Because the product is a collagen stimulant, the results are not instant. The treatments are spaced around 6 weeks apart. Some visible improvement s can be seen within the first few weeks , but Sculptra is designed to deliver its unique effects within an average of 2-3 treatment sessions over a course of a few months. Because the production of new collagen formation is a gradual process each treatment session will yield results that are more noticeable.
Sculptra is a long term treatment, with results lasting 2-3 years. Usually at 18 month intervals another vial can be given to keep the effect going, however your practitioner will advise you.
As with all injections you will probably feel some discomfort. Ice packs are normally applied to the skin prior to cause a local anaesthetic effect and to lessen the chance of bruising. Taking Arnica tablets a few weeks before treatment can be beneficial in prevention of bruises .
Providing the after care instructions regarding daily massaging are carried out for approx 1 month following treatment side effects are unlikely, However, as stated previously immediately following treatment there may be swelling and or bruising .
Consultation required prior to treatment. 1 weeks notice for treatment as product needs to be prepared. A deposit of £100 is taken on booking. Non-refundable if cancellation is less than 24hrs notice.
