As you age, your facial skin gradually loses collagen. As a result, it loses firmness and flexibility, causing lines, wrinkles, and deep folds. Sculptra® works to plump and smooth lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. It also adds volume to your facial features to help you look revitalized and healthy.
What is Sculptra®?
While most dermal fillers take effect in a few days and last a few months, Sculptra® takes several months to see maximum results. However, these results last much longer than most other dermal fillers, up to three years. At Manhattan Aesthetics, Sculptra® is injected by our expert aestheticians to help you achieve the best results. Sculptra® can treat even the most challenging lines and wrinkles, add facial volume, and enhance your buttocks.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra® uses synthetic poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It matches the natural PLLA found in the body, making it well-tolerated and safe. Sculptra® works by signaling skin cells and stimulating collagen production. This new collagen supports, lifts, and smooths the skin from beneath, giving you natural-looking wrinkle reduction and more contoured features. Many people benefit from more than one Sculptra® treatment to achieve their desired results. On average, most people will have three treatment sessions.
How Many Vials of Sculptra® Do I Need?
Your Manhattan Aesthetics provider will assess your needs and determine how many vials of Sculptra® you may need for treatment. Some people may only need one or two vials for each treatment session, while others may need more. The average person will receive six to eight vials throughout multiple treatment sessions. The exact amount of Sculptra® required depends on how much volume you want to add and the areas you have treated.
What is a Sculptra® Butt Lift?
While it excels as a dermal filler, Sculptra® can also add volume to the buttocks. Also called a liquid butt lift, this enhancement builds subtle but noticeable volume by increasing collagen. A Sculptra® butt lift works well for anyone who wants to add natural-looking volume without the downtime of other butt lifts. The number of vials required for a Sculptra® butt lift depends on how much buttock volume you want to add.
What Results Will I See With Sculptra®?
You may start to see results from Sculptra® within a few weeks, but it may take four to six months to see them develop ultimately. The volume develops gradually during this time, so your results look natural. While you may have some mild soreness after your injections, you will have no downtime and can return to all your usual activities.
