​Sculptra is a type of facial injectable that is used to add volume to the face and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines. It is made a biocompatible material called poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the body's natural collagen production. Sculptra is a popular choice for those with volume loss and looking to achieve more youthful refreshed appearance without undergoing surgery.

​

• How does it work?

  • Collagen production in the body decreases as you get older and/or are exposed to the sun. Wrinkles are one of the first visible signs of this. SCULPTRA is injected into the deep layer of the skin where collagen naturally exists and is made. SCULPTRA works by initially filling a wrinkle with small PLLA beads. As the beads biodegrade the body may produce new collagen where SCULPTRA is injected 

​

• Why Sculptra? 

  • ​Sculptra addresses an root cause of facial aging, not just the symptoms. 

  • Not All Anti-Aging Treatments Are the Same: 

    • Collagen creams: Collagen creams do not fully penetrate to the dermis, so most topical treatments are effective as moisturizers that briefly improve the skin's appearance.

    • Collagen Supplements: When ingested, the digestive system breaks down collagen proteins and their effectiveness remains inconclusive.

    • Microneedling: addresses the top layer of collagen loss, skin texture, and fine lines but does not address volume loss.

    • Toxins: Toxins temporarily weaken muscles to minimize frown lines. Results typically last a couple months.

    • Fillers: Works immediately upon injection to fill in lines, wrinkles and folds.
