Sculptra
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler that can be used to restore facial volume lost due to aging or illness. This product contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates and restores collagen production.
It can be used to treat deep lines, creases, and folds to give a more youthful appearance.
Sculptra is safe and effective but isn’t recommended for people with allergies to any of its ingredients or for those with medical conditions that cause irregular scarring.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is injected into the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. It contains PLLA, which acts as a collagen stimulator, helping to gradually restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds. This results in a softer and more youthful appearance.
You may notice immediate results, but it can take a few months to see the full results of your treatment.
Your Sculptra specialist will work with you to determine the number of treatment sessions needed to achieve the best result. The average regimen consists of three injections spread out over three or four months.

Sculptra has recently gained popularity since it’s approval in Europe in 1999 for filling small facial deficits and is currently available in more than 40 countries around the world!
