Sculptra Collagen Stimulator (Smart Filler)

Sculptra Smart Filler treatment is a medical aesthetic treatment that rejuvenates the skin by acting from the inside out, enabling the repair of volume loss by triggering the skin's own natural collagen production. The Sculptra filler material, which contains poly-L-lactic acid, shows an effect beyond creating an instant volume effect. It is injected into the lower layers of the skin. There, it stimulates collagen production. It activates the skin's self-repair and renewal process. In this way, depressions, sagging, and lines that occur on the face over time are naturally reduced. The skin regains a strong structure. It regains the elasticity it has lost. The reason Sculptra is known as a smart filler is that it not only provides temporary fullness but also provides a permanent rejuvenation effect in the long term. The effects of a few sessions of Sculptra smart filler application can maintain their permanence for up to two years. It is an attractive option for people who desire a natural and gradual skin regeneration in a non-surgical way. Medical Aesthetic Doctor Dr. Lida Çiteli explained what people are curious about regarding the Sculptra smart filler application, which reshapes facial features and eliminates signs of aging.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a product used to give the face a more natural, youthful, and soft contour and to add volume to areas of the face over time. Acting as a kind of bio-stimulator, Sculptra is an agent that stimulates the person's own cells to produce collagen. At the end of an application of one to four sessions, the skin creates its own collagen. The excessively plump appearance that occurs when too much facial filler is used in the cheeks does not occur in the Sculptra smart filler application. It generally promises a gradual and subtle facial renewal.

Why is Collagen Important?

Collagen is the protein found in the highest amount in the human body. One-third of all our proteins consist of collagen. Collagens, which connect cells to each other, are a strong fibrous protein consisting of long and thin molecules. It gives strength and flexibility to the skin. In individuals under the age of 35, collagen in the middle layers of the skin provides new cell growth and restoration.

From the age of 35, the body's collagen production begins to decrease progressively. The fact that the skin produces less and less collagen causes the support system, which was strong when young, to deteriorate as age progresses. Small gaps formed under the skin deepen over time. As a result of this, wrinkles and folds occur.

Collagen supplements and skin creams sold on the market are becoming increasingly popular. However, these products act from the skin surface. Collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin. Therefore, the effect of these products remains limited to moisturizing. When we use collagen supplements, our body perceives this supplement only as a protein. Therefore, it does not show a different effect on the structure of our skin than proteins passing through digestion. The most effective way to restructure and strengthen our skin is to encourage collagen production in the skin layers.

Why Does Collagen Production Decrease Over Time?

We can talk about many factors in the decrease of collagen production. However, the primary factor is advancing age. Smoking and unprotected exposure to the sun accelerate the body's collagen breakdown. Sugar and alcohol consumption are also among the factors that harm the body's collagen production. A stressful lifestyle harms the skin, just as it does to other body systems and organs. Therefore, struggling with stress throughout life is of great importance for general health status.

Genetic factors are effective throughout our entire lives. It can be said that genetic factors also have an effect on the decline in collagen production. It is not possible to completely prevent collagen breakdown. However, we can slow down collagen breakdown with the precautions we take.

Take care not to go out in the sun without using sunscreen. Make sunscreen a part of your daily life routine. Adopt a healthy and balanced diet routine as much as possible. Adopt a more physically active lifestyle. Stay away from alcoholic beverages and cigarettes. All these precautions can ensure that the collagen level in your skin is maintained for as long as possible. If signs of aging have started to show themselves on your skin, you need to get professional help.

How Does Sculptra Collagen Stimulator (Smart Filler) Help?

When aging signs such as wrinkles, volume loss, and lines begin to be seen on your skin, Sculptra becomes effective in restructuring the collagen structure. Sculptra Collagen stimulator is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure applied against signs of aging. It is applied in cases where the body cannot sufficiently perform collagen production. Thanks to the Sculptra collagen stimulator, the collagen level rises and the skin gains a smooth appearance. Volume is regained in areas experiencing volume loss. Fold gaps are filled with new and strong skin cells.

