What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a cosmetic procedure aimed at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin health. It is an injectable Poly-L-Lactic acid that works to restore poor skin elastin and declining collagen, helping to improve fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is performed in 40 minutes with topical anesthetic and is aimed at addressing full areas of the face, neck, or hands. It helps revitalize dull, dry skin and smooth out lines and wrinkles, restoring a smooth, healthy glow to the skin. Many patients require 1-2 sessions of Sculptra to see maximum results, which can last up to two years. Sculptra is not a dermal filler and is aimed at achieving skin health and minimizing fine lines, whereas dermal fillers help contour and restore lost facial volume. At GentleMax Clinics, we recommend a combination treatment of both Sculptra and dermal fillers for optimal facial rejuvenation

Frequently Asked Questions
Sculptra is an injectable Poly Latic acid- Sculptra is primarily used for facial rejuvenation and the treatment of wrinkles and facial volume loss. It works by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein that helps provide structure and support to the skin. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles and loss of facial volume. By injecting Sculptra into specific areas of the face, it helps stimulate collagen production, resulting in a gradual increase in skin thickness and improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
Unlike some other fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually over time. Multiple treatment sessions are usually required, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired outcome. The results of Sculptra injections can last up to two years or longer, depending on the individual.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Sculptra, such as injection site reactions, swelling, bruising, and the possibility of nodules or lumps forming under the skin. It’s crucial to discuss your expectations, medical history, and any concerns with a healthcare provider before undergoing treatment with Sculptra or any other cosmetic procedure.
Sculptra is administered using a needle and a cannula with numbing cream and lidocaine for patient comfort.
