Sculptra®

What Is SCulptra®

Sculptra® Aesthetic is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid which acts as a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. In a more concise term, it is an injectable cosmetic filler that can be used to restore facial volume doe to aging skin by stimulating collagen production. Unlike traditional HA fillers, Sculptra® isn't adding hyaluronic acid to the area, it is adding poly-l-lactic acid which promotes collagen production over a period of months. While immediate results may be seen from the solution added, the best results are seen a few months from the treatmend date.

​

As a collagen stimulator, Scuptra® produces results over time and can last up to 2 years. Over time, the body naturally breaks down and removes Sculptra® which is excreted naturally by the body leaving new collagen in its place.

​

Most patients will require 2-3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.  Results may be noticed as soon as 6 weeks after the second treatment. All good things take time, including amazing results.

For the comfort of our patients, we add lidocaine to the product prior to administering the injections and also provide numbing cream.
