Your treatment experience
The Scuptra anti-ageing facial treatment procedure takes 30-45 minutes. There may be some discomfort; however the product is mixed with local anaesthetic and numbing cream may also be used. The number of necessary injections and placement depends on age, amount of volume to be restored & the type of treatment desired. 3-5 sessions at 6-8 weeks interval may be required.
How long will the Facial Treatment last?
Once collagen production has been stimulated by the Sculptra facial injections, gradually, the natural looking results should become visible after 2nd or 3rd session, with results lasting for around 2 years. To maintain best possible results we advise one top-up session once a year.
Side Effects of Sculptra Treatment
As with all other facial injections there can be temporary swelling and bruising, which may last for few days. Other risks include the transient appearance of palpable, but usually not visible, papules under the skin which resolve spontaneously over a period of time.
Data from clinical studies of Sculptra® indicate that, in very rare instances, small and invisible or visible bumps (nodules) in the injection area can occur within a year or longer of Sculptra® treatment. The risk of bumps is lessened by proper preparation of Sculptra®, accurate placement of the injections, and most importantly regular massage of the treated areas, as instructed. If the nodules persist, surgical intervention may be required.
It is not intended for use in the lips or the mouth region and not recommended for use in periorbital area.
