Sculptra

Sculptra is bridging the gap between invasive surgery and non-surgical facial contouring.

One of the things that most compels people to visit a cosmetic aesthetic practitioner is concern about facial ageing. Over time skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearence - a natural result of the ageing process. Skin starts to become loose and begins to wrinkle and the fat tissue that helps to fill out the face is lost. The reduction in skin volume may make facial features begin to look thin and narrow, sometimes giving the impression the face is older than it actually is.

While dermal fillers, such as Collagen, Restylane and Juvederm offer an effective non surgical option for clients, until recently the only way to noticeably improve the shape of the face was through invasive surgical procedures like face lifts and fat grafting.

Sculptra is designed to go one step further and close the gap between surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. As it fills and lifts sagging skin by restoring volume, it is the answer for men and women seeking an alternative to more invasive treatments such as plastic surgery.

It is designed for facial sculpting and, in particular, to increase definition in the cheek bones and to restore facial volume where the cheeks have become hollow as a result of ageing or loss of fatty tissue. Sculptra can be used as a stand-alone treatment or alongside dermal fillers.

Where should Sculptra be used :

• Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
• Folds around the corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
• Wrinkling in cheeks or chin
• Sunken cheeks
• Deep scars

Sculptra has long-lasting results which can be seen for up to three years
