SCULPTRA Test
SCULPTRA Test
Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid that works as a bio-stimulator, which means it stimulates your body to build collagen. Sculptra is different from other dermal fillers because it works on the underlying cause of aging, loss of collagen. For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended 4 – 6 weeks apart and then maintenance treatments yearly.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SCULPTRA
Patients 30 and older would benefit from prevention of collagen loss and rebuilding collagen in the face, neck, and upper chest. Sculptra can also be used for patients 18 and older who are looking to enhance their buttocks, either increasing size, improving skin texture, or both.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is a protein in the body that plays an important role in skin, cartilage, bones, and connective tissue. >It is responsible for skin elasticity, and loss of collagen is one of the main causes of aging.
With age, our skin begins to lose its natural elasticity and collagen production slows down. As a result, we start to see wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of radiance. Sculptra is a injectable filler that helps to replenish lost collagen, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
We start losing collagen very slowly in our late teens and early 20s. By 40 years old, we have lost approximately 25% of our collagen. This is why for most people wrinkles become more noticeable in our 40s. Patients in their 40s – 60s are most commonly getting Scuptra treatments. However, most people prefer prevention and maintenance over trying to fix a problem. This is why the optimal time to start preserving collagen in our faces is in our 30s.
