To understand the role of Sculptra in Collagen Stimulation, we need to first look at what Collagen is.
Collagen- This is one of the major proteins, which is a building block of the bones, skin, hair, muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the human body. Collagen is the component of the skin that supports the role of strengthening skin with the added benefit of providing elasticity and hydration to our skin, preventing sagging of the skin, and giving it a plump look. As we age the collagen in our skin decreases, and as a result, ageing increases, and wrinkles and lines are more visible on the skin. The word Collagen derives itself from the Greek word 'Kolla' which means glue. It is like the glue which holds all the components of the skin together.
How does Sculptra Work on The Skin
Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler which plays a vital role in restoring the facial volume which is lost due to ageing or environmental reasons. It contains PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. Deep lines and creases are also treated with this miracle treatment and where skin tightening needs are concerned the effects last up to 24 months. This dermal filler is most commonly used in areas including: the temples, the mid-cheek region, and the lower face for hollowing, depressions, fine lines, and jawline. This filler plays more of a role as a volumiser because it causes the body to produce collagen on its own. Most dermal fillers are made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid—the sugar our bodies make to lubricate and hydrate our skin whereas the sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid crystals and which is a biocompatible, biodegradable material that's been used for long in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. The injections are administered in different directions to create a mesh-like pattern under the skin. This means that once injected, the filler offers complete coverage and serves as a foundation upon which collagen can develop. Once it is injected deep it gets slowly absorbed by the skin. In the next four to six weeks the crystals stimulate collagen which creates a stronger structure.
When Sculptra Helps The Best
If your skin is showing the signs of aging like lines, wrinkles, folds, and lost volume, Sculptra is the best non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment to boost up your body into rebuilding its structure. Once collagen production is high in the skin, it smoothens from the inside out. The volume starts getting retained in areas that have hollowed, and wrinkles, and folds, and newer and stronger cells get gradually filled in.
What Can One Expect from Sculptra Treatment
Some of the benefits one can look forward to with this treatment is that there is an improved skin texture and corrects facial wrinkles and folds such as smile lines, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines. On the day of the treatment, the face appears a little fuller. The fullness diminishes over the next 48 hours once the liquid injected is absorbed and the PLLA crystals begin to act on the skin. Subsequently in the coming four to six weeks collagen levels start getting stimulated. Few worth mentioning results are:
- Regaining lost facial volume
- Better absorption of elastin and hyaluronic acid results in improved skin texture
- Plump and youthful skin
- Progressive and long-lasting natural results
- Works as a bio activator and collagen stimulator
