Collagen Biostimulators

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates new collagen for firmer, tighter skin. Collagen is an essential protein that provides structure for your connective tissues. 

In your teens and 20s, collagen is abundant. It keeps your skin firm, tight, and supple. As you age, collagen levels gradually decline. This deficiency may cause your skin to appear thin, wrinkled, and crepey.

By triggering new collagen production, Sculptra provides long-lasting results. In many cases, men and women continue to see improvements for up to two years* after their first injection.

How does Sculptra work?

Sculptra works differently than traditional fillers. While hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are gel-like substances that produce instant results and slowly break down over time, Sculptra’s initial volume can dissipate within days of injection.

Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible and synthetic form of lactic acid that can stimulate new collagen and promote higher cell turnover when injected beneath the skin. It helps build the structure for your skin that appears natural. 

What types of wrinkles can Sculptra treat?

Sculptra treats static wrinkles that develop when your skin loses volume. Without a strong dermal structure, your skin has no support. It starts to sag and forms deep wrinkles, such as:

• Nasolabial folds
• Sagging jowls
• Marionette lines
• Sunken cheeks
• Hollow temples

Static wrinkles are visible even when your face is at rest. Most static lines appear in the lower half of your face, but they can develop anywhere that your skin loses volume. Sculptra can help soften these lines and plump up your skin without looking overdone.

What can I expect from Sculptra?

As a collagen stimulator, Sculptra usually requires a few treatments to achieve long-term results. You may experience minor swelling, bruising, and redness after your injections, but these effects should subside within hours or days. 

Over the next 2-3 weeks, your skin will appear smoother and firmer.

How long does Sculptra last?

While most men and women enjoy noticeable results for up to two years, those who invest in high-quality skin care can see improvements for five years or more.*
