Sculptra^™

Sculptra^™ is injected into the skin to correct the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) and to restore lost volume. Sculptra^™ is also used for patients who suffer from acne scarring as it improves skin texture while naturally improving these textural concerns. Sculptra^™ itself is a synthetic material known as ‘poly–L–lactic acid.’ It is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). Poly–L–lactic acid has been used for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants and other types of implants. Sculptra^™ is not like traditional fillers that “fill” or “plump” the skin. Instead, your own collagen will build around the molecule and cause the skin to increase in thickness.

Although very tolerable, patients will sit with a topical numbing cream on for approximately 1 hour. Sculptra^™ is then injected into the various areas of concern and requires approximately 3–4 treatments. The collagen growth does build upon one another, so it will take multiple treatments in order to achieve your final result. The effects of Sculptra^™ are quite long lasting, especially with maintenance treatments and can last for approximately 2–3 years.
