Sculptra
3304990099
Effect Timeline:
2–4 weeks: Initial changes are minimal, mainly involving swelling or slight volume changes.
2–3 months: Collagen regeneration becomes more noticeable, with significant improvements in skin texture and wrinkle reduction.
6–12 months and beyond: Improvements stabilize for most participants, and the effects last for a longer period. Depending on skin condition and age, some individuals may maintain the results for 1–2 years or even longer.
Maintenance and Enhancement:
Sculptra typically requires three injections (usually spaced 3–4 weeks apart), followed by maintenance treatments as needed (such as a booster treatment every 1–2 years).
The ability of individuals to regenerate collagen varies, and therefore the duration of the effects will also differ.
Lifestyle and skincare practices (such as sun protection, quitting smoking, a balanced diet, and maintaining skin hydration and antioxidant care) can also affect the duration of the results.
Possible influencing factors:
Age, skin thickness, target area, injection dosage and technique, post-treatment care, and whether other skin treatments (such as laser or chemical peels) have been performed.
Potential effects and risks:
Redness, swelling, bruising, induration, nodules, and asymmetry at the injection site. In most cases, these subside within a few days to a few weeks. In very rare cases, corrective treatment may be required.
Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid, PLA)
Mechanism: Stimulates the body's own collagen production, gradually increasing dermal support and volume. It is a biostimulant.
Effect characteristics: Not immediately effective; the effects are gradual and long-lasting, maintained by newly produced collagen.
Collagen/Hyaluronic Acid and other fillers
Mechanism: Directly fills the injection site, providing immediate volume.
Common types: Hyaluronic acid (HAs, such as Restylane, Juvederm), polymethyl methacrylate, etc.
Effect characteristics: Immediate visual improvement, but the effects are shorter-lasting (typically 6–18 months, varying depending on the brand and injection site).
Duration of effect
Sculptra: Results typically appear gradually over several weeks to months, and the effects can last for 1–2 years or even longer, depending on the individual. Periodic maintenance treatments are required.
Immediate fillers (such as HAs): Results are visible immediately after injection, and the effects usually last for 6–18 months. Some products can last up to 18–24 months, after which re-treatment is needed.
Indications and Uses:
Sculptra: Suitable for areas requiring deep, even lifting and improvement of skin texture. Commonly used for cheek contouring, nasolabial folds, jawline, neck, and back of the hands – areas requiring both lifting and collagen support. Also helps improve skin texture and fine lines.
Short-term fillers (e.g., HAs): Suitable for quickly improving superficial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, tear troughs, and other areas with localized volume deficiency and requiring structural adjustment. Offers flexible application and rapid results.
Pain, Recovery, and Side Effects
Sculptra: This treatment usually requires multiple injections. The injection sites may experience redness, swelling, bruising, and lumps for several days. A small number of people may require management during multiple treatment sessions. The overall recovery period is relatively short, but multiple treatments involve multiple injections.
Immediate Fillers: Results are usually visible after a single or a few treatments. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site, which usually subside within a few days to one or two weeks.
