Collagen: The Skin’s
Structural Support Protein
Collagen is a fibrous protein that offers structural support to the skin. It provides strength, elasticity, and firmness to the skin, ensuring a youthful appearance. The fibrous proteins bind skin tissues together, keeping your skin firm and taut against the force of gravity. However, as we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of skin volume. Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production to replenish the skin’s structural support and reverse the effects of aging.
Sculptra: An Overview
Sculptra is a renowned non-surgical cosmetic injectable designed to combat the signs of aging. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra’s main component is poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the production of collagen—a vital protein responsible for skin’s elasticity and volume. When injected, Sculptra gradually enhances collagen levels, resulting in a natural-looking rejuvenation lasting up to two years. This innovative treatment is ideal for individuals seeking to restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles without surgery.

Is Sculptra painful?
Discomfort during Sculptra injections is generally minimal, and a topical anesthetic can be applied to numb the treatment area if desired.
What is the downtime after a Sculptra treatment?
Sculptra treatments typically involve little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. While normal activities can be resumed immediately, strenuous workouts and direct sunlight should be avoided for a few days to ensure optimal recovery.
