The Sculptra® Aesthetic Injection Procedure
Sculptra® Aesthetic should only be used by a trained practitioner. During the appointment, Sculptra® will be injected into the desired treatment areas. Three to six treatment sessions will be prescribed over the course of several months, depending on your personalized treatment plan and desired outcome. To minimize discomfort, a topical anesthetic may be used on the injection site. Immediately after each treatment session, you may experience swelling. Swelling usually subsides within a few days, and the wrinkles may temporarily reappear as the gradual process of collagen replacement continues. Treatments take approximately half an hour, but may take longer for larger or multiple treatment areas.
Sculptra Body Treatments
Cellulite is very common, and it affects women of all shapes and sizes. Even if you are very fit, cellulite can be hereditary and it does not always respond to diet and exercise. Sculptra injections are an effective and minimally invasive treatment option for cellulite on the thighs, arms, buttocks, or anywhere you would like to smooth away dimples. Sculptra works to diminish the appearance of cellulite by encouraging new collagen production to fill in the gaps in connective tissue that cause cellulite.
What Happens After My Sculptra® Aesthetic Injection?
Most patients experience minimal swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, and negligible bleeding at the treatment site after a cosmetic injection like Sculptra®, but those side effects resolve quickly over a matter of hours. Patients can return to normally scheduled activities as soon as they finish their appointment, and some even opt to come in during their lunch break. 80% of Sculptra® users were still satisfied with their treatment 25 months after their last treatment1, and most begin to see progressive results within several weeks after the first treatment session and the subsequent sessions thereafter as more collagen is replaced. Sculptra® results can last up to two years.
