Boost Your Skin Naturally With Sculptra Liquid Facelift

As we age collagen production slows down. Environmental factors like smoking, stress, and sun exposure can also cause a decrease in collagen production. Loss of collagen is one of the reasons why signs of aging appear. Cosmetic procedures such as Botox cosmetic, facial plastic surgery, liquid facelift are the most common treatments for collagen loss.

So how can a Sculptra liquid facelift boost your skin naturally? Collagen helps your skin maintain its tightness, elasticity and volume. Sculptra liquid facelift is a non-invasive treatment designed to replace volume throughout the face by stimulating your own collagen to boost your skin naturally. Once collagen strands begin to rebuild, it gradually restores facial volume and smoothen wrinkles and folds.

What Is A Sculptra Liquid Facelift?

Sculptra liquid facelift is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen. This will revitalize your complexion and restore youthful fullness in your treatment area. A Sculptra liquid facelift is meant mainly to correct mild to severe facial wrinkles and folds with an overall goal of a facial rejuvenation.

Although patients will experience an instant change in their appearance following a Sculptra liquid facelift, the instant effect is only a temporary result. The real result is typically seen within 4 to 6 months. However, a continuous result can last up to 2 years after treatment. 

1. How Does A Sculptra Liquid Facelift Work?

Sculptra liquid facelifts work using an injectable dermal filler called Sculptra. A Sculptra filler is made from poly-L-lactic acid. This is a biocompatible synthetic material that can be used on the face and all over the body to bring back firmness, tighten and smoothen the skin.

It works with your body in the deep dermis rather than topically. It helps regenerate collagen production and helps restore your skin's inner volume and structure. As the Sculptra poly-L-lactic acid particles are absorbed, this stimulates gradual collagen production over the next few months.

2. Importance of Collagen

Collagen plays a huge role in maintaining a youthful skin. It is the main structural protein of the connective tissues, including the dermis, the middle layer of skin. The dermis contains fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for synthesizing important proteins like collagen and elastin.

Collagen comprises 70% of the dry skin mass. Because it is so abundant, collagen is one of the most important building blocks of your skin. This layer helps to maintain plump skin with good elasticity while promoting regeneration of the top layer and restoring dead skin cells.

The decline in collagen production can start as early as the age of thirty. The production slows at a rate of about one percent per year. The lost collagen in the skin results in thinner and more fragile skin over time. Signs of a decrease in collagen include fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and more prominent bone structure.

3. How Does Sculptra Boost Collagen?

Unlike traditional collagen stimulators that are used topically and are too large to penetrate the dermis, Sculptra filler works within the deep dermis to revitalize collagen production. When the poly-L-lactic acids are absorbed, collagen strands are gradually rebuilt.

As your body works to gradually absorb the Sculptra injection; a new collagen is created. This new collagen is responsible for the improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and folds. Over time, the restoration of facial volume and fullness effect will be much more noticeable as the new collagen fully sinks into your skin. 

Here is Everything You Need To Know About Liquid Facelifts.

What Are The Benefits Of Sculptra Liquid Facelifts?

Sculptra liquid facelift works by stimulating your body to create more of the natural products that make skin look more youthful and beautiful. The gradual collagen production is stimulated by the Sculptra dermal filler that is injected underneath the skin. Sculptra liquid facelifts are commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, to restore facial contours and volume loss.

From its ability to gradually rejuvenate the face to its low-lasting results, here are some of the benefits of a Sculptra liquid facelift:

1. Offers natural-looking results

Collagen development can take some time, so it may take several months before the improvements in the face fully take hold. The gradual progress of the results of a Sculptra liquid facelift gives patients results that look more natural and less over-filled. 

2. Stimulates new collagen growth

Sculptra liquid facelift works by stimulating collagen production in the skin. With a Sculptra facial filler, the poly-L-lactic acid microparticles released are absorbed to help in the gradual production of collagen over the next few months. The newly produced collagen boosts volume under the skin, smoothing unwanted wrinkles and folds for a plumper and more youthful appearance.

