What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a unique dermal filler composed of a substance called poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) which designed to reverse the signs of aging by stimulating new collagen production in the treatment area. Sculptra is a liquid injectable treatment that provides natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation by stimulating natural collagen production in the treatment areas to create a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. The active ingredient, poly-l-lactic acid, triggers collagenases once injected. This new collagen production provides remarkable facial rejuvenation and body contouring results.
Sculptra can help correct the appearance of a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, volume loss, hollowness, cellulite, and stretch marks. Sculptra is indicated for injection into the deep dermis, where it provides enhanced structural support and acts as a new collagen stimulator, resulting in skin that is firmer, tighter, and more youthful looking overall. It takes 4 to 6 weeks to see the effect of each Sculptra treatment, and depending on the area, it can take three or four treatments spaced about one month apart. Ultimately, after about four to six months of treatment, you will see the full cosmetic results of your Sculptra injections.
