Youthful appearance for longer

Collagen is an extremely important component of our skin. As the main protein of connective tissue, it has a very high resistance to stretching and is responsible for its elasticity. Its gradual loss over the years, on the other hand, causes the skin to sag and develop wrinkles. Therefore, at a certain age it is worth thinking about supporting the production of this natural building block.

Sculptra, composed of polylactic acid, is just such a support. By stimulating the production of natural collagen in the skin, it allows to smooth existing furrows and wrinkles, as well as to restore the lost volume of the skin, thus ensuring the filling of facial contours and the overall effect of rejuvenation.

The procedure involves injecting the skin with Sculptra. To ensure the best distribution of the product, the treated area should be massaged for several days after the treatment. Already after 2-3 treatments, performed at 4-6-week intervals, there is a gradual but noticeable improvement in the condition of the skin, which gains a youthful appearance. The effect is very natural and long-lasting - it lasts about 2 years.

FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of treatments and procedures.

How to make an appointment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

You can schedule a visit by calling 22 654 90 60 or via the website under Consultation appointments.

How do you choose the right treatment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

The best way to choose the right treatment at a plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic is to start with a consultation with a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical interview, familiarize themselves with the patient's expectations, and assess their health and the specific nature of the aesthetic problem. Based on this information, they will advise on which treatments will be appropriate to achieve the desired results. The consultation also allows you to discuss the available options, their potential effects, and any possible risks, which makes it easier to make an informed decision.

What are the risks associated with plastic surgery procedures?

Every plastic surgery procedure, like any medical intervention, involves certain risks. The most common complications include infections, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and scarring. Less common complications include blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and sensory disturbances in the operated area. Proper preparation of the patient, careful qualification for the procedure, and the experience and professionalism of the medical team significantly minimize these risks. It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period, which allows for a faster and safer recovery.

Are aesthetic medicine procedures painful?

Aesthetic medicine treatments are usually minimally invasive and involve minimal discomfort. Most of them, such as injections or laser therapy, are performed using local anesthetics, which significantly reduces discomfort. Patients may experience slight pricking, burning, or tightness of the skin, but these symptoms usually disappear quickly after the procedure. If necessary, the doctor will always select appropriate pain relief methods to ensure maximum comfort for patients.
