Treatment Overview
Elasticity Renewal Sculptra is a highly sought-after anti-aging treatment in Korea, designed to restore firmness, bounce, and resilience to aging skin by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that gradually rebuilds the skin’s collagen and elastin network.
This makes Elasticity Renewal Sculptra especially effective for patients with skin laxity, fine lines, and loss of dermal strength. In Korean dermatology clinics, Sculptra is often used as part of advanced anti-aging programs, providing a natural, long-lasting improvement in skin elasticity and overall youthfulness.
Purpose and Benefits
- Elasticity Boost: Improves skin’s resilience and firmness.
- Collagen & Elastin Renewal: Stimulates natural skin regeneration.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines and folds around the mouth, eyes, and cheeks.
- Skin Thickening: Strengthens dermal layers for tighter, healthier-looking skin.
- Long-Term Effect: Results last up to 18–24 months.
- Natural Anti-Aging: Delivers subtle, gradual improvements instead of drastic changes.
- Preventive Care: Helps younger patients maintain elasticity before sagging sets in.
Ideal Candidates
Elasticity Renewal Sculptra is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with decreased skin elasticity.
- Patients noticing wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin.
- Men and women seeking a natural, collagen-stimulating lift.
- Younger individuals wanting preventive elasticity maintenance.
- People who prefer long-lasting results over temporary fillers.
Possible Risks and Complications
Sculptra is FDA-approved and safe when performed by Korean dermatologists. Temporary side effects may include:
- Redness or Swelling: Common, fades within a few days.
- Tenderness or Bruising: Mild and short-lived.
- Small Lumps: Rare, minimized with Korean injection techniques and proper massage.
- Very Rare Risks: Nodules or uneven correction (avoided by expert application).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though Elasticity Renewal Sculptra is a non-surgical procedure, its effects mimic surgical lifting by reinforcing the skin’s structural foundation:
- Deep Dermal Injection: PLLA particles injected into collagen-depleted areas.
- Collagen Remodeling: Gradual thickening and renewal of dermal layers.
- Injection Mapping: Customized placement in cheeks, temples, and jawline.
- Progressive Results: Natural improvements visible over weeks to months.
- Combination Protocols: Often paired with Shurink HIFU, Thermage FLX, or Botox for comprehensive elasticity care.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites.
- 1–3 Days: Minor bruising possible, usually fades quickly.
- 1–4 Weeks: Skin begins to feel firmer as collagen activation starts.
- 2–6 Months: Visible improvement in elasticity and wrinkle reduction.
- Downtime: Minimal—patients can resume daily activities right away.
Aftercare Tips:
- Follow the “5-5-5 massage rule”: Massage 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
- Avoid saunas, alcohol, and heavy exercise for 48 hours.
- Use hydrating serums and elasticity-boosting creams daily.
- Always wear SPF sunscreen to protect new collagen.
Results and Longevity
- Immediate: Subtle fullness from injection fluid (subsides in days).
- Short-Term (1–2 Months): Early firmness and skin renewal visible.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Maximum collagen and elasticity improvements.
- Long-Term (18–24 Months): Results last up to 2 years; repeat sessions may be needed.
