• August 22, 2021

When I’m older and wiser I will understand that aging is just a natural part of living. But hey, when I’m older and wiser I will also understand that there’s a great way to stop me from looking older and wiser! 👄

Seriously beauties, we could do with some good news these days, and we’ve got a scoop for you! It’s a product that helps us retain a youthful look and helps stimulate our skin’s production of collagen: Sculptra.

With this amazing medium to clear deep wrinkles, fine lines and get rid of sagging skin, we wanted to know more from Dr. Costi about this dermal filler, especially since it delivers long lasting results for both the ladies and gents.

What is Sculptra? 💉

Sculptra doesn’t only reverse the signs of aging, it actually fixes the underlying cause of volume loss, while giving you a totally natural look.

That’s why Sculptra is different than other dermal fillers.

“Basically, fillers are made with hyaluronic acid which replenishes the skin giving it that youthful glow” explains Dr. Costi. “These fillers produce immediate beautiful results, however the results will last you only a few months.”

That’s where Sculptra comes in, to sculpt the face just like its name indicates. “It’s about restructuring and sculpting the underlying foundation of the face.” This is why it’s also referred to as the “liquid facelift.”

Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) which naturally occurs in the body, Sculptra restores the natural volume in your face, resulting in a full rejuvenation over time. “Because it works over time, the results are gradual, and so as your skin is restored you look better and better.”

As per Dr. Costi, Sculptra is administered mainly over 3 treatments, with results lasting up to three years.

Where can Sculptra be injected? 🍑

Because Sculptra works as a bio-activator and a collagen stimulator, it can also be used in many areas of the body other than the face to give natural results where volume is needed.

It can be injected anywhere that you want to increase your skin’s collagen content, most commonly in the cheeks and temples, as well as the chin and jawline. However, it is now also being used in the body for the décolletage (in the neck and chest) and also the bum (for that peachy-round shape).

How many treatments will you need?

Dr. Costi will evaluate this during your consultation. It varies depending on the area of skin being treated, your age, weight and activity levels.

Your Sculptra results will only be as good as the person who is injecting them.

The injections need to be placed quite deep into the skin in strategic places that only an experienced doctor will know to get the desired natural results.
