More and more individuals are looking to achieve youthful, radiant skin and are hopping onto the revolutionary bandwagon of Sculptra Aesthetic. Spearheaded by our distinguished team at DermaTouch RN, this state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment is evolving the anti-aging landscape in Houston and San Antonio, TX, and setting a high bar in aesthetic medicine.
Why is Sculptra the Preferred Choice for Anti-Aging Treatments?
Due to its multidimensional benefits, Sculptra Aesthetic is a favorite skin rejuvenation remedy. Going beyond mere surface-level improvement, this anti-aging treatment works subtly and gradually to achieve a youthful appearance, which our clients love.
How Does Sculptra Compare to Other Injectables?
When comparing Sculptra to other injectables, it’s important to note that Sculptra works differently than many of the options available. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume by filling in wrinkles or adding fullness, Sculptra stimulates the body’s natural collagen production:
Botox and Dysport
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. While these treatments offer quick results, usually within a week, they must be repeated every three to six months to maintain the effect.
Juvederm and Restylane
Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are typically hyaluronic acid-based and used to add immediate volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows. They provide instant results, a significant advantage for those seeking quick improvements. However, these fillers generally last six months to a year before requiring touch-ups.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production. The bio-stimulator is generally used for deeper wrinkles and can last about a year or more.
Tips for Pre- and Post-Sculptra Treatment Care
Pre-Sculptra Treatment Care
- Avoid Blood Thinners: To minimize bruising, avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least a week before treatment.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin stay hydrated and prepare for the treatment.
- Avoid Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption 24 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.
- Plan Ahead: Schedule your treatment at least two weeks before any major events to allow any potential bruising or swelling to subside.
Post-Sculptra Treatment Care
- Massage the Area: Gently massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times daily, for five days to help distribute the product evenly.
- Apply Ice: Use a cold pack on the treated areas for short intervals to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Limit intense physical exercise for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent increased swelling.
- Stay out of the Sun: For a few days, avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and excessive heat exposure to minimize the risk of irritation or swelling.
