Just like any other vital organ, our skin needs our care and attention. Due to its unique ability to recuperate itself, we often tend to forget about the damages our skin suffers. However, as time passes by, carrying the happiest moments of our lives, random smiles or teardrops, cherished memories or deepest sorrows, our skin endures tremendous changes. Thankfully, those transitions do not happen overnight, but if we pay close attention, we can see subtle changes that occur between our 20s, 30, and 40s, as we gradually loose the astonishing qualities nature had granted our beautiful skin, such as its elasticity and texture.
In addition to the loss of elasticity, our skin also loses tremendous volume; it literally deflates, and the beautiful triangle of a young face sags and inverts over time. The changes in bone cause further hollowing and sagging of our skin, leading to pronounced nasolabial folds and jowls. Instead of waiting until our 50, 60s, and 70s, and going under the knife for a surgical facelift, we now have a unique ability to turn back the clock with collagen-stimulating fillers – a novel class of molecules that “wake up” the collagen producing cells in our skin and can knock off five to 10 years in a matter of 4 to 6 months.
One example of the skin’s process of rebuilding itself is Sculptra Aesthetic. It is unique, non-invasive collagen-stimulating filler that reverses the process of aging by stimulating the production of lost collagen in our skin. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades. It helps to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, giving you a more natural-looking appearance. Sculptra is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of volume loss, stimulating a lift of sagging areas and an improvement in skin tone and appearance. This process has been referred as the liquid face-lift. Although the lost volume can be replaced with the regular hyaluronic acids, there are two downsides to using hyaluronic acid gels as opposed to the collagen-stimulators (Sculptra being the primary example). The longevity of hyaluronic acid gels is approximately 1 year versus Sculptra’s duration of 24 to 30 months, and while the longest acting hyaluronic acid gel, Juvederm Voluma, can last up to two years, these traditional fillers do not cause collagen production as opposed to Sculptra.
Sculptra, made from micronized suture material, can also treat the aging chest and hands most effectively with long term results.
After only a few treatment sessions, the effects of Sculptra are outstandingly visible. According to clinical studies, rejuvenation lasts for up to two years after the first treatment session in most patients. Sculptra is not a miracle. It is a safe and effective medical treatment to restore our skin, and it begins with a doctor visit. Restore your health and inner beauty by visiting us at www.khrommd.com.
