Sculptra

Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable treatment primarily used for facial rejuvenation and the correction of shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds. Its main ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production in the skin. Unlike other dermal fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually over a series of treatments, typically spaced several weeks apart.

How Sculptra Works:

  1. Stimulation of Collagen Production: Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin where it stimulates the body's natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain the skin's structure and elasticity.

  2. Gradual Improvement: Results appear gradually over a few months as the newly produced collagen strengthens and smoothens the skin. This leads to a more natural-looking improvement compared to immediate fillers.

  3. Longevity: The effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, making it a long-lasting option for those looking to reduce signs of aging.
