The Truth of One Bottle of Sculptra
Hello.
This is Director Wi Young-jin.
Sculptra is a procedure that stimulates collagen production within the skin.
It does not work by injecting immediate volume like fillers
but rather helps the skin naturally
to replenish over time, which is
its main feature.
After the procedure
approximately 6 weeks to 9 weeks later
the collagen regeneration process starts
around 3 months
you can definitely feel the changes.
There are individual differences
but in cases where it is well maintained
the effects can last up to 2 years.
It has been gaining popularity recently
but in fact, Sculptra has been used globally
for quite some time
so you can consider it a proven procedure for safety.
How much treatment can be done with one bottle of Sculptra?
This is the part that many people
are most curious about.
The dosage of Sculptra is
precisely calculated in bottle units.
Because ultimately what is injected into the skin
is the number of particles.
To put it simply
think of whether sugar cubes were dissolved in a large cup
or in a shot glass.
That is the difference.
If you dissolve it in a large cup, it may appear to have a lot
but the concentration becomes diluted and the effect is weak
if you dissolve it in a shot glass
the concentration is high, and you can definitely feel the effect.
So even if the price may seem cheap
if there are not enough particles actually going in
it may be difficult to achieve the desired results.
To be honest
if the price is excessively low
I find it hard to recommend.
When receiving consultations
it is better to check not just the price
but also whether genuine products are being used.
Now let me tell you the possible scope with one bottle of Sculptra.
🍀Nasolabial folds
🍀Marionette lines
🍀Temporal area
This is the typical range.
Especially in the temporal area
the difficulty level of the procedure is high
and many places do not perform
it well.
There is a risk of nodules if done incorrectly.
However, a qualified specialist with plenty of experience
can perform this safely,
and there are indeed clinics that regularly carry out this procedure.
In conclusion,
it is certainly possible to achieve meaningful changes with just one bottle of Sculptra
but if you want full facial lifting or
body treatment you should consider
2 to 3 bottles or more.
This part is best discussed directly with a specialist
to plan appropriately.
If you tell them your skin condition and the areas you want to target
you can receive more accurate information on how many bottles you will need.
Areas besides the face where Sculptra can be used
Sculptra is not just used on the face
it is also utilized for body contour improvement.
🍀Buttocks (hip dip)
It fills in the sunken areas between the pelvis and thighs
to create a three-dimensional curve.
🍀Inner and outer thighs
It is good for enhancing elasticity and
refining smooth lines.
🍀Arms and upper arm area
It adds density and elasticity to the areas that become thin and sunk as you age.
🍀Skin above the knees
It is also used when fine wrinkles or skin elasticity degradation
become noticeable.
The Mapo Station Dermatology Clinic offers
consultations not only for the face but also for body Sculptra,
so if you are interested, it may be good to inquire.
Points to be careful about during the procedure
Sculptra can rarely cause nodules during the collagen-promoting process,
which are uneven lumps.
This usually occurs when the hydration process before the procedure
was insufficient, or
the drug was not evenly distributed.
So there are really important points to note.
🍀Make sure it is a genuine product used in units of 1 bottle
🍀Whether a skilled specialist is injecting it evenly
These two points must be confirmed.
Ultimately, the results and satisfaction depend on
the experience and skill of the medical staff.
When choosing the Mapo Station Dermatology Clinic,
it is important to check whether there is an experienced specialist
and whether genuine products are guaranteed.
Commonly asked questions about Sculptra
(Q&A)
Q. Is it possible to do a full facial treatment with one bottle of Sculptra?
To be honest, it is difficult.
To improve the entire face,
usually 2 to 3 bottles or more are needed,
and one bottle is more suitable for improving specific areas.
Q. How is it different from fillers?
Fillers provide immediate volume
but Sculptra helps the skin produce collagen
over time.
So it is chosen when you want a much more natural
and gradual change.
Q. How long does the effect last?
It varies from person to person
but it is generally said to last up to 2 years.
Q. Are there any side effects?
Rarely nodules can occur,
but this can be prevented by the skill level of the injector
and whether genuine products are used.