To Which Areas is Sculptra Collagen Stimulator (Smart Filler) Applied?

The areas and problems where Sculptra collagen stimulator is applied are as follows:

• Nasolabial folds
• Smile lines
• Non-surgical butt lift
• Reducing the appearance of scar tissue
• Chin wrinkles
• Wrinkles formed around the mouth
• Reduction in the appearance of cellulite
• Elbow, chest, and knee folds

Sculptra aims to regain the facial volume and plump appearance that begins to decrease over time. It performs all these by encouraging the skin's collagen production.

Filler materials may consist of hyaluronic acid or animal collagens. They reduce the appearance of lines by filling the dermis layer located under the wrinkles. These filler materials can be in liquid or gel structure. Dermal filler materials act immediately and this effect continues for months.

Collagen stimulators like Sculptra, on the other hand, restore the skin structure located in the lower layers of the skin and are used to eliminate wrinkles formed in the skin. The results obtained with Sculptra emerge gradually and can maintain their effect for up to 12 to 20 months.

Why Should We Prefer Sculptra?

Gravity and the aging factor negatively affect our face, which was once tight, plump, and wrinkle-free. This situation harms our self-confidence and self-perception. However, it should be noted that all these negativities are not without solutions.

Botox applications can provide a solution for our wrinkles. However, botox acts for a short period and needs to be repeated frequently. Dermal filler applications also ensure the filling of deep folds located around the mouth. It ensures the elimination of volume losses experienced in the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Sometimes botox and filler applications are not enough to eliminate the signs of aging on our skin. With weight loss or advancing age, the structure and volume to support the fillers may remain insufficient. Sculptra helps the fillers to form a solid layer. It strengthens the collagen tissue of the skin and therefore the skin structure.

Which Areas Can Be Treated With Smart Filler (Sculptra)?

Cheeks and temples, which take on a sunken state due to volume loss, are among the most obvious signs of an aging face. Many patients obtain successful results in the jaw and jawline with Sculptra. On the other hand, most women apply for Sculptra injection against folds and wrinkles formed in the chest area. Thanks to Sculptra, it is possible to eliminate these signs of aging. Just as Sculptra is used in the upper parts of the neck, it is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment procedure that can also be applied for cellulite and butt lifting. It is suitable for use in the lower parts of the body as well.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra, which allows us to stimulate the body's collagen production and ensures the revitalization of the skin, ensures that the skin regains the volume and structure it has lost. Its effect is not superficial. On the contrary, Sculptra, showing its effect within the deep dermis, adds fullness and volume to the face over time. It ensures the opening of folds. Results emerge between 4 to 7 months.

Who Are Suitable Candidates for Smart Filler (Sculptra) Treatment?

Due to the aging process or rapid weight loss, or due to lipoatrophy in the face, it leads to gaps and volume loss. If you are also experiencing these and similar problems, you may be a suitable candidate for the Sculptra Procedure. Although many people think of Sculptra treatment in their middle age, Sculptra treatment gives positive results in many women and men around the age of 25 as well. To be sure whether the Sculptra application is the right treatment for you, you can consult with your Medical Aesthetic Doctor or Dermatologist Physician.

When Do the Results of Sculptra Treatment Emerge?

It is not possible to see the results of the Sculptra application immediately. The treatment giving successful results is shaped according to many factors such as the level of volume loss the person is experiencing and their age. It needs a period of 4 to 7 months for the results to become visible. Patients can observe the change in their skin gradually for eight months. At the end of 8 months, the definitive results emerge clearly. A success rate valid for everyone cannot be mentioned, as each patient's personal conditions vary. Sculptra may not be a suitable treatment procedure for patients who want to obtain immediate results. However, Sculptra is an attractive treatment option for those who want to obtain successful and long-term results by acting patiently.
