The main component of the French drug Sculptra, which provides a double effect of rejuvenation and improvement of facial shape is a synthesized polylactic acid (SPA). In comparison with a similar substance that is isolated from the body of animals that contains animal proteins, SPA does not lead to the manifestation of allergic reactions, as well as sensibilization of tissues which could immunologically cause mediated growth in their sensitivity. Thus, over time facial asymmetry does not occur.
The external attractiveness of the skin, its rejuvenation from the inside is achieved through the active synthesis of collagen fibers. This leads to an increase in elasticity, smoothness of the skin, and a visual effect of its tightening. After the injection of Sculptra hydrogel into the deep layers of the dermis, the natural production of collagen almost doubles by 40%. The aesthetic effect, which manifests itself gradually, persists for a long time even after the complete elimination of SPA from the body as a result of its break down.
Summarizing the effectiveness of Sculptra, we can say that its main advantages are as follows:
The active component of the hydrogel polylactic acid stimulates collagen production in the deep layers of the dermis. SPA restores the density and elasticity of the skin, visibly changing its structure and appearance. The effect of fullness of facial shapes, lifting and youth appearance lasts for 2 years or more, even after the complete elimination of the drug from the body as SPA has a prolonged effect.