3. Gives long-lasting results

The results of a Sculptra liquid facelift typically last for up to 2 years. This is caused by the ability of the Sculptra injectable filler that essentially rebuilds the underlying infrastructure of the face by generating collagen. The natural and gradual production of collagen offers results that last much longer than other injectable fillers used for liquid facelifts.

4. Restores youthful shape

By aiding the collagen production, Sculptra liquid facelift works to repair the underlying scaffolding of the face which can restore the youthful shape of the face. The goal of a Sculptra liquid facelift is an overall rejuvenated, more refreshed and youthful look rather than an obvious appearance of having had a treatment done.

5. No recovery time needed

Unlike a surgical facelift, a liquid facelift procedure requires no anesthesia, no surgery and no downtime. This allows patients to go back to their normal routine after the procedure. Minimal side effects such as swelling and bruising may be experienced in the treated area which are common side effects of injectable fillers. These side effects usually fade 1 to 2 days after the procedure.

Areas That Sculptra Liquid Facelift Can Target

The majority of patients use a Sculptra liquid facelift to address signs of aging on their faces like fine lines and volume loss. This is due to its major advantage of producing natural collagen, which is a major component for a youthful skin. 

Here are some problem areas that Sculptra liquid facelifts are commonly used:

1. Nasolabial Folds

The folds between the nose and the mouth are often called nasolabial folds. Over time, these folds can become deeper and may also sag. Nasolabial folds appear because of the muscle movements you do in the area. In this instance, smiling and talking are the main factors of their appearance. 

2. Marionette Lines

Marionette lines are vertical lines that extend from the corners of your mouth down either side of your chin. These are created over time from repetitive expressions and volume depletion. Marionette lines coincide with facial fat loss, decrease in elasticity and loss of volume in the lower face.

3. Cheeks

Sagging cheeks are one of the most dreaded signs of aging. The skin in the cheeks starts drooping, giving the face a tired and worn out look. Cheek enhancements are done to the cheekbone area as it works to add volume to the cheek area that results to a visible facial contour.

4. Wrinkles on the chin

Wrinkles on the chin are caused by volume loss, especially in the underlying bone in the jawline and teeth that are shifting with age. Wrinkles occur when the skin begins to lose elasticity and collagen. While most of the dermal fillers can be used in this area, polylactic acids and hyaluronic acid fillers are preferred as wrinkle relaxers.

What To Expect In A Sculptra Liquid Facelift?

The first step for a Sculptra liquid facelift is to have an in-depth consultation so your doctor can understand your areas of concern, what your desired outcome is. Your doctor will also gather your general health history to ensure you are in a physically good condition who is fit for this procedure.

On the day of your appointment, your doctor will deeply cleanse the area to be treated, map the injection sites, and apply a topical numbing agent to your skin. A series of small injections will be made to your skin. The Sculptra treatment will be injected under the skin, and the treatment area will then be massaged to distribute the polylactic acid. 

Consistent protection against the rays of the sun can maintain your results after any skin care treatment. During sun exposure, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 35 or higher to protect your skin from direct UV radiation. 

Why You Should Choose Sculptra Over Other Injectables

What sets Sculptra apart over other dermal fillers is its unique ability to boost your own collagen naturally. Think of it as creating your own filler. 

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that helps regenerate collagen production and helps restore your skin's inner volume and skin laxity. Instead of simply adding volume, it encourages the production of collagen in the body. Sculptra is also injected deeper into the dermis than other fillers thus making it a better wrinkle relaxer and volume enhancer for different areas in the face.

Unlike other treatments, a Sculptra procedure may require a series of treatments. Some visible improvements can be seen with only one treatment, but Sculptra liquid facelift is designed to deliver its unique effects over a course of a few months. This is because the production of new collagen formation is a gradual process each treatment session will yield results that are more noticeable.
