If you live in La Jolla, Sculptra injectables probably sounds foreign to you, but if you have deeply set wrinkles or depressions on your face, it may just be your new best friend. The product isn't suitable for everyone, but remains one of the most highly rated dermal injectables available today.
If you're considering the use of La Jolla cosmetic injectables to minimize the appearance of lines, folds, and wrinkles, you may be confused by the sheer variety of products available and which filler is best suited for the results you seek. While some injectable treatments, like Botox and collagen, are household names, it's often products you haven't heard of yet that are likely to produce the desired effect. Since it is often expected that the use of a dermal filler will take years off of the appearance of your face, choosing the wrong one can leave you disappointed and disillusioned about the effectiveness of the treatment. Before undergoing any injectable procedure, it's important to consult with a licensed La Jolla cosmetic surgeon and to ask his opinion on which product is likely to produce the best results for you.
Unlike mot other dermal fillers, which are made of collagen or hyaluronic acid-based products, Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material that is not found in the human body and is not taken from an animal. Because of this, there is no need for an allergy test before an injection of Sculptra can be given, and is generally free of side effects produced by allergens. Poly-L-lactic acid is the same material that absorbable sutures are made from and has been used as a surgical product safely for decades. Poly-L-lactic acid has been deemed as biocompatible, meaning it works well with the human body and does not cause harm to the system. In addition, it is biodegradable, meaning the product breaks down naturally within the body and disappears. Once this happens, a patient must receive another injection to make sure the effects of Sculptra continue.
Sculptra works a bit differently than many dermal fillers, in that it is injected in a very dilute suspension that fills by gradually stimulating collagen production in the skin. Because of this patients may need more than one set of injections of Sculptra, usually given 4-6 weeks apart. However the results of Sculptra will last anywhere from 1-3 years, and produce a more finely sculpted look than is normally achieved with less specifically targeted injectable fillers.
Those most likely to benefit from Sculptra are patients with deep wrinkles or prominent nasolabial folds, usually appearing due to age. It can also be used to treat scars and depressions that have occurred as a result of acne or skin trauma. Sculptra has consistently been rated a top dermal filler available for filling in areas of the face that have taken on a sunken or depressed appearance due to the loss of fatty tissue, particularly in delicate areas such as the cheeks and temples. Talk to your La Jolla plastic surgeon about the different options available to you.
