Sculptra

 

Sculptra is a bio-compatible synthetic material, also known as ‘Poly-L-lactic acid’ and has different utilities such as soft tissue implants, diffusible stitch ups and several other types of embedding. Sculptra is injected just below the surface of the skin where loss of fat occurs. Injection of Sculptra gradually helps in augmenting the developing of skin deepness. In fact, Sculptra enables a trained physician to literally ‘sculpt’ a patient’s face by restoring the normal facial outline and removing the creases, folds and wrinkles that occur due to aging. Sculptra is made from fruit acids and invigorates the body to produce its own collagen Sculptra is basically a non-insidious cosmetic dermatology alternative that has been prepared to repair and fill the depressed skin areas.  Sculptra leads to a more complete, smoother and normal face with least touch-up treatments. And unlike the traditional healings, the results of Sculptra treatment can last up to two years.

 

 

Sculptra is a popular treatment for correcting the facial contours as well as removing wrinkles, creases and folds on the skin owing to aging. In addition, Sculptra is also useful for curing the back of the hands for removing lines and creases and diminishing the manifestation of protruding veins. It can also be used to treat the upper chest area and for healing indentations that might occur after liposuction. It is important to note that Sculptra is not derived from any animal source and hence does not require a skin test before usage. People placing orders for Sculptra from the United States require a valid prescription.

 

 

Sculptra is injected in small measures with the help of tiny and very fine needles by a qualified medical practitioner or trained healthcare provider. It is important to use a local anesthetic to reduce the pain of the injection. However, the treatment may differ depending on the individual. The results of the Sculptra treatment are not visible immediately, but it takes some time before the healing process may be complete. Although a patient may believe that the therapy has been successful owing to the swelling at the site of the injection, such conditions disappear soon. Tests have shown that the results of Sculptra treatment may last up to two years, but in many cases additional session with lesser duration is desirable for better results. In some cases of severe fat loss, the patients may require four to eight therapy sessions. Each Sculptra treatment session normally lasts for 20 to 30 minutes.

 

 

Sculptra therapy is not prescribed for people who may be enduring hypersensitivity to any of the elements in the drug. In addition, Sculptra should never be administered in areas with active skin contagion or inflammation. After each Sculptra therapy session a patient needs to systematically massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times daily, for five days to enable the even distribution of the product. This is also necessary for natural-looking results. Patients should not expose themselves to too much sunlight and ultra violet rays until initial swelling and redness after the Sculptra therapy has diminished.

 

 

There may be some swelling at the injection site after a Sculptra therapy session. The swelling may be reduced by rubbing ice cubes or with a cold compress on the treatment area. Side effects of Sculptra treatment may also include redness and pain at the injection site. These conditions may persist from a few days to 20 days after the treatment. Another possible delayed side effect of Sculptra treatment is the presence of small bumps beneath the skin in the treated area. These bumps may not be visible, but can be felt. Normally, such conditions appear between the sixth and twelfth day of taking the treatment and they usually disappear on their own.
