Sculptra\u00ae is an injectable and biocompatible (not rejected by the body) implant. It is also biodegradable as it is metabolized by the body. It has been used since 2004 to restore facial volume (such as acne scars, cellulite, loss of volume) and to provide overall skin rejuvenation.<\/span><\/p>\n More recently, the Sculptra is very popular for volumizing the buttocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Gallery” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”What is Sculptra\u00ae?” open=”on” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#425381″ open_icon_color=”#425381″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”left” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||30px||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_top=”#425381″ border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#425381″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Health Canada approved, this injectable filler implant contains microparticles of Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a polymer of the alpha-hydroxyl acid (fruit acid) family. It is also used in the composition of absorbable surgical sutures.<\/span><\/p>\n Sculptra\u00ae will stimulate natural collagen production at the injection sites. It will gradually replace lost collagen. Its biostimulation action is progressive and subtle.<\/span><\/p>\n Treatments with Poly-L-lactic acid do not require any skin allergy tests.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What are the effects of Sculptra\u00ae?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#425381″ open_icon_color=”#425381″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”left” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||30px||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_top=”#425381″ border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#425381″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Thanks to its collagen production stimulation, Sculptra\u00ae redefines the contours of the face by increasing the volume of depressed areas. Thus, it corrects dark circles, wrinkles and fine lines, nasolabial folds, bitterness folds, scars and skin ageing marks. Sculptra\u00ae is used in cases of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) which can lead to irregularities in volume and tissue relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n In recent years, it has been popular for volumizing the buttocks.<\/p>\n Sculptra\u00ae offers lasting correction, beyond 30 months, combining rejuvenation, skin tightening and a substantial volumizing effect.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Sculptra\u00ae Injections” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#425381″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_icon_color=”#425381″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”left” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||30px||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_top=”#425381″ border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#425381″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As the implant can be used to treat different areas, the depth of injection and the amount to be administered depend on the treated area and the desired result.<\/span><\/p>\n After the treatment, you will notice a gradual improvement in the depressed area in the following weeks. Wrinkles, depressions and treated folds gradually diminish and the skin tightens thanks to your own rebuilt collagen strands (biostimulation effect).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Frequently asked questions about Sculptra\u00ae” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#425381″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_icon_color=”#425381″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”left” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” text_orientation=”left” custom_padding=”||30px||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_top=”#425381″ border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#425381″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Most of the treatment areas require a few sessions – two or three – at least four weeks apart. The results are gradual and more noticeable after the second session. Skin d<\/span>epressions fade over the weeks, and the volume is established after a few months.<\/span><\/p>\n It is difficult to predict the exact volume and number of sessions needed, as responses to Sculptra\u00ae can vary depending on age, area to be treated and volumizing goals. <\/span><\/p>\n A second and sometimes a third session should always be considered for a first treatment. The first session sensitizes the body (to “prime” it). By the second session, all mechanisms will be fully active.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So after your second injection session, Dr. Bernier will assess whether you need additional correction. Skin depression may initially reappear, but it diminishes as the effects of Sculptra\u00ae become apparent.<\/span><\/p>\n Follow-up sessions may be required to maintain the desired level of correction.<\/span><\/p>\n Sculptra\u00ae injections are not recommended if:<\/span><\/p>\n Immediately after your Sculptra\u00ae injections, some side effects may occur. Localized redness, swelling, or bruising may appear at the injection site. These are normal tissue reactions. These effects disappear after a few hours or a week at most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can resume your activities immediately after the injection. About 24 hours after the treatment, any swelling or redness will disappear. Bruises fade in 2 to 3 weeks. During this period, it is recommended to avoid any sun exposure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sculptra\u00ae is biocompatible with<\/span> hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>
