Sculptra Aesthetics

Sculptra Aesthetics®

Sculptra® Aesthetic is the only FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) facial injectable treatment that helps stimulate the skin’s own natural collagen production. It works gradually to restore the skin’s inner structure for a more youthful appearance

What is Collagen's Role in Aging?

As we age, we lose collagen, which acts as the skin’s support structure, and helps maintain its shape. In fact, 70% of our skin is composed of collagen, and collagen loss causes the skin to lose its elasticity and moisture. Sculptra® Aesthetic helps treat the underlying cause of facial aging — the loss of collagen. In doing so, it subtly and gradually adds volume that lifts the soft tissues and plumps skin from within.

What to Expect?

• Restores Facial Volume and Provides Support to the skin to improve the look of smile lines (called nasolabial folds), marionette lines, pre-auricular wrinkles (the vertical wrinkles in front of the ears), radial cheek folds (vertical wrinkles on the lower cheek) and chin wrinkles.
• Provides Gradual and Natural–Looking Results that become visible over a period of a few months1,2,3
• Long-Lasting—Lasts more than two years

How Does it Work?

Sculptra is a quick and practiacally painless injection, similar to dermal filler, and provides long-lasting results.
If you have sunken cheeks, temple indentations, or hollows under the eyes, Sculptra can be used to promote production of your body’s natural collagen — and it even continues to work long after you complete your treatment! Many patients have report continued volumizing effects for over three years!

How Many Treatments Will I need?

On average, a series of 3-6 treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and the treatment plan determined by you and your specialist.

Results from Sculptra are not immediate, although you may think that after your first treatment due to swelling. When the swelling subsides a few days after, you may again look the same way you did before the treatment. However, the poly-L-lactic acid will have already begun its magic.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC MADE OF?

Sculptra® Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that has been proven safe and has been used in medical products, including dissolvable sutures, for more than 30 years.
