SCULPTRA INJECTION FOR FACIAL VOLUME RESTORATION

WHERE CAN SCULPTRA BE USED?

Sculptra is most commonly used in areas of the face where volume loss is noticeable, such as the cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds. However, it can also be used in other areas like the hands to improve skin texture and volume. While Sculptra is approved and widely used for hand rejuvenation in many other countries, it is important to note that it is still not currently approved by Health Canada for the areas like the hand and neck. Its gradual, long-lasting effects make it a popular choice for those seeking a natural approach to anti-aging.

what should i do after the procedure?

To ensure the best results and an even distribution of the product, it is essential to follow specific aftercare steps following your Sculptra treatment. For the first 24 hours, please do not apply any makeup or skincare products to the treated area to allow the injection sites to heal and prevent infection. Most importantly, you must follow the “Rule of 5” to help the collagen-stimulating particles settle correctly: massage the treated areas 5 times a day, for 5 minutes at a time, for 5 consecutive days. Please ensure you massage the area exactly as the instructions given during your session to ensure the product is distributed evenly. While you may experience some minor swelling or bruising, adhering to this massage routine and avoiding strenuous exercise for the first day will help achieve a smooth, natural-looking rejuvenation.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA?

Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator designed to stimulate collagen production, helping to restore lost volume and improve skin texture. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually to achieve a natural-looking result, enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity over time.

HOW DOES SCULPTRA WORK?

Sculptra injections contain poly-L-lactic acid, a substance that stimulates collagen growth in the deep layers of the skin. Collagen is essential for skin elasticity and volume, but as we age, its natural production decreases. By stimulating new collagen, Sculptra helps improve skin’s fullness and smooth out wrinkles and folds. This unique approach provides results that develop over a few months, giving the face a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE?

Sculptra injections should be administered by a qualified practitioner. The procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes. The practitioner will inject Sculptra into targeted areas of the skin using a fine needle. You may require multiple sessions, depending on your goals. After treatment, mild swelling or redness may occur but typically subsides within a few days. For added comfort, a topical numbing cream may be applied.

What to expect after treatment

There is little to no downtime after a Sculptra injection, allowing you to resume your regular activities soon after the procedure. Initial results may not be immediately visible, as Sculptra works gradually to stimulate collagen production. Over the course of several weeks, you will notice subtle and natural volume restoration, improving skin texture and firmness.

Sculptra’s effects are long-lasting but not permanent, and additional sessions may be needed to achieve and maintain the desired results. For most patients, results can last up to two years or longer with proper care. A follow-up session is typically recommended a few weeks after the initial treatment to assess progress and determine if further injections are needed to enhance results.

What should I do before the procedure?

Sculptra injections are a minimally invasive treatment performed at North York Cosmetic Clinic. For the best results, it’s recommended to avoid any skincare treatments or exfoliating products on the areas being treated for at least two days before your appointment. If you are taking any blood thinners, your doctor may advise you to stop them a few days prior to the procedure. Additionally, please inform us of any medications or supplements you’re currently taking, and follow your doctor’s guidance on any necessary adjustments.
