Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that targets facial volume loss. Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates offers personalized Sculptra injections to stimulate collagen production and restore youthful facial contours for natural-looking results.
Stimulate Collagen Production And Restore Facial Volume
Sculptra is a revolutionary injectable aimed at replenishing lost facial volume, a common sign of aging. It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible synthetic material, which works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, gradually restoring fullness. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra’s results are not immediate but develop over several months, offering a natural and long-lasting outcome. Sculptra addresses deep wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas, helping you achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Sculptra Treats:
- Facial volume loss due to aging
- Deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines
- Hollow areas, including cheeks and temples
- Sagging skin around the jawline and chin
- Overall facial contour issues
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra operates through its active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which acts as a collagen stimulator. Once injected, PLLA microparticles prompt a natural response from the body’s dermis, gradually encouraging collagen production. Over time, this newly generated collagen restores lost volume and improves skin texture. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that offer immediate results, Sculptra produces gradual results, ensuring a subtle and natural outcome. This approach addresses visible signs of aging and promotes long-lasting improvements.
