Collagen Replacement
Sculptra is a synthetic, biocompatible material that is injected below the surface of the skin. It is made up of microspheres of poly-L-lactic acid. Sculptra is now approved for cosmetic use. Sculptra helps to improve the appearance of facial fat loss by increasing skin thickness in the treated area. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment and encourages your cells to produce MORE collagen. Collagen is a protein in your skin that provides structure, support, and strength. Collagen production over time will give you a more youthful appearance.

Sculptra
As we age, we lose collagen, which acts as the skin’s support structure and helps maintain its shape. In fact, 70% of our skin is composed of collagen, and collagen loss causes the skin to lose its elasticity and moisture.
Sculptra helps treat an underlying cause of facial aging—the loss of collagen. By helping stimulate your own natural collagen growth, Sculptra gradually adds volume that lifts the soft tissues and plumps skin from within.
What to expect from Sculptra
• Stimulates your own natural collagen growth
• Helps restore lost facial volume and provides support to the skin to improve the look of smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, preauricular wrinkles (the vertical wrinkles in front of the ears), radial cheek folds (vertical wrinkles below the cheek), and chin wrinkles
• Provides gradual and natural–looking results that become visible over a few months1-3
