REPRODUCE LOST COLLAGEN WITH SCULPTRA

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that works within the deep dermis of the skin to help revitalize collagen production and restore the skin’s inner structure and volume. As the poly-L-lactic acid microparticles in Sculptra are absorbed in the skin, they help stimulate collagen growth. As a collagen stimulator, Sculptra is used to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds by restoring the deep, underlying structure of the skin. The revitalization of collagen production happens gradually, helping to restore facial volume and create a more firm and youthful appearance.

HOW SCULPTRA WORKS: REDUCE FACIAL LINES, WRINKLES, AND FOLDS

Poly-L-lactic acid in the Sculptra injections is a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic polymer that works with the body to reproduce lost collagen. One of the main reasons for visible facial aging, like wrinkles and sagging skin, is the loss of collagen, a key component in the skin. Collagen is an elastic protein that maintains skin shape and elasticity, while hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated. More collagen enables the presence of more elastin and hyaluronic acid, which in turn makes the skin more firm and hydrated. The results of using Sculptra can be seen after one treatment. Within a few weeks, the full effects of the treatment will be visible, and the results can last up to two years.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO SCULPTRA?

The risk of using Sculptra as a treatment for minimizing wrinkles, lines or furrows on the face are minimal. This is due to the fact that the main compound of Sculptra is synthesized from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material, which is already naturally present in the human body. If you have any issues with allergies or hypersensitivity to certain substances, we recommend you address this during your consultation at the clinic.
