Sculptra / Tissue Enhancement Therapies

As a result of the aging process the fat tissue which helps fill out your face is lost. With poly-L-lactic acid Sculptra you can restore facial contour and get rid of lines and wrinkles without surgery. Sculptra has been specially developed to repair contour defects in the face and about 150,000 patients have been treated worldwide since 1999.

Sculptra works in the lower layers of the skin in order to smooth and firm the treated areas of the face. Sculptra is a unique substance which is gradually and naturally broken down by the body and is immunologically inert so that no allergy tests are necessary before beginning the treatment.

The number of necessary injections depends on many different factors. After the first treatment, your practitioner will recommend whether you need any subsequent treatments and how many these should be. Several injections may be necessary to obtain the desired results, however after the end of your Sculptra programme the result will last up to two years.

A qualified practitioner who has been trained to use the correct procedure for Sculptra performs the treatment.

As with all injections you will feel some discomfort. It may be that you notice a brief burning sensation at the injection site. An ice pack applied after the treatment will help calm the skin. If necessary, your practitioner can also give you a local anaesthetic.

The most common side effect include injection related side effects at the site of the injection such as bleeding, tenderness or pain, redness, bruising, or swelling, These effects generally resolve in 2 – 6 days.

Bruising can take up to 2 weeks to resolve.
