What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is now available at Dr Conlon’s Aesthetic Clinic.
So what is it?
Sculptra works completely differently to dermal fillers. The main ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which works by stimulating your body’s fibroblasts, which are the cells that produce collagen. By stimulating these, we’re restoring your own collagen and getting right into the root causes of sagging skin.
The benefits of Sculptra include the softening of deep wrinkles, improved skin firmness, plumper skin and extremely long-lasting results.
How Does The Procedure Work?
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that works as a more natural way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It doesn’t change the face (like a dermal filler would) and it doesn’t change the way the face moves.
It’s a powder that is diluted with water and local anesthetic by your clinician. This forms a solution that is injected in a series of small injections to target the area. The poly-L-lactic acid then begins to work – stimulating your body’s fibroblasts to produce your natural collagen. Results begin to show within 2 weeks and completing in around 8 weeks. The results can last between 22-25 months.
Post Procedure Skin Care
The rule of 5 is post-procedure aftercare – massage 5 times per day for 5 minutes per day for 5 days! Aside from this, normal skin care and activities can resume on the day following treatment.
Prices start at around £450 per treatment.
