Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates collagen production and restores a firmer, more supple quality to aging skin. Sculptra is used to smooth skin and reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles by gradually restoring lost collagen in your skin, treating the underlying cause of facial aging.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra is formulated with poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA, a biocompatible and biodegradable compound that promotes the production of new collagen in your skin. As an injectable collagen stimulator, it goes a step beyond topical collagen treatments by stimulating collagen production deep within the dermal layers. After a series of treatments, you’ll notice the treated areas becoming firmer, and wrinkles and facial creases diminishing. Sculptra treatment areas include the following:
- Around the nose and mouth
- Cheeks and temples
- Chin and jawline
- Along the chest area or décolletage
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR SCULPTRA?
As your skin loses its firmness and elasticity, wrinkles, facial folds and creases become more and more apparent. You may be a candidate for Sculptra if you notice any these effects of aging on your skin.
Candidates who choose Sculptra are looking to regenerate collagen in their skin to slow the aging process and give their skin a boost. Sculptra may be a good choice for you if are in good health and desire these results:
- A subtle and gradual increase in facial volume
