Sculptra

PriceAgeing causes a decrease in the fatty tissue and collagen in the skin. This results in a loss of fullness and natural elasticity and leads to sagging and formation of wrinkles. Sagging causes jowls and makes the face look thinner and narrower with the cheeks appearing sunken. This can make you look older than you actually are.

Sculptra is a non-surgical face lifting treatment. It is injected under the skin and works by causing the body to produce collagen. Sculptra helps by smoothing out lines and wrinkles and also restores lost facial volume. The overall effect of Sculptra is a youthful appearance with gradual natural-looking results. Sculptra works gradually to restore what has been lost. Essentially, Sculptra is a non-surgical face lifting treatment. The treatment course consists of 2 to 3 treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart. The benefits of Sculptra become noticeable after about 6 weeks and on completion of the course, the results can last for about 2 years.

The Sculptra injections can cause slight discomfort but local anaesthetic cream can be used. Redness, bruising, tenderness and swelling can occur but these settle within a few hours to days.
