If you have a healthy immune system and are in overall fine physical health, you could be a good candidate for Sculptra Aesthetic anti-aging treatments. An injectable liquid comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra Aesthetic starts to create subtle results in your skin over the span of several weeks. Expect to see the full results of the treatments over several months.
The purpose of the non-invasive facelift is to help the body produce new collagen, replacing collagen that has been lost over the course of many years. Additional primary candidates for a Sculptra Aesthetic treatment are between 35 and 60 years old. In addition to reducing the numbers of fine lines on the face, Sculptra Aesthetic can also fill out hollow facial areas and improve skin texture.
For example, some people receive the treatments to enhance skin tone and elasticity. Other people receive Sculptra Aesthetic treatments to get a fuller look following a major weight loss. Sunken eyes, indents around the chin area and sunken or hollow cheeks are major conditions people use the injections to treat. Not only can the injections temporarily slow down the aging process, they can also boost your self-esteem, helping you to feel better about yourself as you look in mirrors or receive feedback from colleagues, family and friends.
After the injections are made, Sculptra Aesthetic starts working below the skin, in the dermis layer. Because the results are subtle, increasing over time as you receive additional injections during a complete treatment cycle, you can maintain a natural appearance with Sculptra fillers. Additionally, results of the injections can last for up to two years.
If your face has a decent amount of volume, your injector might only use a minimal amount of the filler. For more extensive work, you can expect to receive several injections before the entire treatment is complete, a process that, again, could take several months. That means, you would start noticing results after the first injection, continue to see results following additional injections, then maintain a more youthful appearance for up to two years after all the injections have been performed. This could equate into enjoying a more youthful appearance for up to two years. After that, you can maintain your look with a yearly touch-up.
Injections should generally not be applied right around the eyes or directly into the lips. If you’re allergic to lidocaine or any other ingredients in Sculptra Aesthetic, you should not receive the treatments. You should also avoid the treatments if you’re pregnant or nursing an infant. Because a local anesthesia is used when the injections are made, the process is fairly pain free. You could feel a pinch when the injections are initially performed. Following the injections, some practitioners may allow you to start wearing make-up right away; other injectors might recommend that you wait two to three days before you start wearing make-up.
Additionally, practitioners approach the treatments differently. For example, some of them will schedule you for three to four injection sessions over the course of five or more months to complete the treatment process. Other injectors might only schedule you for one to two sessions over the course of four weeks. The entire procedure takes anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, but could take up to 60 minutes if extensive work is being performed.
