Consultation with the doctor
During the consultation with the cosmetic doctor, ample time is taken to discuss everything. The cosmetic doctor looks at your skin structure and discusses which areas need extra volume and how many treatments this will require. You can also ask all your questions and express your wishes. The doctor will tell you how the treatment will proceed and what you can expect from the final result. A good explanation will be given about aftercare, any risks and the end result you can expect. Would you like to undergo the treatment? Then everything will be noted in your file and you will sign the treatment agreement together with the cosmetic doctor. Photographs are taken for your file, which can be compared with the final result.

Treatment
2.
Treatment
Sculptra will be injected into the spoken areas using a narrow needle. Most filler treatments are done without anaesthesia. Do you find this an unpleasant feeling? Then a numbing cream can be used in consultation with the doctor. To combat swelling, the skin will be cooled with an icepack after the treatment.
A connective tissue massage is recommended with this treatment as it stimulates the process and guarantees more beautiful results. The connective tissue massage is scheduled after the Sculptra treatment.

Aftercare

Aftercare
After treatment, you can go home immediately. Sometimes the skin will still be a little red and small bruises will appear. This will go away by itself and is not serious. You are advised to avoid sports and alcohol for at least the first 24 hours. Do not bring the skin into contact with extreme heat (tanning bed, sauna).

Treatments
Tight me up
Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates collagen production in the skin. This tightens the skin, gives back volume and can soften deep wrinkles. Because Sculptra stimulates your body to start making more collagen, it is a very natural treatment that provides long-term support.
However, the process takes time. The immediate results you are used to from your filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, you won't have with Sculptra. Collagen production has to get going and start bearing its fruit. On average, you will see the first effects after 6 weeks, but they will last much longer.
The best areas to treat with Sculptra are those prone to volume loss, such as the temples and cheeks. Wrinkles such as marionette lines and the nasolabial fold can also be beautifully softened.
To ensure the most beautiful results, massage is necessary. Initially to prevent you from getting nodules and then to give an extra boost to collagen production. You can do the massage yourself for the first few days after treatment, following your doctor's instructions. However, the connective tissue massage is best left to a specialist. We know the power of connective tissue massages after Sculptra. That is why the tight me up package allows you to visit our skin specialist twice.
Finally, you can provide additional support to the skin with Collagen Active from Yuugii. This collagen powder effectively provides the skin with key building blocks to support the body in producing new, firm and resilient collagen in the skin.
With the Tight me up treatment, you optimise your Sculptra results: two vials of Sculptra, two appointments for connective tissue massages AND collagen powder. Make an appointment now for non-binding advice. You can find us in The Hague, Bergschenhoek near Rotterdam.

Wat is een Sculptra behandeling?
Sculptra is een biostimulator die bestaat uit poly-L-melkzuur, een stof die de huid aanzet om zelf collageen te produceren. In tegenstelling tot traditionele fillers geeft Sculptra niet direct volume, maar herstelt het de huid geleidelijk van binnenuit. Na enkele weken tot maanden ziet u dat de huid steviger, voller en elastischer wordt. Het resultaat is subtiel, natuurlijk en houdt vaak meerdere jaren aan. Bij SkinSurgery beoordelen onze artsen altijd zorgvuldig of deze behandeling geschikt is voor uw huid en wensen.
When and for how long will you see results from Sculptra?
After your Sculptra treatment, your body needs to do the work of producing more collagen. The first visible changes are visible on average three months after your treatment. After four to six months after your treatment, the results are often optimal.
You will then enjoy your Sculptra treatment for 2-3 years.
What are possible risks of Sculptra treatment?
You may feel bumps under the skin immediately after the treatment. This is often swelling and will disappear within four weeks. If the bump remains noticeable for longer, it may be a small accumulation of the material used (polu-L-lactic acid) that has not been able to distribute evenly. These bumps take longer to disappear completely.
If a Sculptra bump does develop, it can cause discoloration of the skin. There are known cases where these bumps, also known as granulomas, have developed a year after the treatment. They can occur with an incorrect injection technique or when the area has not been massaged sufficiently. However, there are dilution massage techniques that can help to remedy Sculptra side effects if they occur. It is therefore extremely important to have your Sculptra treatment performed by a specialized cosmetic doctor.
Finally, keloid formation and hypertrophic scars can occur after a Sculptra treatment. Sculptra works by stimulating collagen; the biggest cause of keloid formation. If you are sensitive to this, consult your doctor to see if a Sculptra treatment is suitable for you.
How does sculptra treatment work?
A Sculptra treatment consists of a number of injections that are performed by a doctor. Before the treatments, your goals are discussed and the areas that need to be treated are determined. Based on this, the injection sites are marked where the Sculptra is injected. For many people, it is a painless, quick treatment that takes about 30 minutes. After the injection, the area is briefly massaged so that the Sculptra can spread well and any bumps are prevented. You can continue to massage the area yourself for the first week after the treatment. The doctor will show you how.
You can often resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment. It is normal to see extra volume in the areas where the injection was performed. This will disappear within a few days. The same applies to any bruising and swelling. If necessary, you can camouflage these with some make-up.
What is the difference between Radiesse and Sculptra?
Radiesse and Sculptra belong to the biostimulators, a category of injectables that stimulate the skin to produce new collagen. However, there are clear differences:
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite. This instantly fills areas where volume is lacking and ensures long-term collagen production. You'll see results immediately, which will continue to improve.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid. This product doesn't fill the skin immediately, but stimulates the skin to produce collagen over weeks to months. The effect therefore builds gradually, often after several treatments.
Both treatments provide firmer, smoother skin and a natural result, but the choice depends on your wishes and medical situation. Our doctors will advise you on this during your consultation.
Wat is de beste kliniek voor een Sculptra behandeling?
Een Sculptra-behandeling vraagt om ervaring en precisie. De beste kliniek is daarom een plek waar deskundige artsen werken, waar uitsluitend veilige en originele producten worden gebruikt, en waar u persoonlijke begeleiding krijgt . Van intake tot nazorg. Bij SkinSurgery Clinics voldoen we aan al deze voorwaarden. Onze artsen hebben ruime ervaring met biostimulatoren zoals Sculptra en nemen de tijd om samen met u een behandelplan op te stellen dat past bij uw huid en wensen
What is the aftercare after a Sculptra treatment?
To ensure optimal results and a gradual, long-lasting effect of Sculptra, it is important to follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions. Recommendations for aftercare include the following:
Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for the first 5 days after your treatment. Do this as directed by your doctor. Use a moisturizer to reduce friction during the massage.
Apply a cold compress wrapped in gauze or cloth (do not apply ice directly to the skin) for the first 24 hours after your treatment. This will help reduce any swelling.
You may wear makeup for a few hours after your Sculptra treatment, provided there are no complications (open wounds or bleeding).
Avoid sun exposure and UV tanning lamps until swelling and redness have subsided.
Avoid saunas/steam baths for 24 hours.
The effect of the Sculptra treatment will be visible after approximately 6 weeks.
For the best results, 2 or more (repeat) treatments are recommended. The doctor will discuss with you how many treatments you may need for your desired result. The effect of Sculptra remains visible for an average of 2 years. However, this depends on age, lifestyle and each person's personal collagen production.
