As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles andfolds over time.

Results appear gradually and can last up to two years.

If you want to appear more youthful – looking – without appearing like you’ve had work done – then chances are Sculptra may be a good choice for you.

Collagen Is Key

A SOURCE OF SMOOTH SKIN

Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deep dermis that gives skin structure and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps maintain the skin’s shape, while keeping it smooth and hydrated. A healthy supply of collagen makes for a more youthful-looking complexion.

HOW DOES SCULPTRA WORK?

Collagen production in the body decreases as you get older and/or are exposed to the sun. Wrinkles are one of the first visible signs of this. SCULPTRA is injected into the deep layer of the skin where collagen naturally exists and is made. SCULPTRA works by initially filling a wrinkle with small PLLA beads. As the beads biodegrade the body may produce new collagen where SCULPTRA is injected. SCULPTRA is injected with multiple small injections using a fine needle to correct nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, other facial wrinkles or fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region where this injection technique is appropriate.

HOW LONG DO SCULPTRA TREATMENT EFFECTS LAST?

In a U.S. clinical study, treatment results for some subjects lasted for up to 25 months after the last treatment session. However, the improvement depended on the severity of the contour deficiency that a subject had before treatment. Discuss with your health care provider the optimal cosmetic correction you may expect.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET BACK TO MY DAILY ACTIVITIES?

Most patients are able to get back to their activities immediately following treatment.

WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO APPLY MAKE-UP AFTER TREATMENT?

Make-up may be applied a few hours after treatment if there are no complications such as open wounds or bleeding.
