Clinical trials of SCULPTRA show that three months after its injection into the skin, the amount of collagen in it increases by 66.5%. The skin is noticeably tightened, deep folds and wrinkles disappear, and lost facial volume is restored. With the help of Sculptra, facial asymmetry is also can be  ideally corrected. Gradual volume restoration can be an advantage for many patients who want to maintain individuality while correcting signs of aging.

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which is a fruit acid and is natural to the body. Due to the absence of foreign antigens in its composition, Sculptra is well accepted by the human body, minimizing the manifestations of allergic reactions.

Poly-L-lactic acid activates fibroblasts, which are responsible for the synthesis of connective tissue cells and the production of new collagen and elastin in the skin, which are responsible for skin elasticity and the absence of wrinkles.

While Sculptra is in the tissues, the formation of new connective fibers is constantly stimulated. This manifests itself by replenishing lost tissue volume and rejuvenation. The most important thing is that collagen stimulation with Sculptra is achieved using the human dermis’s own reserves.

After the effect of the injectable has ended, poly-L-lactic acid breaks down into the final products of metabolism (water and carbon dioxide) and is completely eliminated from the body. 

SCULPTRA is recommended for patients over 35 years of age to combat noticeable signs of aging and tissue ptosis.

SCULPTRA is most often used on the face, neck, décolleté, shoulders, hands, and abdomen, but can also be used for other areas that require correction, such as the buttocks or inner thighs.

Following an average of 3 treatments, most patients will see a noticeable difference in approximately 6 weeks. Please note that in some patients further treatment may be required and a difference may not be noticeable for more than 6 weeks.

The effect of a single procedure will last up to 1 year, the effect of a course of procedures will last up to 2-3 years.

Depending on the initial condition of the skin and the desired result, the SCULPTRA procedure can be performed either once or in a course of 2-4 procedures with an interval of 3-6 weeks. The amount of the injectable for the entire course and for each procedure is counted individually according to the indications and clinical situation by the doctor of our clinic.

A week before the procedure, it is recommended to reduce exposure to open sun and also stop visiting the solarium so as not to cause pigmentation.

Since the procedure is invasive, anticoagulants, drugs that affect blood clotting, are stopped within a week.

The procedure has a minimal recovery period, so the patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. For 1-2 weeks after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid visiting the sauna and bathhouse, the gym, going to the solarium and swimming in the pool.
