 Rejuvenate
your face with Sculptra™
Your face ... is the first thing that people notice about you.
But when your appearance no longer reflects how you feel on the
inside, it may be time for a change.
 In
time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance. This
is the result of a natural ageing process. In time, your skin is
damaged, becomes thinner or loses its natural elasticity. As a result,
it becomes loose and starts to wrinkle. Fat tissue which also helps
to fill out your face, is lost. This reduction in skin volume can
make your face look thin and narrow so that you may possibly look
older than you are. Fortunately, Sculptra™ can help to smooth
out lines and wrinkles, and restore the lost volume in a natural
way.
Improve your appearance with Sculptra™
With poly-L-lactic acid Sculptra™, you can restore facial
contour and get rid of disturbing lines and wrinkles without surgery.
Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Sculptra™, has
been used successfully in surgical procedures for more than 25 years,
among others for bioresorbable sutures, in bone plates and screws,
and as a medium for medication. Sculptra™ has been specially
developed to repair contour defects in the face. About 150,000 patients
have been treated since 1999 world-wide. Sculptra™ is long-lasting
and biocompatible and biodegradable.
Unlike surgical options, Sculptra™ can provide gradual, natural-looking
results through less traumatic treatment. The most common side effects
with the use of Sculptra™ include injection-related side effects
at the site of injection such as bleeding, tenderness or pain, redness,
bruising, or swelling. These effects generally last, on average,
2-6 days. A clinical study has shown that the aesthetic improvements
obtained with Sculptra™ have persisted for up to 2 years in
many patients!
How Sculptra™ works
Sculptra™ works in the lower layers of the skin in order
to smooth and firm the treated areas of the face. Sculptra™
is a unique substance which is gradually and naturally broken down
by the body. Sculptra™ is immunologically inert, so that no
allergy tests are necessary before beginning with treatment.
The number of necessary injections depends on many different factors.
After the first treatment, your practitioner will recommend whether
you need any subsequent treatments and how many these should be.
Generally, several treatments can be necessary to obtain the required
results. However, in contrast to some other treatments which require
frequent refresher sessions, after the end of your Sculptra™
programme the results will last up to 2 years.*
* The results can differ depending on age, wrinkling and the type
of procedure used.
For whom is Sculptra™ suitable?
Sculptra™ is intended for patients who want to restore the
contours of their face or compensate for gradual signs of ageing,
for example loose, wrinkled skin, lines and folds.
