What is Sculptra and how does it work?

Sculptra é um collagen biostimulator à base de ácido poli-L-láctico.
Ele não tem ação preenchedora imediata: sua função é estimular os fibroblastos a produzirem colágeno novo, reforçando a estrutura da pele de dentro para fora.
O efeito é progressivo e natural, com melhora de firmeza, elasticidade e espessura da pele ao longo de 3 to 6 months.

Main indications:

  • Flacidez leve a moderada no rosto e corpo;

  • Prevention of structural aging;

  • Melhora de contorno facial de forma sutil;

  • Firmeza em áreas corporais como braços, abdômen e glúteos.

O que são os preenchimentos e como eles funcionam?

Os preenchimentos, como ácido hialurônico (Restylane, Belotero) ou hidroxiapatita de cálcio (Radiesse), têm ação imediata: eles restauram volume perdido, remodelam contornos e suavizam sulcos e rugas profundas.
Diferente do Sculptra, os preenchimentos atuam diretamente no ponto aplicado, moldando e preenchendo áreas específicas.

Main indications:

  • Preenchimento de sulcos nasogenianos (bigode chinês);

  • Olheiras e têmporas encovadas;

  • Definição de mandíbula e queixo;

  • Harmonização labial e volumização discreta.

Qual é melhor para mim?

Não existe resposta única: o melhor tratamento depende do seu objetivo, da avaliação médica e das características da sua pele e estrutura facial.

Na Clínica Dra. Renata Ralha, muitos pacientes se beneficiam da combinação de ambos:

  • Sculptra para tratar flacidez e melhorar qualidade da pele;

  • Preenchimento para ajustar pontos específicos de volume e contorno.

A decisão final sempre é feita em consulta, com análise individualizada e alinhamento de expectativas.
