DERMAL FILLERS: SCULPTRA

Cutting-Edge Sculptra in Anchorage AK

Sculptra is a cutting-edge, advanced treatment for rejuvenating the face, neck and other areas approved by your provider.  It has been widely used in Europe since 1999, and was approved by the FDA in 2004 for treatment of facial fat loss and nasolabial folds. 


What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a filler with the active ingredient of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic and biocompatible dermal filler that stimulates your own body to produce lost collagen.  It is unlike other fillers that provide immediate results. Since your body is doing the creating, it needs time to do its thing and the results appear gradually.


Using Sculptra means a need for multiple treatment sessions to build up your own natural collagen. The results will last an average of two years!


Some may consider the gradual results a drawback. BUT there are benefits to a slow and steady change in appearance!  Your results will emerge with a natural, youthful-looking finish without exposing your secrets! It is decidedly the only treatment available that consistently creates original yet revitalized facial contours without exposing your method of retaining your youthful glow.  AND the improvements you experience will be long-lasting. Sculptra may last up to two years under your skin! Most patients will notice changes a few weeks after their injections, although the timing is of course dependent on the individual.

Science of SCULPTRA

The first thing to understand is that collagen, which sits just below the outer layer of skin, is the true "living layer". Collagen is actually a fibrous protein and takes up the same space with elastin. Collagen is responsible for the structure and support of the outer layer, while elastin is responsible for the elasticity - the  "bounce back" effect of the skin.


Over time, and as a result of other external factors such as chemical and sun exposure, the collagen begins to break down and our bodies make less and less of it. This results in sagging skin and wrinkles. THIS is why Sculptra - which generates collagen production -  is is a game changer!


Sculptra is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable implant that contains micro-particles of  poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic polymer from the  alpha-hydroxy-acid  family. Prior to injection, it is reconstituted with sterile water and  lidocaine (a numbing agent). This forms a mixture that is well tolerated by the patient.


Poly-L-lactic acid  has been used in surgeries for more than 30 years. This is what is used in absorbable suture material and is used in many plastic surgical procedures. It is also used in bone plates and screws, and is used as a medium for delivering medication. The history proves that Sculptra is safe effective. 


Other Dermal Fillers are gel-like injections that add volume to the face. They can fill out wrinkles, soften folds, add contours and definition to specified areas, … they also hydrate your skin, making it more supple. The change  can be seen almost immediately.


With SCULPTRA - it stimulates your own body to create more of the natural filler that is already there, and was there in abundance in your youth.
