Sculptra
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) based injectable treatment, which means it contains a biocompatible synthetic material that is a collagen stimulator for the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin its structure and elasticity, but production decreases as we age, leading to sagging, volume loss, and wrinkles. Sculptra treatments work by stimulating the body's natural collagen production, resulting in a gradual improvement of skin texture, tone, and volume.
If you are looking for long-lasting, natural-looking results We at Hebe Beauty Bar would love to learn more about your aesthetic goals and see if Sculptra is the right choice for you.
What is Poly-L-Lactic Acid in Sculptra?
Polylactic acid (PLLA) is the main ingredient in Sculptra and is known as a bio-stimulatory dermal filler. It is a Health Canada and FDA-approved collagen stimulator that is an absorbable, semi-permanent, injectable implant.
Injections of poly-L-lactic acid dermal fillers will stimulate the body’s own natural collagen production over time
It is injected deep into the skin, and results typically appear gradually over several months. PLLA creates structure, framework, and volume for the treatment area. The effects of Sculptra can last up to two years or more, but multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
Difference Between Sculptra Filler and Dermal Fillers
On the other hand, fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid or other substances and are injected beneath the skin to immediately add volume and smooth out wrinkles. They provide immediate results that can last for several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used.
Simply put, fillers provide immediate results while Sculptra stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in a more gradual improvement in facial volume and skin texture.
Who Can Benefit from Sculptra Treatment
Sculptra can benefit anyone who wants to restore volume and structure to their skin. They are often used by people wanting a non-surgical way to rejuvenate their appearance, improve their self-confidence, and feel more youthful.
You may benefit from Sculptra if you’re looking to improve any of the following:
Areas of the face that have lost volume - Use Sculptra to add fullness to areas that have lost volume due to aging, such as the cheeks, jawline and temples.
An overall more youthful and rested appearance - Sculptra can be used in combination with other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox, Dermal Fillers, and Potenza to create a non-surgical facelift.
Long-lasting results - Sculptra results can last for up to two years or more, making it a cost-effective treatment option. The gradual improvement of collagen production also means that the results are more natural-looking
Cellulite and ‘hip dips’ - Sculptra is approved to be used on the buttocks and thighs and are an option to treat cellulite or fill in hip dips for a rounder fuller appearance.

How Long Does It Last?
Results always vary from person to person, but one of the main benefits of Sculptra is its long-lasting effects. Unlike other dermal fillers that may last up to a year, Sculptra results can last for up to two years or more, making it a cost-effective treatment option. The gradual improvement of collagen production also means that the results are more natural-looking, without the sudden changes in appearance that can come with other treatments.
-
What Is The Treatment Like?
The treatment involves a series of injections, usually spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. While some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, these side effects usually resolve within 24 hours or a few days.

Is There Downtime?
Sculptra treatments are minimally invasive and require no downtime. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.
