SCULPTRA
Introducing
Sculptra is an injectable treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles that stimulate collagen production. Over time, it helps support the skin’s underlying structure and improve the appearance of facial volume loss and wrinkles.
Changes such as facial hollowing and reduced firmness can have several causes, including collagen loss. Sculptra may be considered after assessing how these changes contribute to your concerns.
Results develop gradually over weeks to months. Your physician evaluates facial balance, skin thickness, and the degree of volume loss to plan treatment areas, product quantity, and the number of sessions. Further treatment is adjusted according to your response.

Collagen Remodeling Through PLLA Microparticles
PLLA is a biodegradable material that gradually breaks down in the body. Once the prepared product is injected into the appropriate tissue, the response surrounding its microparticles stimulates collagen production.
Supporting Skin Structure
Collagen contributes to the skin’s shape and structural support. Newly formed collagen helps gradually improve the appearance of volume deficiencies and wrinkles.
Understanding Gradual Changes
Fullness immediately after treatment includes the effects of injected fluid and swelling. As these settle, the initial fullness may decrease before collagen-related improvements develop over the following weeks and months.
Adjusting Treatment to Your Response
Collagen production varies between individuals. Your physician monitors progress, adjusts subsequent treatment, and provides aftercare instructions appropriate to the treated areas.
