What is Sculptra?
Deep wrinkles and fine lines can be smoothed out cosmetically with dermal fillers like Sculptra. Sculptra is a gel-like, poly-L-lactic acid-based product approved by the FDA that promotes collagen production.
How does it work?
This filler will be injected by a health care provider beneath your skin where you wish it to look smoother or fuller. A few days after therapy, your body absorbs poly-L-lactic acid, a collagen stimulant that helps your cells make more collagen.Your skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissues are all made of the protein collagen, which gives these tissues their strength, structure, and support.In contrast to conventional fillers that offer instant volume, Sculptra restores facial volume and structure gradually over time by promoting the body’s natural production of collagen.

Dermal fillers like Sculptra can last more than two years as they help rebuild the skin’s structural foundation. For deep wrinkles, Sculptra is not a permanent solution.
