Sculptra is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to combat ageing. It provides a natural alternative to the face lift which often looks very artificial. In addition, it is less traumatic, and much less invasive, not withstanding the fact there is a reduced risk to the patient because no general anaesthetic is involved.

 
Sculptra is a long-lasting, biocompatible substance that is injected into the face, quite similar to the way in which dermal fillers are administered; however Sculptra provides a gradual natural reduction in your unwanted facial wrinkles and lines. It differs from dermal filler in that the effect is more gradual, unlike dermal filler where the effect is seen immediately after dermal filler treatment.This is a great anti-ageing treatment.

 
Working on the deeper skin layers Sculptra smoothes and firms, giving a greatly improved facial appearance, often avoiding the need for a face lift in patients with extremely advanced wrinkling and lines. Sculptra has been developed for facial contouring treatment. Circa 15,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Sculptra since 1999. The main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, has been used for over 20 years in surgical procedures.

 
If you have tried many anti wrinkle creams or anti wrinkle eye creams, and have come to the realization that these anti ageing creams simply cost a lot of money and leave you disappointed then you many wish to consider this exciting new product.Sculptra is a non-invasive natural volumising product designed to replenish and re-contour the ageing face. It is designed to naturally stimulate collagen production within the deep facial layers and this occurs over a period of time, reducing wrinkles and lines and replenishing youth to your face. By stimulating the bodies own natural collagen production over a period of time, lost volume is replenished and the skin looks more youthful.

 
An ideal treatment if you have lost weight or volume in your face, or if your appearance is not as youthful as you feel. This product can treat smoker’s lips and is an effective treatment for more advanced facial lines and wrinkles.  Sculptra is also an excellent option for volumising hollow cheeks.

 
Prior to any treatment you must have an initial consultation with a qualified Sculptra practitioner to discuss your expectations, and ensure Sculptra is the correct treatment for you. Normally 3-4 treatments are required to achieve desired results. A series of small injections are delivered into the treatment area by a highly trained Sculptra aesthetic specialist. No allergy test is needed prior to treatment because this product is an immunologically inert substance. On completion of your course of treatment the results have been proven to last for up to 2 years. The risk of your body rejecting/adversely reacting to Sculptra is nil because it is non reactionary. Tenderness, bruising, swelling, redness or bleeding at the injection site is common side effects.
