Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that helps gradually replace the collagen loss ,which is the most common protein in the body used for the building of a framework in order to support cells and tissues. Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and it helps to rebuild collagen loss through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.

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 the body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Sculptra  stimulates collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.

On the day of your treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed. Then, once Sculptra is properly prepared, your medical provider will inject in areas of concern with a cannula or a needle depending on the treatment plan. Patients will see an immediate increase in volume. After 24 hours this will start to lower, it is due to the sterile water needed to mix with Sculptra. Your body will absorb the sterile water and leave behind the poly-L-lactic acid and this will then promote collagen production in the area.  Patients mostly have minimal to no discomfort with this procedure and may return to normal activities in 24 hours or less. 

Sculptra can benefit anyone who would love to correct the signs of aging, create collagen and enhance their natural beauty. A consultation is done prior to injection just to make sure that patients are a candidate for this. Anyone can have it no matter the skin type, all adults of all ages and all genders. 

Sculptra produces a progressive and natural improvement, which requires several treatment sessions. On average, 3 sessions in consecutive months are recommended. Logically, each case must be individually assessed by a physician to establish the most convenient number of treatments.

Patients might return to work and daily activities immediately after the procedure is done. Some of the results include the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure can boost the patient’s collagen development and it provides long-term natural-looking results. Moreover, it is hypoallergenic, smoothing the skin texture. It is a minimally invasive treatment with virtually no downtime!
