Poly-L-lactic Acid
Sculptra is made from a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material called Poly-L-lactic acid. This substance has been used in medical applications for many years, including dissolvable stitches.

Collagen Stimulation
When Sculptra is injected into the skin, it works by stimulating the production of collagen, a naturally occurring protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging and wrinkles.

Gradual Results
Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra offers gradual results. It may take a few weeks to several months for the full effects to become apparent. This is because it takes time for the body to naturally produce new collagen in response to the treatment.
Treatment Areas
Sculptra is commonly used to address volume loss in the mid-face, cheeks, and temples. It can also be used to improve the appearance of smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and chin wrinkles.
