What is Sculptra?

The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that has been used in medical devices for many years. PLLA works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production, leading to a gradual increase in skin thickness and volume.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra is a bio-stimulating treatment. Sculptra works by addressing the underlying cause of aging skin from loss of collagen. Once injected in the face, Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to restoration of facial volume over time and a dramatic improvement of the skin texture. Results are natural and become noticeable after 2-4 sessions (based on individual concerns).

What to Expect?

During the treatment session, your healthcare provider will inject Sculptra into targeted areas of the face using a fine needle. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and chin. The injections are typically administered in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

How long do results last?

The results of Sculptra treatment are long-lasting, typically lasting up to two years or more. However, individual results may vary, and maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired outcome.
