Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This helps restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works gradually over time, providing a more natural and subtle enhancement by encouraging the skin to rebuild its collagen network.

Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that helps replenish lost collagen in the skin. When injected into the targeted areas, PLLA particles stimulate the skin’s fibroblasts, which produce collagen. Over time, this process improves the skin’s structure and firmness, making it appear smoother and younger.

It is versatile and can be used to treat a variety of facial areas. It effectively treats smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines (lines around the mouth), and temple hollows, enhancing cheekbone structure and lifting sagging jowls. By targeting these areas, Sculptra® helps improve overall facial contour and skin quality.

People over 40 with sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume can benefit from Sculptra®. It is an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate their appearance. To get the best results from Sculptra®, candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations.

Results from Sculptra® treatments appear gradually. Initial improvements can be noticed almost immediately after the first treatment, with more significant changes developing over several months as the collagen production process continues. Most patients see optimal results after several treatments spaced a few weeks apart.

The results of Sculptra® are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits for more than two years. Long-lasting results are achieved by stimulating natural collagen production, which provides ongoing support and volume to the treated areas. Maintenance treatments can help extend the results even further.
