The benefit of Sculptra™
is long lasting and achieved through a simple series of injections into the deeper layers of skin, with each treatment taking
less than 30 minutes. Between 3 and 4 treatment sessions, about 4 to 6
weeks apart, are necessary to produce a very substantial collagen volume to plump up the skin. Contour and volume loss in
the cheeks, temples, chin, glabella, and eye areas are restored gradually over a few weeks to months as the body forms new
collagen.
Possible side effects include short term bruising, redness, soreness, and slight
swelling. Long term small deposits can be occasionally felt by touching, but are rarely visible. Unlike other absorbable “fillers”
that last only a few months, the benefits of Sculptra™ volume enhancement are long lasting.
