Collagen Stimulating Treatments
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment offered at Skin Parlour that helps restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles and folds by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike dermal fillers, Sculptra® is made from a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance known as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is gradually absorbed into the body. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of this substance into the treatment area, which helps rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.
Sculptra® is used to improve shallow to deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), the lines framing the mouth (marionette lines), fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area, and other areas. It’s a great treatment for individuals who are seeking a non-surgical solution to signs of aging, such as loss of skin elasticity or volume. Results aren’t immediate, as the true power of Sculptra® lies in its ability to promote natural collagen production over time. Most patients observe noticeable improvements within a few weeks of their first treatment, with full results generally evident after a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The results can last for up to two years or more, depending upon individual factors such as skin condition and age.
