Sculptra Aesthetic is a process through which you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and loss of fat in the face. This largely happens because of weight loss or even the natural process of losing collagen which can leave a person with indentations, sunken cheeks, and hollow eyes, producing a very gaunt appearance.
With this process, you can walk away with a new, younger appearance. Before you get it done though, take some time to understand what Sculptra does for your skin. This can help you feel more confident about choosing this procedure for your face.
How does it Work?
Sculptra is a synthetic version of poly-L-lactic acid, which is not only compatible with the body but is slowly bio-degradable as well. Not only does it reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it also actively works with your body to re-start and boost the production of collagen, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles and adding volume the hollow areas on your face. Compared to other alternatives, Sculptra has proven to be extremely effective, helping counter years of collagen loss and boost production of collagen by working naturally with your body.
Side Effects and Risks
While Sculptra has been approved by the FDA and has been used internationally since 1999, it can still produce certain side effects and does come with risks if administered improperly.
Minor side effects can range from:
- Pain at the site of injection
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Bleeding
- Tenderness
- Itching
- Small lumps
Severe side effects include:
- Inflammation with lumps
- Skin infection
- Skin loss
- Necrosis
- Granuloma
- Hematoma
- Allergic reaction to poly-L-lactic acid or other ingredients in Sculptra
As Good as the Physician You Choose
Always get Sculptra done by a plastic surgeon or skilled dermatologist. A large majority of the side effects as well as failed Sculptra procedures happen because of inexperienced physicians.
Moreover, work with an experienced surgeon only as injecting Sculptra into the right areas of the face is necessary to produce the required results successfully. In the wrong hands, Sculptra can end up worsening someone’s facial condition or worse, trigger severe side effects which could raise concerns for your health.
A good plastic surgeon will be sure to share all the information you need in order to ensure that you are making the right decision regarding injectable fillers for your skin. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the process or get your skin evaluated in detail. It’s your face after all, so don’t look for cheap alternatives or quick fixes when considering skin rejuvenation.
