Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler that works to restore facial volume and contour lost over time due to aging or illness. It utilizes poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production in the skin, providing a natural and longer-lasting solution for those looking to achieve more youthful features.

The treatment process typically involves three injections over the course of a few months, with results that can last up to two years. Sculptra is generally used on areas of the face where there is visible volume loss such as the cheeks, temples, jawline and chin. However, treatments can be customized depending on individual needs and goals.

Unlike other dermal fillers which use hyaluronic acid as their primary active ingredient, PLLA works differently by gradually stimulating your own collagen production as opposed to simply filling wrinkles or lines with an artificial material. This ensures that you remain natural-looking with results appearing gradually over time instead of immediately after each injection. The PLLA also helps maintain skin elasticity and hydration levels which can further enhance your results over time.

In addition to its ability to provide natural-looking volume and contouring in all the right places, Sculptra can also offer other benefits such as improving you skin’s texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and even sun spots. The treatment is highly customizable so you can get just the right amount of lift without going overboard resulting in an incredibly natural look! And because it stimulates collagen growth from within your skin cells it can help promote younger-looking skin for much longer than some other non-invasive treatments available today!
