About Sculptra
What is Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume lost due to aging while stimulating collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra gradually and subtly corrects facial wrinkles and folds. Made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material, Sculptra is naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen.
Personalized Treatment Plans
During your consultation, our expert injector will address your skin concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals. They will recommend whether Sculptra is the best dermal filler for you based on your unique needs, ensuring a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.
Long-Lasting Results
Subtle results from Sculptra injections can typically be seen within a month. These results continue to build as new collagen takes up to 6 months to form. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, depending on individual metabolism and skin characteristics.
How Does Sculptra Work
Sculptra (PLLA) is a bio-stimulating treatment that addresses the underlying causes of aging skin, primarily collagen loss. Once injected into the face, Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to the gradual restoration of facial volume and a dramatic improvement in skin texture. Results become noticeable after 2-4 sessions, depending on individual concerns.
