Sculptra at a Glance

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike neurotoxins, which temporarily paralyze muscles, Sculptra gradually builds up collagen over time, providing a more natural and long-lasting result. The effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, making it a popular choice for those looking to address volume loss and deep wrinkles.

What to Know About Sculptra

Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin using a fine needle. The treatment typically involves a series of injections over several months to achieve the desired results. The initial effects may not be immediately visible, as the collagen production process takes time. Patients can expect to see gradual improvement over the course of 2-3 months, with full results typically visible after 6-12 months.
