What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an advanced dermal filler designed to stimulate collagen production and restore facial volume gradually. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works over time to replace lost collagen, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for addressing facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss, helping you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

How Does Sculptra Work?

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical applications for decades. When injected into the skin, Sculptra stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring facial volume and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. The results develop over several months, offering a subtle and natural enhancement.
