Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulatory dermal filler used to treat facial volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume by physically filling an area, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time, resulting in a gradual, more natural-looking rejuvenation.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material. PLLA has been used in medical applications, such as dissolvable sutures, for decades. When injected into the skin, it triggers a collagen-building response, which helps restore volume, improve skin texture, and smooth wrinkles.

Why is Sculptra a Biostimulatory Product?

Sculptra is considered a biostimulatory product because it doesn’t work like traditional fillers that just add volume directly. Instead, it stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production, which is the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and elastic. Over the course of several weeks to months, this collagen production gradually restores volume to areas of the face, providing a more youthful appearance that looks natural and long-lasting.

  1. Stimulates Collagen: Sculptra’s main mechanism of action is stimulating fibroblasts in the skin to produce new collagen.
  2. Gradual and Long-lasting Results: The results of Sculptra develop gradually over a few months as the body produces more collagen, and the effects can last for up to 2-3 years.

Most Popular Areas to Use Sculptra:

  1. Cheeks and Midface:
    Sculptra is commonly used to restore lost volume in the cheeks and midface area. As we age, the fat pads in the face begin to diminish, causing the cheeks to sag and lose their youthful fullness. Sculptra helps to restore volume in these areas by building up collagen over time, resulting in lifted and fuller cheeks.
  2. Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines):
    Sculptra is effective in softening the appearance of deep nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth). It adds volume to this area by encouraging collagen production, which helps smooth out these creases.
  3. Jawline and Jowls:
    Sculptra is often used to firm and lift sagging skin along the jawline, providing a more defined and youthful contour.
  4. Temples:
    Hollowing of the temples can make the face appear more gaunt and aged. Sculptra is popular in this area because it can fill in the hollows and create a smoother, more balanced facial contour.
  5. Chin and Marionette Lines:
    Sculptra can help improve volume in the chin area and reduce the appearance of marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin), resulting in a more youthful lower face.

Why Use Sculptra in These Areas?

  • Natural, Gradual Results: Because Sculptra works over time by stimulating collagen, it creates a gradual improvement that looks natural, making it ideal for people who want to avoid the “overfilled” appearance sometimes associated with traditional fillers.
  • Long-lasting Effects: Sculptra can last up to 2-3 years, making it an attractive option for those seeking long-term improvement without frequent maintenance.
  • Restoring Volume: Sculptra is especially effective in areas where volume loss due to aging is a major concern, such as the cheeks and temples.

Sculptra is a great option for those looking for subtle, long-lasting facial rejuvenation by promoting their body’s own collagen production to restore volume and smooth skin.

PRX DermPerfection (Topical Collagen Stimulator)

PRX DermPerfection is a revolutionary, non-invasive biorevitalization treatment that combines the power of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid. Despite being an acid-based treatment, PRX DermPerfection does not cause peeling or damage to the outer layer of the skin like traditional chemical peels. Instead, it penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen production and improve the skin’s overall appearance. This treatment is often referred to as a “topical collagen” stimulator because it triggers the body’s natural collagen production without the need for needles or downtime.

Why PRX DermPerfection is Considered a “Topical Collagen” Treatment:

PRX DermPerfection works by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes. The TCA in PRX DermPerfection penetrates the skin without causing visible exfoliation or peeling, allowing the hydrogen peroxide to activate fibroblasts deep in the dermis, which then stimulate collagen production. This results in firmer, tighter skin and improved elasticity, making it an excellent treatment for those looking to rejuvenate their skin without downtime.

  • TCA (33%): Typically known for its use in deeper chemical peels, in PRX DermPerfection, TCA promotes dermal stimulation without causing surface damage or peeling.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide: Helps to modulate the effects of TCA and support skin regeneration by activating fibroblasts and other skin cells.
  • Kojic Acid: Provides brightening effects, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and even
    out skin tone.

Benefits of PRX DermPerfection:

  1. Stimulates Collagen Production:
    One of the key benefits of PRX DermPerfection is its ability to stimulate collagen production, which helps to firm the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve elasticity.
  2. Non-Invasive, No Downtime:
    PRX DermPerfection achieves impressive skin rejuvenation results without the need for needles, invasive procedures, or downtime, unlike traditional chemical peels.
  3. Improves Skin Texture and Hydration:
    It helps to smooth the skin’s surface, improving texture, reducing fine lines, and providing deep hydration for a more radiant complexion.
  4. Brightens the Skin:
    Thanks to the kojic acid, PRX DermPerfection helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, resulting in a brighter, more even skin tone.
  5. Lifting and Firming:
    As it boosts collagen, PRX DermPerfection provides a subtle lifting and firming effect, making it especially popular for areas that need tightening.
  6. Non-Peeling Formula:
    Unlike traditional TCA peels that result in peeling and flaking, PRX DermPerfection does not cause the top layers of the skin to peel, making it much gentler with immediate visible improvement.

Areas Where PRX DermPerfection Can Be Used:

  1. Face:
    PRX DermPerfection is commonly used on the face to address wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sagging skin. It also improves overall skin tone and texture.
  2. Neck and Décolleté:
    It is effective in rejuvenating the neck and chest areas, where signs of aging and sun damage often appear.
  3. Hands:
    PRX DermPerfection can be applied to the hands to improve texture, smoothness, and reduce the appearance of age spots or pigmentation.
  4. Body (Stomach, Arms, and Stretch Marks):
    PRX DermPerfection can be used on areas of the body with skin laxity or stretch marks, such as the stomach, upper arms, and thighs. Its ability to stimulate collagen makes it an excellent choice for addressing post-pregnancy stretch marks or areas where the skin has lost elasticity.
