What
are the benefits of Sculptra™?
Facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy, is the loss of fat beneath
the skin, which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and
hollow eyes. Sculptra™ is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible
material that provides a gradual and significant increase in
skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken
areas. No skin testing is required.
What are the treatments like?
Treatments with Sculptra™ take 15-30 minutes and are
performed in your doctor’s office. A topical anesthetic
cream may be applied to the treatment area or you may elect
to have local anesthesia. Then, using a small needle, Sculptra™
is placed beneath the surfaced of the skin, in the area of
your soft tissue loss.
How many treatments will you need?
During your consultation, the doctor will examine your areas
of soft tissue deficiency and decide the appropriate number
of treatment sessions and estimate the amount of Sculptra™
you will require at each session. Most patients require 1-3
treatment sessions every 6-8 weeks. Severe soft tissue loss
usually requires three to six treatment sessions.
How soon will I see results?
The results from Sculptra™ are not immediate. Sculptra™
provides a gradual increase in soft tissue and skin thickness.
However, the effects of Sculptra™ are long-lasting.
Your doctor may want to see you again in a few weeks to decide
if additional injections are needed. Touch-up treatments may
be needed to maintain effects.
