Sculptra restructures the skin and in the process stimulates your skin to produce more of its own collagen for a long lasting natural look. At Nuovo Clinic, we provide medically led Sculptra treatments tailored to natural-looking enhancement and improved skin quality.
Restore volume naturally with our advanced Sculptra in Essex treatments.
Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra is ideal for individuals who are experiencing loss of facial volume and want their skin to look firmer. Unlike fillers which provide instant results by filling volume, Sculptra allows your own body to produce its own collagen. This means that results are seen gradually as your skin starts to plump up within 3 weeks and continues to improve over the next 3 months. Sculptra can be used in the following facial areas: Cheeks, temples, jaw line, under the eyes and many more.
At Nuovo Clinic every Sculptra face treatment is carried out by one of our medically qualified team members following a consultation to create a bespoke plan. Our team of highly experienced Sculptra injection practitioners use the product to add volume to a number of areas of the face including the hollow temples, to create cheeks and to fill out the jaw line.
Sculptra can also be used to fill in dark circles under the eyes. Sculptra can be used to produce a more youthful appearance with greater definition. The volume added by Sculptra can last for long periods of time, creating a naturally filled face that looks fantastic for months to come.
Sculptra Injections
The key ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates the body’s own collagen production. Unlike the traditional fillers made from hyaluronic acid, Sculptra is slowly absorbed by the body and works progressively to fill out the face and improve the skin’s texture over a number of weeks and months.
Although many people classify Sculptra as a dermal filler, it actually works in a much different fashion than most hyaluronic acid fillers. Most fillers fill wrinkles and folds with instant volume, Sculptra actually encourages your own body to produce collagen.
Sculptra injections are a very long lasting form of facial rejuvenation that is ideal for patients who are looking for a more subtle, natural looking approach to facial improvement without the need for frequent repeat treatments. Our team of experienced clinicians are skilled in administering Sculptra injections to achieve the best possible results for each patient.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a face lift collagen-stimulating injectable treatment. It helps to improve skin quality and fills out facial structures to provide a more youthful appearance over time. The effects of the treatment can be seen as the facial skin structure is improved to provide facial fullness and skin texture to give a more youthful appearance.
There are many benefits to Sculptra, which includes:
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Restores facial volume gradually
- Improves skin firmness and texture
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Helps rejuvenate ageing skin without surgery
Treatment time for a facial area can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of product required to achieve optimal results.
The temporary side effects of Sculptra can include swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness at the sites of the injections and sometimes small lumps which can develop under the skin, but these are usually short-lived.
Sculptra results are gradual, week by week, as collagen is continuously produced to improve skin.
For your first Sculptra treatment you will need to attend a consultation where we will discuss your facial structure and your goals for your treatment. Once we have discussed your treatment, your Sculptra will be injected into the relevant areas of your face.
As with all injectable treatments there are potential side effects of Sculptra some of which are temporary whilst others may last longer. There can be some temporary swelling, bruising, some redness and tenderness. There can also be some small lumps under the skin which will resolve by themselves after some time.
Post treatment, patients are asked to massage the treated area for a short amount of time. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water and avoid excessive heat and strenuous exercise for a period of time.
Sculptra Filler
Sculptra filler is very different to other skin fillers on the market as it’s a collagen stimulator, rather than just filling volume instantly. This means that unlike other fillers, Sculptra results are gradual and last for longer, and the end result is very natural and refined.
Sculptra treatments are administered by our highly experienced Sculptra injectors at Nuovo Clinic. Every patient receives an individually tailored treatment to achieve the best and most refined results for each face. Because Sculptra is so versatile, it can be used to restore lost facial volume, treat skin with excess skin and face with signs of general aging of the face. The benefits of Sculptra as a long lasting skin rejuvenation treatment are vast and will continue to develop over time.
Sculptra Essex FAQs
Is Sculptra a filler?
Sculptra is often compared to traditional dermal fillers and is classed as a filler; however Sculptra is a lot different from most other fillers on the market which are made from hyaluronic acid. Unlike these products which fill lines and wrinkles with an instant volume of space, Sculptra actually works by stimulating your skin’s own collagen production, thus producing natural looking and feeling skin that has been improved to fight the signs and symptoms of aging for the long term.
How long does Sculptra last?
The length of time results from Sculptra will last for most people is around 2 years or more, however this can vary from person to person. As the treatment works by stimulating your skin’s own collagen production the skin will continue to improve over time as it becomes plumper and healthier. Occasionally ‘top-ups’ are needed after a year or so to achieve the best results.
How much is Sculptra?
The cost of Sculptra varies from person to person. This is because the number of treatments and the amount of product needed per area can vary. For example, for fine lines and superficial wrinkles that are on the surface of the skin, less product is likely to be needed for fewer treatments than needed for deeper lines and folds that require more product per treatment for multiple sessions of treatment.
Can Sculptra be used under the eyes?
Sculptra under eyes treatment can be used for some patients with hollowing or loss of volume in the tear trough area. The under eye area is delicate so requires an advanced assessment and treatment with fine needles and appropriate technique. This would be discussed in more detail at your consultation and we would confirm whether this treatment is suitable for you.
What are the side effects of Sculptra?
Like most fillers temporary swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness at the point of injection can occur. Also small lumps or bumps can appear on the surface of the skin and usually disappear within a few weeks. To avoid any marks to the skin it is very important that the injector has plenty of experience with Sculptra.
