Sculptra Fort Lauderdale

Aging is a process of life. And usually, it shows more on the face. We often begin to notice its effects from the age of 40, when wrinkles, grooves, and sunspots begin to appear.

And it is the collagen that has a lot to do with this aging process. Collagen acts as a support structure for the skin that provides volume and firmness to our skin. However, with the pass of the years, the production of collagen begins to decrease.

Sculptra Fort Lauderdale

With our Sculptra Fort Lauderdale treatment, you can recover the natural beauty of your skin. If you start to notice sagging skin, then it may be time to try Sculptra in Fort Lauderdale. Sculptra is an aesthetic treatment that aims to eliminate not only sagging skin but also wrinkles and signs of aging that, over time, is beginning to notice.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable material, also known as poly-L-lactic acid that naturally stimulates and helps your cells to produce your collagen. Sculptra gives you a more youthful and natural-looking appearance. This treatment also refreshes your appearance by restoring the skin's natural contours and smoothing wrinkles, and creases.

Sculptra for Cellulite Treatment

Sculptra for cellulite is injected under the dimpled areas of cellulite and placed at the same level as the surrounding skin. For best results, some doctors combine Sculptra with Cellfina, an FDA-approved cellulite treatment. Sculptra can produce excellent results in cellulite, but it is not considered a first-line treatment option. The most common treatments for cellulite include subcision (the technique used in Cellfina), Thermage, and laser treatments.

Sculptra Benefits

The advantage of this product is that the wrinkle filler is achieved by the formation of its collagen, stimulated by polylactic acid and not by the direct effect of the injected product.

Another of its most favorable characteristics is the toxicity of the product.

Finally, polylactic acid can infiltrate people who have already received some of the previous implants. There is no problem, as long as the last product is not recently injected.

Sculptra Filler Procedure

Before the administration of Sculptra injection, the Sculptra suspension may be diluted with lidocaine to reduce the discomfort of the needle. The Sculptra suspension is injected with a very fine gauge syringe. Unlike other dermal injectables, it is injected under, not into the skin.

Another difference between other fillers and Sculptra is that it is placed under a facial defect, as opposed to the "punctual" placement of the other fillers under a wrinkle or line.

Right after the treatment, the treated areas are massaged for a few minutes in order to distribute the Sculptra suspension evenly. This massage helps prevent the formation of lumps or nodules under the skin.

Side effects and risks

It is common to feel some swelling and to bruise at the Sculptra injection site. Other common side effects include:

  • Redness.
  • Bleeding.
  • Itch.
  • Bumps.

You should know that some people may develop lumps under the skin and skin discoloration. In a 2015 study, the reported incidence of nodule formation associated with Sculptra was 7 to 9 percent.

Sculptra should not be used by people with a history of irregular scars or anyone allergic to Sculptra's ingredients. It should not be used at the site of skin sores, acne, cysts, skin rashes, or other skin inflammation.

Cost of Sculptra Fort Lauderdale

The Sculptra cost per treatment ranges between $600 and $3,600. Depending on each patient, the number of Sculptra sessions needed will vary, as will the cost. Some patients will respond more quickly than others to Sculptra injections or have lost less facial fat until the time of Sculptra treatment.

Questions & Answers

Who is a candidate for treatment with Sculptra?

Healthy adults who have no contraindication to receiving Sculptra injections are the most common candidates. Also, people with the following facial defects may benefit from treatment with Sculptra: lipoatrophy (excessive fat loss), wrinkles, facial lines, folds, furrows, puppet lines (which pull down the corners of the mouth), nasolabial folds, and hollows.

For some people, treatment with Sculptra is painful, while others do not feel pain or any discomfort. It is an individual matter.

The real results of treatment with Sculptra take weeks to months to fully manifest. After four to six weeks is a reasonable estimate of the time it takes for Sculptra treatment to be present.

Treatment with Sculptra implies a minimum downtime. In general, you can resume your normal daily activities as soon as the procedure is finished, although some prefer to wait for the inflammation or redness to disappear.

From 25-30 to prevent sagging, and to improve the appearance in the area of the eye bags, until any age. Younger people use it to improve the area of cheekbones and 'dark circles,' while in more advanced ages for the whole face in general and also neck, neckline, and hands.

Be sure to indicate your complete medical history to your doctor. You should not use Sculptra if you are allergic to any ingredient or allergic to local anesthesia. Also, Sculptra should not be injected if you have an active skin infection or inflammation in the area of the skin to be treated.

The results of Sculptra are very durable - up to two years or more - compared to the duration of several months of the effects of other fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, Cosmoplast, and collagen.

There is almost no risk of having an allergic reaction to Sculptra because its main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is synthesized from lactic acid, which is a substance that is present in the human body. Therefore, there is a small risk of an allergic reaction to some other aspect of treatment with Sculptra, such as the cleaner used to prepare the area to be treated.

Sculptra treatment can be injected into areas such as the abdomen, where Sculptra is applied to improve the sagging of the belly of women after pregnancy, and the skin is strengthened. Also, in the thighs, where the appearance of the skin changes and the sagging improves considerably. Cellulite in this area almost disappears. And finally, on the face, hands, and neck. Sculptra has been used on the face for years and also has an impressive result of rejuvenation; as it stimulates the production of collagen, it also helps reduce spots, wrinkles, and the skin regains its soft texture and youthful appearance.
