ABOUT SCUPLTRA
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator that improves skin quality and helps restore facial volume. It does so by naturally stimulating collagen production that decreases with age. It is different from hyaluronic acid fillers because it gradually and subtly corrects facial wrinkles and folds over time.
Sculptra was first approved in 1999 in Europe and is currently available in more than 40 countries globally. Sculptra is made from a material called poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic polymer that has been used in the human body since 1960. The product itself is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen, leaving behind refreshed & revitalized skin.
What is Sculptra?
how Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra (PLLA) is a bio-stimulating treatment that addresses the underlying causes of aging skin, primarily collagen loss. Once injected into the face, Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to the gradual restoration of facial volume and a dramatic improvement in skin texture. Results become noticeable after 2-4 sessions, depending on individual concerns.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Sculptra is a great option for those who want to improve the quality of their skin for a naturally refreshed look. During your consultation, our expert injector will address your skin concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals.

Subtle results from Sculptra injections can typically be seen within a month. These results continue to build as new collagen takes up to 6 months to form. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, depending on individual metabolism and skin characteristics.
