Unlike toxin treatments that temporarily relax muscles to treat these lines, or filler substances that work by pushing up the dermis, Sculptra works by encouraging collagen growth, reconstructing the underlying structures of the skin. Sculptra is deposited deep within the dermis (rather than topically) to reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume from the inside out.

On average, the average patient requires three treatments over a few months. Results appear gradually during the treatment and the results can last as long as two years.

Sculptra Aesthetic is made with a biocompatible synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is naturally absorbed by the body. PLLA is FDA-approved and has been used worldwide since 1999. PLLA also has other medical uses, such as being used for dissolvable stitches.

As with all plastic surgery procedures, a number of factors are always at play that need to be considered by the surgeon. We work with you to make sure that Sculptra is the best fit for your situation and ensure your procedure produces the best effect possible.
