How does Sculptra® Aesthetic work?
It is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. Sculptra®Aesthetic provides a gradual increase in skin thickness by stimulating regrowth of you own soft tissue or collagen. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions. Sculptra® Aesthetic will not correct the underlying cause of the facial fat loss, but will help improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area.
Do I need a skin test before being treated?
No skin testing is required prior to use.
Are the results immediate?
No, results are gradual and take 8 to 10 months to see final results. However, we often see early responses within 6 to 8 weeks.
How long do Sculptra® Aesthetic treatments last?
The results usually last up to 2 years and often can extend to 3 to 4 years. When the results begin to wear off, it is a gradual process which can be reversed by a small amount of Sculptra® Aesthetic.
