WHAT IS SCULPTRA®
Sculptra is a minimally invasive injectable treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Through the introduction of poly-L-lactic acid into the deeper layers of the skin, collagen is gradually rebuilt. The Sculptra procedure can restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline, while also minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike dermal fillers, which provide immediate results, Sculptra gradually enhances the skin’s structure and firmness, delivering a more natural-looking outcome over several months.
