Everything To Know About The Trending Sculptra Treatment
Are you experiencing volume loss, saggy skin, or premature aging? Do you wish there were a natural way to boost the collagen in your skin? That’s where Sculptra comes in.
Sculptra treatment is a poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator, differing from traditional fillers since it works by strengthening your skin from the inside out. It does this by stimulating natural collagen production as your body heals itself.
How Does Sculptra Treatment Work?
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biostimulatory filler. When PLLA is injected into the skin, it triggers a regenerative healing process, encouraging your body to naturally start producing collagen.
Sculptra isn’t like other fillers, which plump your skin immediately; it works gradually according to your body’s natural healing, strengthening the skin and firming it.
What Does Biostimulator Mean?
Biostimulator means it triggers your own body’s natural healing process, helping your skin restore its collagen naturally. The collagen in your body is responsible for its firmness and youthful look. Using a biostimulator is ideal if you’re after a more authentic, natural look to your skin without looking like you’ve had work done.
Can Anyone Get Sculptra Injections?
Sculptra is a highly effective treatment for anyone looking to restore collagen and plumpness in their skin. It’s ideal for anyone looking for natural results that unfold over time.
Sculptra might not be suitable for people suffering from autoimmune conditions, pregnant individuals, anyone with active skin infections, a history of keloids, or those who are suffering from severe volume loss.
It’s best to book a Sculptra consultation with us so we can discuss if this treatment is best suited to your skin goals, or we can recommend an alternative.
Sculptra Injections Vs Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Sculptra injections and hyaluronic acid fillers are both used to restore plumpness in the skin, but work in different ways and yield different result timelines.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most ideal choice if you want instant fullness and quick results since they physically fill out the wrinkles in the skin. They typically last anywhere between 6 to 12 months and slowly fade over time.
Sculptra, on the other hand, stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, gradually showing results after a few weeks. Since this treatment is produced by the body’s own healing, it can last longer than HA fillers, up to 24 months.
The treatment you choose depends on whether you’re looking for more natural results over time, which last longer, or instant volume, which fades faster.
What To Expect During a Sculptra Treatment At Hannah London
Sculptra treatments at Hannah London are performed by our aesthetic professionals after you’ve had a consultation with us.
Before we begin the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied. The treatment typically takes around 45 minutes with the Sculptra solution being injected into targeted areas such as the upper thigh or bum.
After treatment, the areas where Sculptra has been applied are gently massaged to reduce the risks of any lumps forming under the skin. Mild redness is expected after treatment, but it will disappear within a day or two.
We recommend you do gentle daily massages after Sculptra treatment to make sure it distributes evenly under the skin, and you can resume daily activities straight away.
How Long Does Sculptra Treatment Last For?
Typically, around 2-3 sessions of Sculptra are needed for optimal results, and sessions are spaced anywhere up to 4 weeks apart. After your treatment, results can last up to two years depending on your skin.
You’ll start to notice your skin looking and feeling firmer over time as collagen rejuvenates.
