Sculptra®

Unlock the secrets of natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation with Sculptra® at Refine Cosmetic Surgery. Sculptra® is a remarkable injectable filler that provides natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation. It is composed of poly-L-lactate, or poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance commonly used in medicine and surgery that is completely biocompatible and biodegradable. Sculptra®'s unique suspension of PLLA was approved for cosmetic use in 2004, making it a safe and effective choice for facial, hand, and gluteal (butt) volumization.

Sculptra® in Vancouver, BC

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra goes beyond merely adding volume. It stimulates your body's natural collagen production and enhances connective tissue, gradually improving your skin's texture and firmness over the course of three months. As collagen production increases, you'll notice a rejuvenated appearance, and a more toned complexion. Sculptra is an ideal complement to previous hyaluronic acid fillers, providing comprehensive facial rejuvenation and natural-looking results.

Sculptra®
What can I expect from Sculptra©?

You'll have natural looking results - you'll never look 'done' as Sculptra©'s gradual approach ensures your results appear natural and subtle, without any sudden changes in your appearance. Enjoy the long-lasting benefits of Sculptra©'s collagen-stimulating effects, which results can last 2 years or more, providing enduring beauty and skin improvements.

How long is the healing process?

You might experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites lasting 2-5 days due to the water solution that contains Sculptra©. This is a normal response and usually subsides within a few days. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Bruising may occur and will resolve within 7-10 days. Physical activity can be resumed 24 hours after the procedure.

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

Most patients find the procedure to have minimal discomfort and tolerable. During the healing phase which can take 7-10 days, it is common for the treated area to feel achy - much like a sore muscle after a workout.

When will I start noticing my Sculptra© result?

Sculptra© works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production, which will take time. The full effects of Sculptra© become apparent gradually over the course of 3-4 months. More treatments often lead to faster and more significant improvement as collagen production accumulates.

How long will the results last?

As the natural aging process continues, Sculptra© can last up to 2 years or more with proper maintenance treatments and skin care regime.
