Sculptra
Promethean Clinic™ proudly offers Sculptra, an innovative injectable treatment designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, enhancing facial volume and smoothing wrinkles. Sculptra is unique as it targets the underlying causes of facial aging, not just the symptoms.
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic substance that has been used in medicine for many years. Sculptra works by gradually stimulating the growth of your own collagen, a key structural component in the skin that decreases as we age. The treatment involves injections into the deep dermis where collagen support structures are located. Typically, a series of treatments are needed, spaced over a few months, to achieve optimal results.
Sculptra, while primarily recognized for its remarkable efficacy in facial rejuvenation, also possesses versatile applications beyond facial treatments. This injectable is increasingly being used to enhance and restore volume in various body areas such as the buttocks, where it serves as a non-surgical alternative to traditional buttock augmentation. It can also be employed to correct cellulite and diminish the visibility of crepey skin, commonly seen in areas like the upper arms, thighs, and abdomen. This adaptability makes Sculptra a valuable option for those seeking comprehensive improvements in body aesthetics without the need for invasive surgery.

Pre-Treatment Care Instructions
To ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects, please follow these pre-care instructions:
- Avoid Certain Medications: Stop taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and fish oil supplements one week before treatment to reduce bruising and bleeding.

Post-Treatment
Care Instructions
Proper post-care is essential to achieve optimal results and minimize any potential side effects:

- Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the treated area for a few minutes at a time during the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling.
