Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sculptra? Sculptra is an injectable treatment that acts as a collagen stimulant. It contains poly-L-lactic acid that aids in stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. This ensures your results continue to develop over time, providing natural-looking facial rejuvenation that continues to improve your skin for 6 months after your last treatment session. How does the Sculptra work? The liquid facelift in Cardiff involves injecting Sculptra at strategic points in the face. These points will vary depending on your unique facial anatomy and your needs, but popular areas include the cheeks and the temples. With this kind of overall facial rejuvenation, a consultation is essential to assessing your needs and desired results before Dr Eithne begin treatment. How long will my results last? Because this treatment needs a few sessions at monthly intervals, you could expect to see your non surgical facelift results 2-3 months after your first treatment in Cardiff. These results will then continue to develop over the next 6 months. Every client is different your results may vary, but you could typically expect to see your Sculptra results for around 2-3 years after treatment! Are there any side effects to a non-surgical facelift? There are only minor side effects to a non surgical facelift in Cardiff, which are completely natural and nothing to worry about. These might include minor swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These should subside within 2-3 days of treatment and can be managed with a cold compress for the swelling. You can also minimise the risk of bruising by refraining from alcohol for 2 days either side of your Sculptra treatment.
