Sculptra®aesthetic | the new age of anti-age
The Olympic Dermatology and Laser Clinic is excited to announce the addition of Sculptra®Aesthetic to our facial rejuvenation program.
Sculptra®Aesthetic is a long lasting solution for those sunken areas and facial wrinkles seen commonly on the aging face. At the age of 30 years, collagen begins to break down, with a 30% loss of collagen seen during the 5 peri-menopausal years. Loss of collagen results in deepening of wrinkle lines, folds, and facial contours. Sculptra®Aesthetic is the first in a new category of facial volume replacement and correction of lost facial fat. Sculptra™ is an injectable form of Poly-L Lactic acid which has been shown to promote the skin's own fibroblasts to create new collagen. This new natural collagen will restore facial volume around the mouth and cheeks and shape the chin and jaw line.
Injectable Sculptra®Aesthetic has been used in over 30 countries worldwide since 1999 in clinical trials involving facial fat loss due to the treatment of HIV. The recent FDA approval for correction of shallow to deep smile lines, facial wrinkles and loss of volume in the face enables cosmetic dermatologists to perform this procedure safely. Since the Poly-L-lactic acid is a safe, synthetic simple sugar that is biocompatible and biodegradable, there is no need for allergy tests. A series of 3 -5 injections are performed under topical anesthetic at 4 to 6 week intervals. Volumetric facial enhancement seen after repeated Sculptra™ injections progress gradually over a 4 month period. For most people, treatment results have been noted to last up to 2 years, even though touch-ups may be necessary over time.
