Sculptra Aesthetic

Dr John L. Porcaro, Board Certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery* is a "Platinum Level Sculptra Injector"and has treated hundreds of patients with Sculptra since 2006. Dr Porcaro is the only "Platinum Level Sculptra Injector" in St Lucie, Martin & Indian River Counties, indicating high level Sculptra usage.

Sculptra's active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a synthetic bio-activator and is not considered a true filler. It was initially approved for facial atrophy in HIV patients in 2004 and was approved by the FDA (8/10/09) for aesthetic use, including the correction of nasolabial folds & and other facial wrinkles!

Sculptra's mechanism of action is different from all the other fillers in that it stimulates your body to produce collagen, which can result in prolonged improvement, lasting 2-5 yrs!

Sculptra is not a quick fix, as the body takes weeks to make new collagen, and is ideal for patients seeking a gradual correction occuring over months. Sculptra Aasthetic is very popular with celebrities for this very reason!

Poly-L-lactic acid restores volume loss and smoothes wrinkles/folds from the inside-out, returning desired contours.

Areas Dr. John Porcaro Port St Lucie treats with Sculptra include the nasolabial folds, the marionette grooves, around the mouth (but not in the lips), the chin and jaw, the cheeks & infraorbital regions as well as the temples, lateral brow, scars, especially depressed acne scars.

Technique:

Dr. John Porcaro injects Sculptra after first coating the areas with a topical anesthetic and reconstituting the freeze dried preparation.

When injected into the cheek for mild to moderate midfacefat loss, crisscross and tunneling technique with a fine needle is employed, massaging after every 3-4 injections. Injections into the temple region requires depot of product instead of tunneling, followed by massage.

Benefits:

A synthetic product, not from human or animal sources

Does not require skin testing

Bio compatible (does not harm the body)

Biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body)

PLLA has been widely used for many years in dissolvable sutures, soft tissue and other types of implants

Long lasting effect (2-5 yrs)

Increases skin thickness lasting up to 2 years in most patients

Other considerations:

Results from Sculptra are not immediate and Sculptra provides a gradual increase in skin thickness

Touch up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effects

Tenderness, redness, swelling and bruising can occur at the injection site

Several bumps that are not visible may be noticed when pressing on the treated area

From 3-5 sessions may be needed, depending on the severity of the lipoatrophy or the degree of volume losss.

Allow 6-8 weeks between injections sessions to adequately judge full effect of previous treatments
