Sculptra - The Liquid Facelift

What Is It?
Sculptra is made up of poly L lactic acid, a polymer that, with time, is metabolised naturally by your body. It is not a wrinkle filler, but a bio activator of natural collagen or "volumiser". It works by stimulating the body to produce new collagen at the sites of injection, thereby replacing lost volume to restore a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Sculptra is used for:

• Volumis, enhance and redefine cheeks
• Fill the concavity of the temples
• Correction of the tear trough, dark circles & wrinkly skin of the lower eyelids
• Redefine the jaw line & lift jawls
• Correct nose to mouth lines
• Lift the mouth corners
• Acne scarring

Your Experience
The procedure takes 30-45 minutes. There may be some discomfort; however the product is mixed with local anaesthetic and numbing cream may also be used. The number of necessary injections and placement depends on age, amount of volume to be restored & the type of treatment desired.
3-5 sessions at 6-8 weeks interval may be required.

The Future
Once collagen production has been stimulated, gradually, the natural looking results should become visible after 2nd or 3rd session, with results lasting for around 2 years. To maintain best possible results we advise one top-up session once a year. 

Side Effects
As with all other injections there can be temporary swelling and bruising, which may last for few days. Otherwise, there is no downtime. Other risks include the transient appearance of palpable, but usually not visible, papules under the skin which resolve spontaneously over a period of time.

The Result
"The Liquid Facelift" allows you to maintain your beauty secrets as there is no dramatic instant change but rather a gradual enhancement as your appearance fills out slowly from within, continuing to make you look fresher & younger.
