If you’re tired of using injectable treatments that wear off after a few months, you’re in luck. At Premiere Aesthetics in Fort Myers, Florida, we can enhance your skin in a more lasting manner with Sculptra Aesthetic. This fantastic injectable treatment can smooth your wrinkles for more than two years. Read on to learn more about this innovative cosmetic treatment.
What Is Sculptra Aesthetic?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. This FDA-approved treatment can be used to minimize wrinkles and lines. It can also add volume to your face. Since this treatment works gradually, your improvements will look natural and sophisticated.
How It Works
This injectable treatment enhances your appearance by strengthening the structure of your skin. Many injectable treatments use substances like hyaluronic acid to add volume to your skin. Although these treatments are very effective, they create instant changes in your appearance that can look jarring or unnatural. In contrast, Sculptra Aesthetic uses an innovative process that produces natural-looking, gradual improvements in your skin.
Improving Your Collagen Levels
This product contains microparticles of a substance called poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA. Once we administer the product into your target area, the microparticles in the solution will jump-start your body’s production of a protein called collagen. This fibrous protein strengthens the structure of your skin and helps it stay tight and wrinkle-free.
Over the next several months, your body will begin to create more collagen. As your collagen levels improve, your skin will become more youthful-looking and smooth. In addition, your wrinkles and fine lines will be minimized.
What Issues Can This Treatment Improve?
This treatment is very good at minimizing fine lines and wrinkles on your face. For example, we can use this treatment to erase lines around your nose and mouth. We can also use this product to minimize wrinkles on your chin.
Will My Injections Take a Long Time to Administer?
Since your injections can be administered fairly quickly, you don’t need to set aside a long period of time for your appointment. Instead, your treatment will usually take less than an hour to complete.
How Long Will My Recovery Period Be?
This treatment has a very quick recovery period, and you don’t need to schedule any time off from your job or other duties. Although you can return to your usual routine right after your appointment, you should follow some easy rules while your body is adjusting to your treatment. In particular, for the first twenty-four hours after your appointment, you should periodically apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to your face.
You can also improve your results by regularly massaging your face and avoiding excessive exposure to sunlight. After we administer your injections, we will give you more instructions about how to accomplish these goals.
How Many Appointments Will I Need?
Your treatment will be designed to address your aesthetic objectives in a safe, comfortable fashion. Although your plan will be unique, it’s normal to receive three injection sessions. We will space out your appointments over a period of three to four months.
How Long Does This Injectable Product Last?
This product is one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available today. Although your individual results will vary, it’s common for the improvements in your skin to last for more than two years. In fact, in a clinical trial, 80% of people were still satisfied with their improvements after twenty-five months.
When Will I See Positive Changes in the Appearance of My Wrinkles?
Since this treatment works gradually, it’s a good idea to take photographs of your face before you receive your injections. Comparing these photographs with images taken at a later date will help you track the improvements in your face.
Since you might respond more or less quickly to your injections than other people, your individual results will vary. That said, it’s common to see the full effect of your injections within a couple of months.
Will My Results Look Artificial?
This treatment will not make your face look frozen, unnatural, or stiff. Instead of temporarily plumping your skin with artificial substances, this product will help your body produce new collagen fibers that will strengthen your skin for several years.
Since your collagen levels will improve gradually, the changes in your appearance will be subtle and sophisticated. Instead of looking like you’ve had a cosmetic treatment, you will look healthy, refreshed, and youthful.
Who Is Eligible for This Treatment?
Since the PLLA microspheres in this product are biocompatible, you are likely to be eligible for this treatment. To achieve optimal results, you should be a generally healthy adult who has a realistic idea of how this treatment will improve your skin.
Although this treatment is very safe, certain health conditions can prevent you from using this wrinkle reduction technique. For example, you should not use this product if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients contained in the injectable solution. Further, you should not have a history of hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation.
Renew Your Appearance
Sculptra Aesthetic is an ideal way to achieve lasting changes in your appearance. This treatment can be administered during an outpatient appointment, and you won’t have any downtime after you receive your injections. Since this treatment can last for more than two years, you won’t have to interrupt your schedule to receive regular maintenance injections.
