Poly L Lactic Acid – Collagen stimulator

Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable made of Poly L Lactic Acid (PLLA) that is designed to help reduce the appearance of deep lines, creases and folds in the face or for body contouring.
The PLLA formula helps restore lost volume caused by aging or medical conditions by stimulating the body’s own collagen production thus providing a more youthful and healthy look.
The Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner will complete a history to determine if Sculptra is an appropriate treatment modality for you.
Treatment as appropriate may require two or three sessions spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart to address facial volume loss.
Full effect of Sculptra can take up to several months and can last over two years. Therefore, this is a great option for those who prefer gradual onset of long lasting results.
Taking a collagen supplement with vitamin C during the treatment ensures that the body has enough collagen to use during the stimulation process.
Sculptra can also be used for body contouring of the buttocks and hips. Body contouring will require multiple treatment sessions and vials of product depending on the amount of volume sought.
Take home instructions include the 3 rules of 5: Massaging the treated area for 5 minutes 5 times a day for 5 days.
Affordable package pricing is available.
