The procedure is done in the office setting. Topical numbing creams are used before the procedure. Sculptra Aesthetic is injected into the skin using multiple needle injections. The discomfort is during the procedure mild, as the product is reconstituted with sterile water and dilute lidocaine and is easy to inject. The number of vials used and the number of injections per treatment session will vary depending on the degree of correction you and your physician decide is optimal.
Sculptra works best to add volume to hollows of the cheeks or temples in individuals who have lost facial fat. It has been called a "liquid facelift" because adding volume to the malar and cheek areas appears to lift sagging areas of a “thinned out” face. During the normal course of facial aging, the amount of facial fat decreases and descends creating a hollow or skeletonized look. In these cases, Sculptra restores a natural looking and youthful facial shape without any distortion.
Sculptra is a different type of injectable than what most people are used to. It doesnt simply increase tissue volume for an extended period like hyaluronic acid does. When you receive Sculptra injections, we infuse tissue with collagen-stimulating abilities. Collagen is the protein that heals wounds, as you may know. Its also the protein that supports tissue firmness. As your body ages, it slows down its natural production of collagen. Sculptra is an injectable treatment that works in concert with the body. It works gradually but achieves enduring results that look and feel natural.
