Sculptra

Sculptra is a synthetic poly-L-lactic acid injectable filler used to improve the look of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as volumize shallow contours on the face for those with facial volume loss. It works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production process resulting in more natural-looking enhancements.

The effects of Sculptra treatment can last up to two years before additional treatments will be needed in order to maintain desired results.

Results will begin showing within 6 weeks after being injected as it takes time for stimulating collagen production and can last up to two years with proper care and maintenance.

There may be some small bruising or swelling at the injection site which should subside within 1 to 2 days after treatment. Other than that, Sculptra does not put the body at risk for any allergic reactions or infections. Patients should avoid strenuous activities and always wear sunscreen whenever outside in order to protect their skin from sun damage and help with the longevity of their results.

The key difference between Sculptra and hyaluronic acid fillers is that Sculptra stimulates the body’s own collagen production process resulting in more natural-looking enhancements, while hyaluronic acid fillers work by immediately filling and smoothing wrinkles. Additionally, the effects of Sculptra can last up to two years while hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 months to a year.

It depends on the individual needs of each patient as both options have their own advantages. Sculptra is a great choice for those seeking to non-surgically have a more youthful appearance and restore facial volume, while fillers are great for those who need immediate results that last 6 months to a year. Ultimately, it’s best to discuss with Dr. Ibrahim to determine which option is best for you.
