Sculptra In Bradenton,FL

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that gradually replaces lost collagen. The results can last up to two years. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is indicated for use in patients with healthy immune systems to correct nasolabial fold contour flaws and other facial wrinkles. Sculptra is NOT a filler.

Sculptra works with your body by stimulating fibroblast cells to rebuild lost collagen gradually. As a result, facial volume is gradually restored as collagen strands are rebuilt. Collagen provides our skin structure and shape while providing a more youthful appearance. We lose collagen as we age.

Your treatment may seem to have immediate results because of swelling caused by the water used to dilute Sculptra. This resolves in several hours to a few days. Results will then diminish, and you may look as you did pre-treatment. The peak results are visible within three to four months.

Results can last up to two to three years.

• Rule of 5’s—Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, five times per day, for five days after your treatment.

• On the first day after your treatment, apply ice or a clean ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth to the treatment area to help reduce swelling.
• Avoid strenuous activity, exposure to the extensive sun, and tanning beds for the first 24 hours after treatment.

You can expect injection-related side effects such as pain/tenderness at the injection site, bruising, swelling, or redness. These side effects resolve within a few hours to a few days but could last 14 days or longer. Plan a few weeks in advance of any events or vacations.
