Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that helps your skin make more collagen, gradually smoothing lines, improving firmness, and enhancing glow for up to two years.
What is Sculptra?
Adults begin losing about 1% of their collagen every year starting in their 20s. This decline leads to fine lines, laxity, and changes in facial contour.
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), a biodegradable compound that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Once injected beneath the skin, it works in three key ways:
- Acts as a temporary framework: Microparticles of PLLA-SCA create a supportive scaffold under the skin.
- Stimulates collagen production: As the particles are absorbed, they activate fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) to rebuild the skin’s inner structure.
- Restores natural support: The new collagen network gradually improves firmness, volume, and skin quality, especially in the cheeks and along the jawline.
Unlike traditional fillers that simply add immediate volume, Sculptra encourages your body to restore itself from within.
