Overall health and wellness involves more than feeling good on the inside; it's also about feeling good about the way you look on the outside.
Liquivida® is committed to expanding and enhancing our service offerings to cater to the diverse needs of every client, including advanced aesthetic treatments, such as the FDA-approved injectable, Sculptra®.. In the constantly evolving realm of cosmetic and aesthetic procedures, Sculptra® has emerged as a prominent player in the battle against aging. This innovative treatment has gained popularity for its ability to gradually restore lost volume and rejuvenate the skin.
Theresa Brunner, APRN, board-certified nurse practitioner, and non-surgical cosmetic injections expert at Liquivida®, states: “Sculptra provides clients with gradual, natural, long-lasting volume and adds a beautiful brightness to the skin’s appearance.”
Sculptra®, an FDA-approved dermal filler, is renowned for its effectiveness in addressing facial volume loss and skin laxity. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate but temporary results, Sculptra® takes a more gradual and natural approach. Its primary component, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), stimulates the body's collagen production over time, contributing to the restoration of volume and the improvement of skin quality. 95% of clients report improved skin glow for two years after treatment. This unique approach makes Sculptra® an excellent choice for individuals seeking subtle, long-lasting enhancements.
Sculptra® is just one of the high-end products offered by Galderma that Liquivida® has incorporated into its menu of services. It tackles the root cause of visible facial aging – collagen loss, rather than merely addressing symptoms like lines and wrinkles. Collagen plays a pivotal role in maintaining the youthful appearance of your skin in terms of shape and texture; by the age of 45, we tend to lose approximately 25% of it.
A Liquivda® licensed professional can recommend the right combination of fillers to enhance your appearance and help you attain the desired results.
The Sculptra® treatment typically involves a series of injections administered by a trained healthcare professional. The number of sessions required varies depending on individual goals and the extent of volume loss. During each session, small amounts of Sculptra® are strategically injected into the target areas. Over the following weeks and months, your body gradually responds to the PLLA, producing new collagen and tissue for a natural, refreshed appearance.
Sculptra® is an excellent choice for individuals seeking subtle but noticeable improvements in their facial appearance and could be the perfect treatment for you if you are looking to:
While Sculptra® works for many, it’s not advised for those with compromised immune systems, so it’s always best to discuss any medical conditions with one of the medical professionals at Liquivida® to determine the best aesthetic solutions for your needs.
Brunner not only shares the benefits of Sculptra® with her patients and clients at Liquivida® but also has this to say about selecting the right candidate:
“When determining the best course of action for our clients, we consider the client’s facial anatomy, the degree of aging, lifestyle, and individual aesthetic goals. Sometimes hyaluronic acid filler alone will not offer the best results, so we look to biostimulators like Sculptra®.”
Sculptra® is generally suitable for women of various ages, but its appropriateness depends on individual factors and aesthetic goals. While it may not be necessary or recommended for women in their 20s or early 30s who do not yet exhibit significant signs of age-related facial volume loss, it can be a valuable option for those in their 30s and beyond. Sculptra® is particularly beneficial for women in their 40s and beyond, as it addresses more pronounced volume loss and skin aging.
Sculptra® revitalizes appearance and builds collagen over time. It's the more natural approach to diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. This results in a more subtle, long-lasting improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and facial volume, contributing to improved skin texture. Unlike many other treatments, Sculptra's effects develop gradually, resulting in a more subtle and long-lasting improvement. This non-surgical solution not only reduces fine lines and wrinkles but also restores lost volume, making it a versatile and well-received choice for those seeking a more natural and sustainable rejuvenation option.
Like many cosmetic procedures, Sculptra® may cause mild, temporary side effects. It's crucial to discuss these with a medical professional beforehand. Side effects can include:
The recovery time for a Sculptra® injection is typically minimal. Patients can usually return to their regular daily activities soon after the treatment, with some precautions like avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure in the first 24-48 hours. Gentle massage of the treated areas, as instructed by the practitioner, helps ensure even product distribution. The full results of Sculptra® become more apparent over time as the treatment gradually stimulates collagen production and rejuvenates the skin over the course of weeks to months.
For clients looking for a longer-lasting aesthetic solution that works with the body's own natural processes to help fight aging, Sculptra® is a good option. As with any treatment, results may vary, so it’s always best to consult with a medical professional like the licensed team at Liquivida® to find the best solution for your desired results.
