Sculptra
is a fully biogredadable, immunologic neutral product.It consists
out of polylactate, which is a synthetic polymer used in medical
fields since many years. It acts as a filler to the wrinkles. Adding
to that, the production to collagen is induced so that new tissue
is formed. Sculptra is non-toxic and non-allergic.
Indication
Scars, wrinkles and folds as well as volume-deficits in the cheek
region may be treated with Sculptra.
Treatment
Sculptra can normalley be applied without anaesthesia. Although
it is possible to reduce the local pain by using special anaesthetic
cream or by cooling. Sculptra is injected through ultra-thin needles.
An allergic testing is not necessary.
After
the treatment
During the first two hours after treatment, no make-up should be
used to avoid contamination of the injection points.Like the treatments
with other injectable implants, the implantation of Sculptra is
a simple procedure a with very low risk.
Results
In the beginning, the treated areas will be swollen a little bit.
After several minutes to a few hours, the result will be visible.
Many patients decide to redo the procedure about six to twelve months
after the initial treatment.
