SCULPTRA™ INJECTIONS AND TREATMENTS IN CALGARY
SCULPTRA ™
Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler, which means that it stimulates the patient’s body to make its own collagen. Sculptra is unique in that it is made of poly-L-lactic acid (not HA filler) and works with your body to gradually regrow collagen over time, typically 2-6 months. Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production, therefore creating more volume and an improved skin texture. With aging comes loss of volume. Sculptra can be used to correct this volume loss and restore a natural more youthful appearance. Sculptra is used to treat shallow and deep wrinkles gradually to restore structure and produce a smooth healthy glow.
Unlike regular dermal fillers, Sculptra works gradually by producing your own collagen to correct volume loss and signs of aging. One to four treatments, three weeks apart, are recommended to produce optimal results. 80% of Sculptra users are still happy with their results 25 months after their injections.
What to expect during treatment:
On average, the treatment itself will take between 15-30 minutes. After your consultation, our Nurse Injector will mark the areas that they will be injecting. A topical numbing cream will be applied to keep you comfortable. The Nurse Injector will inject the areas that require collagen stimulation and growth and will choose the safest technique for that area. Once treatment is done, the Nurse Injector will massage the area vigorously.
