Recover Restore Revive

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a dermal filler that is used to restore lost volume in the face. As we age, we naturally lose volume in the face which can lead to deep folds, hollow areas, and indentations. If you are looking to replace lost volume and rejuvenate your face, Sculptra may be the right choice.

Sculptra Dermal Filler

First approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of lipoatrophy in people with HIV, Sculptra Aesthetic dermal filler was approved for treating wrinkles and folds on the face in 2014. The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, PLLA. This is a collagen stimulator, meaning it boosts collagen production in the skin. This provides a long-lasting, natural looking result.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is injected into the skin to dimmish facial wrinkles and folds. As a result, PLLA stimulates the production of collagen and works to gradually restore fullness to the face. Consequently, the face gains a softer, more youthful appearance.

While you may notice results immediately, it can take a few months to see the full results of your Sculptra treatment. Typically, most people need three injections spread out over the course of 3 or 4 months, but this varies by person.
