All About Sculptra®, How it Works, Results, and What to Expect
Sculptra is a FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid to reduce deep wrinkles in your skin. It is a type of dermal filler which is noninvasive. A healthcare expert will inject Sculptra into your skin. You can get back to normal activities quickly, but it may take four to six weeks to see full results after the procedure.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is a type of injectable dermal filler, which stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time.
Sculptra typically comes in the form of a clear, gel-like substance made of poly-L-lactic acid. Before injection, the liquid may be mixed with sterile water to create a smooth, injectable solution. A healthcare provider will inject this filler underneath your skin where you want a fuller or smoother appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. The final result is a natural-looking enhancement of facial contours and reduction in wrinkles.
