Treatment Overview
Sculptra is an FDA-approved treatment designed to address the underlying causes of aging skin by restoring lost collagen. This biostimulatory filler works over time to promote healthy collagen production, offering gradual and subtle improvements to facial volume, contour, and texture. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume immediately, Sculptra boosts the body to regenerate collagen for a naturally youthful look. It can be used on various areas, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and even the body, to treat fine lines or cellulite. It is ideal for patients seeking long-lasting, subtle results without looking overdone.
What to Expect
Before the Treatment
- A Symmetry Aesthetics and Wellness consultation will determine if Sculptra suits your desired aesthetic goal.
- To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin or fish oil) for a few days before your appointment.
- You may also recommend avoiding alcohol for 24-48 hours beforehand.
- Your aesthetician may recommend using Arnica tablets or creams to prepare your skin.
During the Treatment
- The session lasts between 60-90 minutes.
- Sculptra is injected strategically into targeted areas, often with the use of topical numbing cream to enhance comfort.
- Redness, mild swelling, or bruising may be noticeable but typically subsides within 1-2 days.
- While some mild discomfort may occur during the injections, most clients find the treatment tolerable.
After the Treatment
- You can resume normal activities immediately, though it's recommended to avoid severe exercise for 24 hours.
- Gentle facial massage (as instructed by your practitioner) may help the product distribute evenly and prevent nodules.
- Results will appear slowly over the next 4-6 weeks as your body produces collagen, with optimal results after a series of treatments.
Maintenance
For best results, most patients undergo 2-4 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 12-24 months, depending on how your body responds and your aesthetic goals. Routine follow-ups at Symmetry Aesthetics and Wellness ensure your results stay fresh and aligned with your expectations.
