Welcome to our Autumn blog!
We have had a super busy few months with our clinic relocation and open day, which was a huge success! Thank you to those of you who
supported us and for your gorgeous and generous gifts!
This season we are introducing a new treatment SCULPTRA to The Skin Studio. Continuing our ethical approach to treatment we focus upon bringing new treatments to meet the specific needs of our patient group. Iv been looking for a product that creates an opportunity to
improve volume loss for a while.
What do I mean by volume loss? As we age, our facial bones reduce in size making our face structure smaller (think of this like a wooden table that reduces in size).. At the same time, the fat pads that cover our bones also reduce in volume and our skin becomes more lax as the collagen and elastane production reduce by 25% (think of this as the table cloth that is over the table). The result of this physiological process is a small table with a table cloth that is too big!
How can SCULPTRA help? Sculptra stimulates the cells within the inner structure of the skin layers. It wakes up the collagen production process over time. This is a product for patients with severe volume loss (flattened areas of the face) and skin laicity (sagging, lines and wrinkles) A good example of this is flat cheeks and folds around the nose or an ill defined jaw and jowling.
How is it administered – via injection into the layers of the skin which is numbed prior to make this a very comfortable procedure.
- How long does it last – 2/3years
- How many treatments do I need – everyone is individual, however a minimum of two.
- How does Sculptra differ from Profhilo, and polynucleotides?
We will be releasing our next blog to address this question in the next few weeks. When is it available – Im attending a full day training in London early Nov with a follow up practical day mid November and then it will be available in clinic.
As ever, please DM us for more info.
