Why We Loooove Collagen… & Sculptra!
Collagen is a girl’s best friend, isn’t it? Produced in the body naturally, collagen – along with elastin – keeps the skin looking tight, full, and youthful.
As we age, though, our body sadly produces less and less collagen and elastin. All the while, our skin loses volume, forms wrinkles, and starts to appear more aged overall.
Dermal fillers are known for their ability to restore volume to the face while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. They’re great for areas that typically thin out and lose volume as we age, like:
Temples
Cheeks
Sculptra injections, however, are known as “biostimulators.” This means that they take fillers to a higher level by not only adding volume, but also by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen. Your skin won’t just have more volume and less wrinkles… it will also look younger for longer!
What is PRP?
Our bodies have regenerative capabilities. That’s how a bleeding wound can heal and damaged tissue eventually becomes like new. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections aim to harness the body’s natural healing power and use it to battle signs of aging in the skin.
The process involves extracting a patient’s own blood and separating out the platelets with the use of a centrifuge. Platelets are the blood’s rockstars when it comes to the body’s healing abilities.
The platelets are then injected into the skin so that growth factors are released and collagen, along with new skin cells, are generated. The result is younger, smoother-looking skin.
The Magical Combination
Sculptra + PRP = PlasmaSculpt!
Many patients wonder, can you do PRP after fillers? The answer is: Yes!
Sculptra vs PRP… you don’t have to choose only one. Plasmasculpt is the combination of these two effective treatments, and it’s a powerful one. Both Sculptra and PRP stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and both effectively fight those pesky signs of aging with beautiful results.
Best of all, Plasmasculpt produces results that last longer than standard dermal fillers since they keep working in your body even after treatment.
Some Sculptra + PRP FAQs
Who makes Sculptra?
Sculptra is produced by Gladerma, and is the only injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that’s FDA approved for use on facial wrinkles.
How long does Sculptra last?
While the longevity of Sculptra injections vary from patient to patient, it’s still among the longest-lasting fillers available. Its effects have been known to last up to two years!
When does Sculptra peak?
Many patients start to see Sculptra results in as little as a few weeks, but peak results occur roughly six months after treatment.
What are the side effects of Sculptra?
There may be some bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection site after Sculptra is administered. Temporary discomfort and tenderness in the treated area are also common.
How much Sculptra do I need?
The number of Sculptra vials needed per treatment typically depends on the age of the patient and the severity of their aging skin. Older patients can receive as many as five or six vials per session, and sessions are spaced apart by six weeks or so.
How long does PRP filler last?
While results from PRP injections can last up to 18 months, many patients end up returning for repeat treatments somewhere between six months and one year after the initial treatment.
What are the risks of PRP?
One of the biggest draws of PRP treatments is that there is no risk of allergic reaction. After all, the only substances in that syringe are elements of your own body’s blood. That’s why PRP is considered a safer alternative to standard fillers. While there is sometimes some pain, irritation, or bleeding at the injection site, side effects are extremely low with this treatment.
