One difficulty facing the aesthetic physician is how to best treat the loss of facial volume and to maintain its youthful proportions.
Merely tightening up the skin or improving its radiance it well very good for the younger patients but with the loss and dislocation of fat in the face of the older patients, more is needed.
One extremely satisfying solution is to treat the face with Sculptra.
Sculptra is a synthetic Poly-L-lactic acid material. The material has been commonly used in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. A natural form of Poly-L-lactic acid is produced in our muscles during exercise. The material works to gradually produce increasing thickness of the skin. The material is biocompatible and can be dissolved by the body.
Treatment results can last as long as 2 years. Unlike fillers, the improvement in the face takes 6 to 8 weeks to gradually fill out as the body generates collagen as response to Sculptra.
How is it done?
1. The patient is studied and the volume of sculptra and the injection points are planned.
2. The face is numbed either with topical anesthetic or localised nerve blocks.
3. The treatment is administered via deeper injections and the face is iced down and massaged.
How many treatments are required?
You can see good effects after one treatment but at least 2-3 treatments will give best results.
