Collagen loss? No more! See which modern treatments work wonders

As the years go by, our skin begins to change. The first wrinkles, sagging, loss of volume and radiance are some of the obvious signs of a process that begins as early as the age of 25: the gradual loss of collagen. Collagen, the foundation of skin elasticity and density, naturally decreases over time, significantly affecting the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

The importance of collagen

Collagen is one of the main proteins in the dermis, responsible for the structure, strength and stability of the skin. With age, collagen fibers weaken and thin, while at the same time the levels of elastin and hyaluronic acid decrease. The result is skin that is less firm, dehydrated and vulnerable to wrinkles.

This deterioration is enhanced by both endogenous (hormonal and genetic) and exogenous (environmental, such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation) factors. Thus, the need for effective treatments that do not simply cover the problem but activate the skin’s natural regeneration processes is becoming increasingly urgent.

The answer from science: Biostimulation with Sculptra®

The Derma-Act clinic proposes an advanced and completely safe solution based on the activation of the skin’s own cells: biostimulation with Sculptra®. This is the first treatment approved by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance that activates the natural production of collagen by fibroblasts.

Unlike fillers that temporarily fill wrinkles, Sculptra acts over time and deep in the skin, restoring the structure and density of the skin from within. The process begins one or two weeks after the session, with visible results such as:

• Smoothing of the skin
• Reduced pores
• Tightened facial contours
• Hydration and improved brightness
• Improvement of scars, pigmented lesions and redness

Long-term results and natural appearance

The results of Sculptra are impressive:

• Up to 66.5% increase in collagen after just three months
• Duration of results up to 25 months
• 86.3% satisfaction rate after 2 years
• 80% of patients rate the results as “excellent”

The treatment protocol is adapted depending on the age and needs of each individual. On average, 3 sessions are recommended every 4-6 weeks with 1-2 vials per session, while 1-2 sessions per year are recommended to maintain the results.

Sculptra® is also not limited to the face. It is applied with excellent results to:

• Neck and décolleté
• Hands
• Abdomen (e.g. after pregnancy or weight loss)
• Knees
• Buttocks (for lifting and eliminating cellulite)

In addition, it can be ideally combined with laser treatments, such as PicoSure®, for overall rejuvenation, especially in skin with strong signs of photoaging.
