Sculptra®

What is
Sculptra®?

Are you looking for a longer lasting soloution to correct your lost facial volume or skin depressions ? Or perhaps you are looking for a non-surgical treatment to fill in your hip dips or add volume and curvature to your buttocks? Toronto Cosmetic Clinic offers Sculptra®- an injectable sugar polymer that supports your own collagen growth over time for longer lasting results when compared to hyaluronic acid based fillers. Natural looking results can last up to 2 years!

Sculptra® is composed of a volumizing agent known as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)- which is a sugar polymer. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance, the same material that is used in dissolvable sutures.

The injection of Sculptra® initiates the body’s own natural collagen production and then over time the PLLA fades, and is then replaced by the body’s own collagen. Facial wrinkles are softened and depressions in the skin are filled.

Sculptra® is suitable for both men and women over the age of 19, with healthy immune systems. It also contains lidocaine to make treatments more comfortable. A typical treatment will take about 30-60 minutes in clinic.

How Sculptra® helps improve wrinkles, deep folds and lost facial volume

Aging causes a reduction of collagen production in the dermal layer of the skin which helps contribute to folds and wrinkles. As we age lines can become more apparent. Sculptra® is FDA and Health Canada approved for the correction of skin depressions such as scars, folds, wrinkles, and hollowness that can be seen on the face and body.

How Sculptra® Helps to
Enhance the Buttocks

Sculptra® can also be used on the hips and buttocks to help smooth out any imperfections, such as cellulite and indentations that may have resulted naturally or from liposuction and/ or fat transfer. Sculptra® can uniquely and subtly improve buttocks contours by adding volume to any areas that are depressed or flat, and smooth out any areas where there is dimpling in the skin. Sculptra® is not a replacement for a Brazilian Butt Lift, as it will subtly add volume, however it can give the appearance of a lift when Sculptra® is injected into the upper portion of the buttocks.

How Sculptra® Helps Acne Scarring

Inflammation from acne, can lead to irregular healing and loss of collagen, resulting in a depression in the skin. When many depressions or sunken scars appear this can give the look of an uneven skin surface. This can be a source of emotional distress and embarrassment. In patients over the age of 19, Sculptra® can help improve moderate to severe atrophic facial acne scars. Sculptra® is injected beneath the acne scarring to help lift the surrounding skin.

What is poly-L-lactic acid?

Sculptra® vs. Temporary Fillers

Sculptra® is not classified as a dermal filler as it does not immediately “fill” in the treated area. Sculptra® works with your body to promote natural collagen production. Temporary fillers, such as Juvederm can last 6-18 months and require more injections over time. Temporary fillers, that are hyaluronic acid based, are absorbed by the body through natural processing which is why they do not last as long as Sculptra®. Sculptra® helps to restore and support your body’s own collagen production rather than temporarily filling in depressions and lines in the skin. Both Sculptra® and temporary fillers are used to restore or add volume, smooth out the skin and reverse some of the signs of aging. Results of Sculptra® are not immediate and can take up to two months to be seen.

Who is not a Candidate for Sculptra®?

Anyone who has a history of irregular scarring, such as keloid and hypertrophic scarring may not be a candidate for Sculptra®. Also any individual who has an allergy to lidocaine is not a candidate.
