The main ingredient is Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Sculptra\u00ae promotes deep facial collagen regeneration, resulting in gradual and long-lasting effects.<\/span><\/p><h3>How does Sculptra\u00ae work?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary ingredient in Sculptra\u00ae, Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen production. This regeneration process is not immediate but gradually becomes noticeable over approximately 4-6 weeks. Eventually, PLLA decomposes into lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and water, which are naturally absorbed by the body.<\/span><\/p><h3>What is Sculptra\u00ae best suited for?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sculptra\u00ae is most suitable for treating the following issues:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunken cheeks and temples<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nasolabial folds<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marionette lines<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jawline definition<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin laxity and sagging<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>What to expect during treatment?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you receive a Sculptra\u00ae treatment, the session is expected to take about 30-45 minutes. The process involves using a fine needle to create a small opening over your skin, and the solution would be injected to the target area via a very thin cannula. While the treatment is not pain-free, the discomfort is often described as minimal and no anesthesia is required.<\/span><\/p><h3>What are the treatment areas?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sculptra\u00ae can treat areas including:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheekbones<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheeks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temples<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perioral lines (around the mouth)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jawline<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sagging jowls<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Is the treatment painful?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be slight discomfort during the treatment, but lignocaine is typically mixed into the solution to reduce pain. After treatment, there may be mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.<\/span><\/p><h3>How many sessions are needed to see results?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, three sessions are required, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. After completing the full treatment course, results can last for approximately two years.<\/span><\/p><h3>How soon can I see results from?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of the treatment are not immediate but appear gradually. Noticeable results typically emerge around 4-6 weeks after treatment, with more significant improvements after three sessions.<\/span><\/p><h3>What to avoid after the treatment?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After treatment, you should avoid:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strenuous exercise for the first 24-48 hours<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive sun and heat exposure<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplements and medications that may increase bruising and swelling<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Are there any side effects?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common side effects are related to the injection itself, including redness, pain, itching, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These are usually mild and resolve within a few days. Rare but more serious side effects may include allergic reactions, infections, or filler displacement. Any adverse symptoms should be reported to the doctor immediately.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dc4ebc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0dc4ebc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-957a6eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"957a6eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other  Bio-stimulator treatment<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b2ec85 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9b2ec85\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62baca5 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"62baca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/preciseaesthetics.hk\/en\/treatments\/aesthefill\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Aesthefill<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fef0e60 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"fef0e60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/preciseaesthetics.hk\/en\/treatments\/harmonyca\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">HArmonyCa<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf6d860 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cf6d860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/preciseaesthetics.hk\/en\/treatments\/juvelook\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Juvelook<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35349d5 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"35349d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/preciseaesthetics.hk\/en\/%e7%99%82%e7%a8%8b\/derma-veil\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Derma Veil<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d244666 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d244666\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e46abac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e46abac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-size: 1.66667rem; font-style: normal;\">Relevant articles:<\/h4><p style=\"font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/preciseaesthetics.hk\/get-to-know-wrinkles\/\">All You Need to Know About Wrinkles<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sculptra\u00ae What is Sculptra\u00ae?
