You probably already know that collagen is good for the skin. Collagen cells need to be sufficiently established within the skin to help the face look lively, as well as prevent wrinkles from becoming deeply etched and help maintain firm skin for longer. Unfortunately, as we age, collagen gradually decreases and does not regenerate again. Ultraviolet rays, drinking, smoking, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can also accelerate collagen decline. When this happens, areas such as the temples can also look sunken.

For those who are worried about how to improve this, I’d like to introduce Sculptra.



Sunken Temples, What Problems They Can Cause

The temples around the eyes need to have an appropriate amount of volume to prevent the face from looking uneven, create a softer impression, and even make the face look younger. But as people age, some may notice that their temples look especially hollow. When that happens, the cheekbones can appear more pronounced, the area around the eyes can look darker, and the overall impression can also seem different. Some people try to hide sunken temples with makeup or improve skin tone with brightening cosmetics, but if the volume in the temples itself is restored, you may see more satisfying results.



Sculptra, for Restoring Volume

Sculptra is often referred to as a collagen stimulator because it helps promote the production of insufficient collagen. Rather than inserting an artificial substance, it stimulates your own collagen cells to become active, so over time the skin may become firmer and look more youthful. For that reason, although the change does not appear immediately, it can be a good option for people who want aesthetic benefits without obvious changes.



Benefits of Sculptra

Because Sculptra is injected into the skin rather than requiring an incision, the burden of the procedure is relatively low. Usually, the procedure is performed after applying a topical anesthetic ointment, so you do not need to worry too much about pain, and you can return to daily life right away. Sculptra is especially often used to improve sunken areas. It can add volume not only to hollow temples, but also to areas that have become deeply indented due to loss of cheek volume.

It can help restore soft facial contours and make the skin look firmer and smoother. In addition, if there are deep scars on the skin due to trauma or other causes, Sculptra may also be used to help improve them.



To Help the Results Last Longer

Sculptra is not permanent. Results vary from person to person, but they may last from 1 year to up to 2 years. Depending on your skin condition and the area you want to treat, you can maintain the effect by receiving the procedure periodically. It is recommended that you first consult with a clinic that fully understands Sculptra and can perform the procedure according to your individual situation, and it is also important to receive proper aftercare afterward. If strong heat or irritation is applied, it may be difficult for the Sculptra material to be sufficiently absorbed and activated, so you should avoid forcefully rubbing the area with your hands or frequently going to places with a lot of heat, such as saunas or jjimjilbangs.

Especially for the first week after the procedure, extra caution is recommended. Alcohol consumption and smoking can also trigger inflammatory reactions, so it is better to avoid them. Many people seek Sculptra for cosmetic purposes because it can help improve signs of aging or areas of the face that lack fullness. If you have an area that has long been a concern, it may change with the right procedure and care, so please consult a board-certified dermatologist.
