Sculptra

What is the Sculptra® ?

Sculptra® is an esthetic injectable based on L-polylactic acid, a potent collagen inducer. Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid injections that fill immediately, the Sculptra acts in depth by gradually stimulating the natural production of collagen to restore facial volume in a sustainable and natural way.

Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible molecule that acts in depth by:

• Activating fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen,
• Gradually regenerating tissues,
• Thickening the dermis for visibly younger-looking skin.

Clinical studies have shown a 66% increase in collagen after 3 months and continued regeneration up to 30 months after injections.

Understanding collagen: the foundation of skin’s youth

• This loss leads to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, hollowness, and gives a more tired and aged face.
• Collagen is the key structural protein of the skin, ensuring its firmness, elasticity, and density.
• The skin contains mainly type I (80%) and type III (10%) collagen, both of which are essential for youthful skin.
• From the age of 25, our body loses more than 1% of collagen each year.

Proven benefits of Sculptra®

• Visible overall rejuvenation as early as 3 weeks, which improves up to 2 years
• Long-lasting improvement : visible results for more than 2 years.

How does a Sculptra® session work?

A Sculptra treatment session always begins with a personalized medical consultation at the Biolaser Center in Saint-Louis, near Basel, Mulhouse and Belfort. The aesthetic doctor evaluates your face, your volumes and the elasticity of your skin in order to determine a tailor-made treatment plan.

• Preliminary medical consultation to analyze needs.
• Disinfection and marking of the areas to be treated.
• Injection of Sculptra using a cannula or fine needle, depending on the areas deep in the dermis or subcutaneous layer.
• The product is evenly distributed thanks to a careful massage, which is essential to avoid irregularities and ensure an even result.
• The session lasts an average of 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas treated. It is painless or very painless thanks to the possible addition of lidocaine in the product.
• There is no social eviction : slight edema, redness or some bruising may appear, but disappear quickly. Patients can resume their activities as soon as they leave the centre.
• The post-treatment protocol includes regular massages to be performed at home to optimize the effect of the Sculptra and stimulate collagen regeneration in the weeks that follow.

Contraindications to Sculptra® treatment

Although Sculptra® is a safe treatment when performed by a qualified professional, there are some situations that require special vigilance:

• Treatment is not recommended in the event of a known allergy to any of the components of the product, especially to lidocaine if it is used in the reconstitution.
• It should not be performed in people with a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis, or with multiple significant allergies.
• Any active skin inflammation, such as rashes, pimples, redness, cysts or hives, as well as infections or tumors close to the area to be treated, are a temporary contraindication. Treatment can only be considered once the situation is under control.
• Finally, the use of Sculptra® is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, due to a lack of sufficient safety data in these settings.

A prior consultation with our aesthetic doctor at the Biolaser Center in Saint-Louis will check your eligibility and guide you towards the most suitable solution for your skin and your expectations.
