Sculptra
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a unique injectable that helps your skin make more of what it needs to look youthful—collagen. Instead of instantly filling lines like traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually over weeks to restore volume and smooth out deep wrinkles. The best part? The results look natural and can last up to two years.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is made with a substance called poly-L-lactic acid, which encourages your skin to produce fresh collagen. It takes a few treatments spaced out over a couple of months, but as your collagen builds, you’ll notice firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
What Areas Can Sculptra Treat?
Hollow or sunken cheeks
Temples that have lost volume
Smile lines (the folds running from your nose to mouth)
Marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of your mouth down)
Chin wrinkles
Jawline contouring to define your profile
