Sculptra

Sculptra, also known by its generic name, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is an FDA-approved dermal filler used to address facial wrinkles and restore lost volume in a non-surgical manner. It is different from many other dermal fillers, as it works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production rather than simply adding volume.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is injected beneath the skin's surface, where it gradually encourages the body to produce more collagen. This collagen stimulation helps to improve skin texture, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost facial volume over time. The effects are subtle and long-lasting, often lasting up to two years or more, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation.

Sculptra is commonly used to treat smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and other signs of facial aging throughout the cheeks. Multiple treatment sessions are typically required to achieve the desired results.
