Collagen-stimulating injectable for gradual, natural volume restoration
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body's own collagen production over several weeks. This results in a slow, natural-looking restoration of facial volume that can last up to two years. Sculptra is ideal for clients looking to address age-related volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and lower face.
