SCULPTRA - AN INNOVATIVE PROCEDURE FOR VOLUME RESTORATION AND SKIN REJUVENATION
How does Sculptra work?
In contrast to conventional fillers, which instantly inflate volume, Sculptra has a lasting, natural effect for men. The injections bring poly-L-lactic acid deep into the skin, where they stimulate the body's own collagen production. Collagen is the basic framework for firm, resilient skin — comparable to steel girders in a building.
As we age, the body produces less collagen, which results in a loss of strength and definition in men. Sculptra gets this process back on track and provides more skin density, stability and a distinctive, defined appearance over weeks and months — without looking artificial.
The process takes place in several steps:
- Sculptra injection: The doctor injects Sculptra into the desired treatment area, such as the cheeks, temples, chin, or hands, to replace lost volume.
- Stimulating collagen production: Poly-L-lactic acid stimulates the body's own production of collagen, providing gentle toning and a fuller, more youthful appearance.
- Slow results: Unlike conventional fillers, the change is not immediately visible after a Sculptra treatment. Instead, there is a gradual and natural improvement that is visible over several months.
Benefits of Sculptra
- Long-term results: Sculptra not only provides quick results, but also ensures long-lasting skin rejuvenation. The effect can last up to two years or longer as collagen production is continuously stimulated.
- Natural look: Since Sculptra promotes your own collagen production and does not produce any immediately visible volume changes, the results are very natural and subtle.
- Versatility: Sculptra can be used on various parts of the body, particularly where volume has been lost, such as the face (cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds) or hands.
- No visible scars: Because Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment, there is no scarring and downtime is minimal.
Sculptra applications
Sculptra is particularly popular for treating age-related facial volume loss. Common areas of application include:
- cheeks: To plump up sunken cheeks and make the face look fuller.
- temples: To fill up the temporal region, which often starts with age.
- Chin and jawline: To improve jaw contours and reduce double chins.
- nasolabial folds: To soften deeper wrinkles on the sides of the nose.
- hands: To restore volume and skin density, as hands often show early signs of skin aging.
