Sculptra
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that immediately plump the skin with hyaluronic acid, Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This process helps improve skin elasticity, structure, and overall appearance.
Typically, Sculptra is used to address concerns such as facial volume loss, hollow areas like the cheeks or temples, and deeper folds such as nasolabial lines. The treatment occurs in sessions spaced weeks apart, with gradual improvements that can last up to two years or more, depending on the individual’s response.
Sculptra requires minimal downtime, though temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur. It’s an ideal option for individuals seeking a gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation of their facial contours rather than immediate volumizing effects.
