Abstract
Purpose: The objective of the present work was to evaluate the percentage of neocollagenesis induction of the Sculptra® in different forms of reconstitution.
Methods: For this, 150 male Swiss mice were used to which saline solution or reconstituted Sculptra® were applied to the back subcutaneous tissue immediately before application (0 h), 2, 24 or 72 h before administration and were euthanized after 15, 30 and 60 days of administration of the material in a number of 10/group/day. Their backs were removed for histological analysis and immunoexpression for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). The data was statistically analyzed (p < 0.05).
Results: After 30 days of administration, the Sculptra® 72 h group showed greater collagen formation than the control (p = 0.016) and 0h groups (p = 0.023). After 60 days, the Sculptra® 24 and 72 h groups also showed greater collagen formation than the control (p = 0.025) and 0 h groups ( p = 0.039). After 30 days of administration, the Sculptra® 24 and 72 h groups showed higher immunoexpression for α-SMA (p = 0.001), as well as after 60 days (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: We can conclude that Sculptra® reconstituted 2, 24 and 72 h before its application has the potential to induce collagen after 60 days. Furthermore, there is greater expression of α-SMA after reconstitution 24 and 72 h before Sculptra® injection, after 30 and 60 days. No level of evidence is needed for Basic Science, Animal Study, Cadaver Study, and Experimental Study Articles.

期刊介绍:
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE), Vereinigung der Deutschen Aesthetisch Plastischen Chirurgen (VDAPC), the Romanian Aesthetic Surgery Society (RASS), Asociación Española de Cirugía Estética Plástica (AECEP), La Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora (SACPER), the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe (RSE), the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISPAS), the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS), the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ESPRS), and the Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SCCP).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
