Product Advantage
Sculptra’s 150mg PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) microparticles act as a bio-stimulator, triggering gradual collagen regeneration over 6–9 months for results that look naturally youthful rather than overdone. Its microsphere technology ensures uniform distribution (particle size 40–63μm) to prevent nodule formation, with 95% reduction in wrinkle depth observed after the full 3-treatment protocol. Unlike HA fillers, its effects build over time and last 24–36 months, making it a cost-effective long-term solution for age-related volume loss .
Product Uses
Deep wrinkles: Addresses stubborn nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin creases by rebuilding underlying collagen support.
Volume loss: Restores facial fat pad volume in cheeks, temples, and jawline, reversing the “hollowed” appearance of aging.
Skin tightening: Improves jawline definition and neck laxity by increasing dermal thickness by 0.8–1.2mm over 12 months.
Scar revision: Reduces the appearance of atrophic acne scars and surgical scars by stimulating collagen deposition in depressed areas.
Product Operate Guide
Reconstitution: Mix vial with 5ml sterile water + 0.5ml lidocaine (optional) and let stand 2 hours (or overnight for optimal hydration), gently swirling to avoid foam formation.
Injection: Use a 27G needle for subcutaneous placement, administering 1–2ml per session in 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Target areas with grid mapping to ensure even coverage.
Massage protocol: Critical for success—instruct patients to perform 5-minute circular massages on treated areas twice daily for 5 days post-treatment to disperse particles and prevent clumping.
FAQ
Why is massage necessary?
Proper massage ensures PLLA particles distribute evenly in the subcutaneous layer, reducing nodule risk to <2% (vs. 15% without massage).
Is downtime required?
Minimal downtime; transient redness/swelling resolves in 24–48 hours, with most patients returning to work immediately.
Can it be used for body contouring?
Yes, effective for improving skin texture on the décolletage, abdomen, and arms, particularly in post-weight loss patients with loose skin.
