Sculptra

 

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 recently approved by the FDA (8/10/09) for aesthetic use, including the correction of nasolabial folds & and other facial wrinkles!
 
Poly-L-lactic acid restores volume loss and smoothes wrinkles/folds from the inside-out, returning desired contours.

Technique:

Dr. John Porcaro right at his center injects Sculptra after first coating the areas with a topical anesthetic and reconstituting the freeze dried preparation.
 
When injected into the check for mild to moderate lower facial lipoatrophy, 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
  • 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
