra treatments, however, is based on patients’ specific skin conditions and objectives. Intervals between Sculptra treatments are often between four and six weeks. These injections typically require at least a month to produce noticeable results. After a month or so, Sculptra can generally establish sufficient levels of collagen.
