Sculptra by Dr Marius Hannah

What is Sculptra?

What is Sculptra?

As the first—and original—injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement.1-4

 

How many treatments will I need?

On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on the treatment plan determined by you and your aesthetic professional.1

 

When will I see results?

Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with sustained results for up to 2 years. Work with your aesthetics professional on a treatment plan. Typical treatment is 3 sessions spaced at least 3 to 4 weeks apart.1-

 

Which areas does Sculptra treat?

Sculptra is used to correct shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds on the face.1 Administered with the appropriate injection technique from a trained specialist, Sculptra is clinically approved for:

Cheek wrinkles
Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), also called “smile lines”
Lines framing the mouth (marionette lines)
Chin wrinkles

 

Is Sculptra safe? What are the side effects?

Sculptra is FDA-approved in the United States and has been used worldwide since 1999. Sculptra is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid that is absorbed naturally by the body and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.
Since Sculptra does not contain any human or animal components, no allergy testing is needed prior to treatments.
Side effects reported include injection site pain, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching and lumps, bleeding, and swelling. Small bumps under the skin can sometimes be noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, with or without inflammation, have also been reported

 

Who can inject Sculptra?

Specialists who have been trained to inject Sculptra and are licensed to practice within the state may administer treatment. At CDC, Dr Marius Hannah our Clinical Dermatologist administers this treatment.

 

How much does Sculptra cost?

There are several factors that figure into how much treatment will cost, including:

Number of treatment sessions needed
Number of Sculptra vials used per session
Degree of necessary correction determined by you and your specialist
Specialist fees

Since injection costs will vary from person to person, the best way to determine projected costs is to consult your doctor.

Generally, our price per Sculptra treatment is R8000.

Comparing the cost of facial rejuvenation options can be challenging, because so much depends on desired results, the amount of product your doctor recommends, your response to treatment, and the amount of time results last.

 

A facial filler treatment that lasts 3 to 6 months may cost less up-front than one that lasts much longer, but it will generally require additional treatment sessions to maintain the effect for the same duration as one longer-lasting treatment. You may want to consider the total cost over time.
