Benefits of Sculptra
Aging causes volume loss and sagging skin. Sculptra can restore volume and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. Here are some of the top benefits of Sculptra.
What is Sculptra
Sculptra is a collagen dermal filler. The main ingredient is polylactic acid, which you might be familiar with. The Silhouette Thread Lift is made with PLA. PLA is used in many medical aspects like surgical sutures, orthopedic devices, and medical implants. Because PLA is biodegradable, it is safe for use in the human body.
How it Works
Sculptra works to stimulate collagen production. A provider injects Sculptra into targeted area to plump the skin, fill in deep lines and soften wrinkles, as well as reversing facial sagging. Sculptra triggers an inflammatory response, and the body works to heal the area. Consequently, the body creates new collagen in the targeted area.
Treatment Areas of Sculptra
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, or even other collagen fillers, Sculptra has powerful lifting capabilities. For a start, Sculptra can be used to treat:
- Nasolabial folds
- Deficient chin
- Sunken, hollow temples
- Sunken, hollow cheeks
- Ill-defined lower face, including jawline enhancements
First, in 2004 the FDA approved Sculptra for facial volume replacement for people with HIV. Subsequently, the FDA approved Sculptra for the treatment of deep facial wrinkles and folds due to aging.
Alternative Uses of Sculptra 
Sculptra’s lifting capabilities have led to many off label treatments. These include:
- Tightening and firming loose skin on the arms
- Augmenting buttocks for a butt lift
- Sculpting men’s chest for more definition
- Softening wrinkles and lines on the knees and elbows
- Reducing cellulite on buttocks and thighs
Sculptra lift can create the illusion of increased muscle mass and tone, making people look healthier and more sculpted.
Benefits of Sculptra
There are several reasons why providers prefer Sculptra. For one, the overall collagen level is boosted in the treatment area with Sculptra. It also creates a better, healthier skin tone and texture. Moreover, Sculptra require minimal downtime, it is non-surgical, and the results are natural. Finally, the results of Sculptra last significantly longer than regular hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
