Cheshire Sculptra the Myths and the Facts

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

This guest post was written by Andy Rebeca

Sculptra is used to naturally stimulate collagen in your skin. It corrects facial ageing by replacing lost facial fat. The Poly-L-lactic acid gel is injected into a layer underneath your skin, which gradually stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen. The result of the treatment builds over a period of time and can last up to two years.

Sculptra was approved by the FDA on August 3, 2004 for the treatment of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy). Poly-L-lactic acid is injected into the skin in areas where fat has been lost. It thickens the skin through collagen neo-synthesis, improving appearance of folds and sunken areas, and hides the fat loss. This is also known as “Liquid Face Lift” as it adds volume to the cheek areas lifting sagged areas of the atrophic face.

Choosing to undergo Sculptra treatment will assist you to correct or reduce deep lines and wrinkles, sunken eyes, hallowed cheeks or an indented chin. However there are Myths that encircles these treatments. Let us have an insight about the Myths and Fact of Cheshire Sculptra treatment:

1. Only treats imperfections on the Face

Sculptra treatment can be used on other areas of your body such as hands, abdomen and the upper chest. This will help you to improve the texture in your body which may result due to weight loss, liposuction or scarring.

2. Results are instant and ideal

Sculptra treatment takes minimum of three sessions, but can go up to six sessions depending on the area of treatment and the texture of the skin. Instead of an obvious overnight change you will get gradual results with Cheshire Sculptra treatment.

3. The facial filler is toxin based

Sculptra treatment is a non toxin based Poly-L-lactic acid which is naturally produced by movements of your body. Poly-L-lactic acid firms skin and muscles overtime. The facial filler is bio-compatible and is safely absorbed by the body and has a lower risk of poisoning than toxin based fillers.

4. There is a down time after treatment

You may experience some redness and swelling the first day or two after Cheshire Sculptra treatment, which you can ease down by placing ice on the treatment area. It is always advisable to wear sunscreen during the day.

5. The results are permanent

Sculptra treatment is the longest lasting facial treatment. However the results will start to wear off after two years, in some cases it has only lasted a year. You will have to revisit your cosmetic physician for maintenance.

Considering the Myths and facts if you think that Sculptra treatment is the non-surgical cosmetic treatment that you were looking for, make an appointment with your Cheshire Sculptra treatment clinic to meet your cosmetic physician and discuss about the treatment. This will help you to get the jitters off your mind about Cheshire Sculptra treatment.
