This advanced biostimulator injectable is more than a filler; it’s a collagen regeneration treatment designed to rebuild the skin’s structural foundation.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe, biocompatible material that has been used in medical applications for a long time. Unlike traditional fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra® stimulates your skin to rebuild its collagen, restoring structure and firmness from within.
When placed into the dermis, the PLLA microparticles act as a subtle scaffold, activating fibroblasts (the skin’s natural collagen-producing cells) to gradually reconstruct the supportive matrix beneath the surface.
This process unfolds in two key phases:
- Initial Effect: The injected solution creates a temporary plumping that fades within a few days.
- Ongoing Renewal: Over the following months, new collagen forms, producing a progressive, natural-looking lift and improved skin texture.
Because Sculptra® addresses the underlying cause of volume loss rather than masking it, results emerge gradually yet last far longer, often up to two years or more when performed as a properly spaced treatment series.
