A few months ago, I had the opportunity to learn how to inject Sculptra for volume replacement and liquid face lifting. As this was so different from the usual dermal fillers, I really did not know what to expect. I certainly did not realise how versatile a treatment it was going to be.
In my naivety, I assumed volume replacement was it. However, it does so much more! From filling out hollow temples, plumping up cheeks, flattening out nasolabial folds and marionette lines, to lifting the cheeks and improving skin texture. Oh it can help reduce acne scars too!
My brave volunteers have had 1-2 sessions each now, and the nasolabial folds, in particular respond amazingly well.
There is some downtime involved though. Some bruising & swelling. But in general, it's not that bad. A bit of concealer does the trick.
Our trainer, Dr Scott, a Dermatologist from Australia was fun! Great teacher and very encouraging. He thinks I have a good aesthetic eye, and am very confident with needles. Not surprising with my professional vampire background! I do enjoy it as well. The contours change immediately, so it's really very satisfying for me. And seeing the changes in my friends' faces as the skin thickens and lifts is great. Love it!
