Making A Masterpiece - Sculptra Proves To Be A Collagen Building Miracle Worker
As we age the skin’s structure gradually weakens as dermal collagen breaks down and slows in production, demonstrating that time is not always on our side. Collagen serves as the main structural component of skin. This vital protein maintains its elasticity, firmness, and overall youthful appearance. As the collagen breakdown process continues visible signs of aging become more and more evident in your overall complexion, facial structure, and prominence of fine lines and wrinkles. Sculptra addresses these common concerns by building collagen and thus transforming skin from the inside out. Now thats what I call a biostimulating modern-day renaissance man!
Many commonly used fillers are comprised of the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid (HA) compound. HA-based fillers approach the treatment of aging skin by increasing the volume to an area. Sculptra differs by instead addressing the root of the problem, targeting the natural decrease of collagen production from within the skin’s structure as the body ages. This filler of the future thus combats the underlying cause of aging rather than simply treating the symptoms. By using one’s own natural collagen production, the youthful silhouette of the face is restored naturally and seamlessly. These long-lasting results have been shown to improve skin three to five times longer than more traditional fillers and neurotoxins on the market. HA fillers fill in wrinkles immediately while Sculptra focuses on long term improvement of skin rather than a quick fix. Porto Cosmetic Surgery’s Aesthetic Nurses Maggie and Katy explain that traditional fillers are like leasing a car while collagen-stimulating Sculptra is more like buying it. By increasing collagen production rather than just creating volume, you own renewed skin via the FDA-approved magic of Sculptra.
So how is Sculptra’s magic made? The answer, while a bit hard to pronounce, is actually simple: poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA. Sculptra is the only injectable utilizing PLLA to simulate collagen production in the treatment of aging skin. Through the innovative use of PLLA, Sculptra is able to equip sagging, wrinkled, and volume deficient skin with the tools needed to restore its own inner structure. Sculptra is biocompatible (non harmful to living tissue), biostimulatory (collagen production stimulating), biodegradable (gradually broken down by the body), and nonimmunogenic (does not cause immune system response). Sculptra truly checks all the aesthetic injectable boxes.
Sculptra improves facial folds, wrinkles and lines while simultaneously building volume along the cheeks, chin, and jawline area. Other commonly treated areas like hollow temporal depressions and deep set nasolabial folds show that Sculptra can go where other fillers cannot in restoring the youthful contours of the face. The results maximize the effects of other skin treatments such as HA fillers, Botox, Skinpen microneedling, and even the Hydrafacial thus further protecting your investment in your skin.
The number of recommended treatments can vary depending on the patient’s age, metabolism, and overall skin goals and aesthetic needs. Typical Sculptra treatment timelines include three injections spaced three to four weeks apart and results can continue to improve over the course of the following months. As with any injectable, bruising and swelling can occur in the immediate days following injections but overall there is no downtime with this non-invasive injectable.
Sculpting a youthful and rejuvenated look from within the skin is made possible by Sculptra’s innovative approach. So let the highly qualified staff of Porto Cosmetic Surgery in Fishers, Indiana assist in maintaining your magnum opus and truly shine. Schedule your complimentary consultation today!
