Because Sculptra stimulates the body to produce collagen, there are a few places on the face where it cannot be used. Sculptra cannot be used to prevent frown lines on the forehead. It is also not used around the mouth area, lips or the eyes. Schedule Your Age-Reversing Consultation Today!
The areas commonly treated with Sculptra® include: the temples, the mid cheek region and the lower face for hollowing, depressions, fine lines and jowling. Sculptra® can be evenly distributed in all of these areas or focused injections can be performed in specific target regions.
This ingredient has the ability to relax facial muscles that cause your skin to wrinkle and fold. These injectable products can improve your forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. These injections often take less than ten minutes to perform, and your results are likely to last for three to four months.
If you want to improve the look of your forehead, fillers are a minimally invasive alternative to facelifts. Although well known in their use for plumping your pout, enhancing your cheekbones, and as an alternative to rhinoplasty, face fillers are also commonly used as an anti-ageing treatment on the forehead.
Do not inject into the red area (vermillion) of the lip. SCULPTRA Aesthetic should be injected into the deep dermis. Superficial injections may be associated with increased local adverse events such as nodules and papules.
Several side effects have been linked to Sculptra, including scarring, skin discoloration, nodules, lumps and granulomas. The product label says serious granulomas usually occur several months after injection, sometimes more than a year later.
Sculptra should not be used by those who are allergic to any ingredient of Sculptra, including poly-L-lactic acid, carboxymethylcellulose, and nonpyrogenic mannitol. Sculptra should not be injected while there is an infection or inflammation in the treatment area.
Fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, are the most popular choice for patients. In the area that is injected, the ingredient plumps out where the wrinkles may occur. Some see fillers as a healthier option than Botox. Dermal fillers rely on strong hyaluronic acid to work.
Fillers typically last longer than BOTOX in most cases, but a filler may or may not give you the long-lasting results you would want for forehead lines. The lines can be smoothed with fillers, but in most cases, BOTOX is a superior choice for forehead lines.
As a member of the dermal fillers category, this therapy can lift jowls. We may start by injecting it into the cheeks and temples to fully rejuvenate your appearance.
Sculptra, a semi-permanent poly-L-lactic acid filler, can be suitable for both situations, offering correction of facial lipoatrophy in aging and youthful skin types by providing roundness and fullness to sagging or hallowed areas.
Sculptra has several applications, from smoothing facial wrinkles to augmenting the cheeks. The final results of the treatment will easily last two years, but some people enjoy the final results of the treatment for five years.
Sculptra can also help your skin to become thicker at the treatment sites. As the collagen builds in these areas the skin becomes stronger and more youthful. Hollow areas of the face can give an older appearance.
Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to naturally reduce the deep lines and folds on your face and is particularly effective in reducing “smile” lines and chin wrinkles. Sculptra® is delivered deep into the dermis, where strands of collagen support the skin.
One of the big benefits of Sculptra Aesthetic is how long the results last once they are visible. Typically, the results from a dermal filler fade after a year or so. The results from Sculptra last two years. In some cases, the results last longer than two years.
Different areas of the face require different amounts of units. For example, the crow's feet by the eyes requires between 10-15 units per side, the glabella between the eyebrows requires between 20-30 units and the forehead between 10 to 20 units.
Try Retinoids, the Ultimate Skin-Plumping and Firming Superheroes. Among all the available products, if there's one you buy, make it a retinoid. “A daily sunscreen and nightly retinoid can actually prevent the need for injectables,” says Lauren Ploch, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Aiken, South Carolina.
Never apply bronzer to your forehead to make it look larger. Instead you can use a highlighter on top of your brow bone to accentuate the area. Back to making it look smaller, you can also get some side bangs to add some dimension and bring the focus to the center of your face.
SCULPTRA Aesthetic must not be implanted into blood vessels. Implantation of SCULPTRA Aesthetic into dermal vessels may cause vascular occlusion, infarction or embolic phenomena.
With retrospective analysis, people who developed granulomas after Sculptra injections were disproportionately more likely to have an autoimmune disease than ones without granulomas. In reality, very few people actually develop granulomas.
It is also important to note that since Sculptra is designed to go away over time, 95% of these tiny lumps also disappear over time with no treatment. If bothersome to patients, these lumps can be easily treated.
If you are looking for a more natural way to improve the appearance of your skin, and if you are seeking a more natural result, than I would say yes, it is worth the money. It's important to remember that you could need 2-3 treatments spread a month apart to get the BEST results.
When Used Together. Ultherapy and Sculptra work synergistically with each other. While Sculptra adds volume to the face, Ultherapy lifts and tightens the skin. Both modalities stimulate collagen production, so there's a definite advantage to having both.
Sculptra is the key to plumping hollow cheeks and sunken under eyes. It also improves the thickness of skin, taking thin and aging skin to firmer, more youthful looking skin. Since it works with your body's own collagen to help it produce more, it helps the overall condition of the skin to improve itself.
