After age 20, you lose about 1% of collagen per year.7 Sculptra is the first and original FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) facial injectable that targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging due to collagen loss, gradually helping restore skin structure and volume
Poly-L-Lactic acid is safe and is naturally absorbed by the body. Sculptra is injected beneath the skin and can make facial fat loss (lipoatrophy). It will correct or improve shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds by stimulating the reproduction of collagen. Results are not immediate. Sculptra® provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. In a clinical study, the effects lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session in most patients.
Sculptra is most commonly used to treat cheeks, temple areas, jaw-lines, and jowls.
