5 Sculptra Myths Demystified

Most women and many men suffer in silence with the way gravity has taken a toll on their once-smooth, wrinkle-free faces. That discouragement doesn’t end there but continues to a sagging jawline and even a wrinkled chest. BOTOX® and fillers are commonly used in treating wrinkles, but sometimes they aren’t enough. Some patients lack the support, volume and structure that’s needed for fillers to do their magic. Such patients require hyaluronic acid fillers. That is where Sculptra® becomes vital. Choosing to undertake Sculptra® is a great option for many individuals.

Myth: It’s only for signs of aging

Fact: When used in the hands of a skilled professional, the process targets different texture and wrinkles that may arise from scarring and other issues.

Myth: Expect instant results

Fact: On average, Sculptra® takes at least three sessions. The duration depends on the size of the area to be treated, the wrinkles and recession depths. It’s worth noting that each session is spaced between three and six weeks apart. Nonetheless, after each session, imperfections become slightly less visible as the skin becomes firm and its texture distributed evenly. Results are gradual and not overnight.

Myth: It’s a toxic filler

Sculptra® is not toxic. It’s made from polylactic acid that is naturally produced by the body. It’s responsible for strengthening muscles and skin during movement and exercises. Since this acid is produced naturally, this filler is bio-compatible. It\’s safely absorbed by the body and is less risky when compared to toxic-based fillers.

Myth: Time off from work is necessary for recovery

Fact: There is little to no downtime needed for this filler.

Myth: Permanent results

Fact: Currently, no fillers guarantee permanent results. Nevertheless, Sculptra® is popularly regarded as having some of the most extended results when compared to other fillers.
