SCULPTRA
Sculptra is a form of filler that helps to replace collagen in the subcutaneous tissues and deep dermis. This collagen often depletes as we age. Sculptra works to restore volume in glutes, in hands, and in areas where there are deep facial wrinkles, as these areas typically show signs of aging. This treatment offers natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment primarily used to restore and replenish lost facial volume. Made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance, Sculptra is injected into targeted areas of the face to replenish volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds. Unlike other dermal fillers that provide immediate results by adding volume directly, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. When injected, Sculptra triggers the body's collagen production process, gradually replacing lost volume and improving skin texture over time. This results in a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance that can last for up to two years or longer. Sculptra can also be injected into the glutes and hands to add fullness and reduce signs of aging.
