Sculptra treatment helps address an underlying cause of facial aging and not just the symptoms. It helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production, by injecting collagen into the facial area. A typical treatment regime is three injections over a course of three to four months, with two year top ups!
The treatment works subtly and gradually over time to create a natural youthful-looking appearance by:
- Restoring facial volume
- Correcting shallow to deep wrinkles and folds
For our HIV patients, this treatment is a lifesaver saver. It helps those suffering from a reduction in facial fat pads which is a common side effect from HIV antiviral medication. Making a healthier overall appearance to match what’s going on on the inside.
Fillers aim to enhance looks using a natural substance called Hyaluronic acid, which are gels that are injected into the skin to mimic substances naturally found under the skin. They can fix concerns due to age related volume loss such as
- Adding volume and smoothing out deep creases
- Plumping thin lips and smoothing out lines surrounding lips
- Adding volume to cheeks to enhance their shape
For new patients we prefer an initial consultation to discuss your needs and provide a written quote with further information concerning your planned procedures. If you decide to proceed with filler treatment we use a super-strength medical grade topical numbing gel prior to treatment to maximise your comfort.
