Cosmetic procedures continue to redefine the boundaries of aging. Several skin treatments are available to rejuvenate your skin in the world of aesthetic treatments. Sculptra is known as a beacon of rejuvenation, offering a subtle yet transformative approach to restoring youthful vitality.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a unique injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid, which promotes your body’s collagen production over time. It’s a collagen-stimulating treatment designed to restore youthful volume and structure to the face. Traditional dermal fillers plump the skin temporarily, whereas Sculptra works gradually over time, stimulating the body’s natural collagen and providing longer-lasting results.
What is collagen, and why does its loss signal the onset of aging?
Collagen is a core structural protein in our tissues use for strength, elasticity, and youthfulness. Reduced collagen levels can accelerate the aging process, leading to sagging skin formations of wrinkles and volume loss, leading to a weak skin barrier.
Sculptra is set apart from dermal fillers due to its unique longevity property. Dermal fillers may fade in a few months, but Sculptra takes a more gradual and transformative approach. Sculptra injection disperses PLLA particles deep within the skin to stimulate natural collagen. It triggers a synthesis effect, and the skin gradually regains its lost volume and structure, resulting in subtle yet significant rejuvenation. The collagen-stimulating effect can last up to two years or more, making it a cost-effective approach for lasting rejuvenation.
What to expect during and post-treatment:
Before the procedure, it is recommended that you consult with your practitioner and discuss any allergies or medical conditions you may have. It is also recommended that any makeup removed before the procedure. At Livio, we ensure that the procedure is comfortable. The Sculptra procedure takes about an hour from start to finish. Minimal bruising and swelling may occur for 2-3 days, and our team will advise you with the necessary recommendations to minimize it. Most patients resume their daily activities a few hours after their treatment.
Sculptra for Butt: Lift, Define and Sculpt
Sculptra injectable has gained massive popularity not only for its tremendous results in reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face but also for body areas like hips and butts to contour, restore volume, and reduce hip dips. It has proven to be an excellent treatment without the intervention of liposuction and other forms of plastic surgery. Sculptra Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves strategically injecting a collagen-stimulating solution to enhance volume, lift sagging tissue, and improve butt contour, filling in the dents and dimples and appearance of cellulite. Over time, the collagen levels increase, giving the buttocks a fuller, firmer, youthful silhouette. Sculptra offers a holistic solution to rejuvenate your natural beauty.
