What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a powerful collagen stimulator. Rather than adding immediate volume like traditional fillers, Sculptra gradually rebuilds your skin’s structure by encouraging natural collagen production. The result is a subtle, long-lasting restoration of facial volume and smoothness that can last up to two years.
How Sculptra Works
-
Injection: Sculptra is placed into the deep dermis where collagen loss occurs.
-
Stimulation: PLLA particles stimulate fibroblasts to create new collagen.
-
Gradual Results: Collagen rebuilds over time, with visible improvements in texture, firmness, and volume developing over several months.
-
Long-Lasting: Results can last 18 to 24 months with proper treatment and care.
