How is the treatment administered?
Sculptra is injected into specific areas of the face using a fine needle, where it works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic can be applied to enhance comfort.
Initial results may be subtle, with optimal improvements typically visible after a few months as collagen builds up in the treated areas.
How long do the results last?
Results can last for up to 2 years, but individual experiences may vary depending on factors such as age and skin condition.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects may include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, but serious complications are rare.
How many sessions are recommended?
Many patients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 treatment sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results.
