Sculptra

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable that helps stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a fibrous protein underneath the skin’s surface that provides structure to the skin and is crucial to maintaining your skin’s elasticity and hydration. Your body’s natural collagen production decreases by about 1% per year, starting after the age of 18.

Sculptra replaces the skin’s lost collagen using a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid. This material is a biodegradable substance that is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body. It is the same material frequently used in dissolvable stitches. Once the content is absorbed into your body, it helps stimulate collagen production, plumping the skin and helping restore fullness beneath wrinkles and folds.

Results appear gradually over the course of treatment, which involves monthly injections over three months. Effects from Sculptra injections can last for more than two years.

What is Sculptra used to treat?

Sculptra removes facial wrinkles, including frown lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It can also restore fullness to your face, counteracting the look of hollowness in the temples, jawline, and cheeks.

Another application for Sculptra is a non-surgical butt lift.

How does Sculptra work for a non-surgical butt lift?

Butt lifts are a popular cosmetic treatment for those wishing to have a plumper posterior. Surgical butt lifts, including the use of implants or the Brazilian Butt Lift, involve incisions. Sculptra offers a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative that allows your provider to inject the substance directly into the buttocks strategically.

Without using a lot of product, Sculptra triggers a natural response in the area that creates a combination of scar tissue and fresh collagen. The results give patients a continuous, natural enhancement that provides more shape and contour to the area. Effects last up to two years.

The Sculptra non-surgical butt lift requires three injection sessions spaced out over three months to achieve full results. Unlike a surgical butt lift, a Sculptra butt lift requires no downtime and allows you to return to work or your daily routine the same day.

If you want a non-surgical, safe solution to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles, or want a natural-looking butt lift, then Sculptra may be for you. Call Élan Aesthetics or request a Sculptura consultation online today.
