 Facial
fat loss, or lipoatrophy, is the loss of fat beneath the skin,
which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow
eyes.
Sculptra™ is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible material
that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of
fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin
thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas.
No skin testing is required.
Sculptra™ is
composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material.
Sculptra™
is not made from human or animal sources and does not require a
skin test.
Sculptra™ is a biocompatible (does not harm the
body), biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body)
material that has been widely used for many years in surgical
products.
The effects of
Sculptra™ are long lasting. In a clinical study, effects lasted
for up to two years after the first treatment session in most
patients. The results from
Sculptra™ are not immediate;
Sculptra™
provides a gradual increase in skin thickness.
Dr. Clymer will
usually suggests he sees you again a few weeks after the first
session to decide if additional injections are needed. Touch-up
treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effect.
People with mild
lipoatrophy will require fewer treatments than those with severe
lipoatrophy. *
