Weight Loss

Sculptra is made with a biodegradable, biocompatible, synthetic substance called poly-L-lactic acid, which gradually helps trigger collagen growth and is eventually absorbed by the body. A trained specialist administers this injection through a series of treatments. First, the specialist injects treatments into the dermal plane, where collagen strands strengthen the structure of the skin, and Sculptra triggers the production of lost collagen over time.

Patients typically see results after a few months once their body has continued to produce collagen, repairing the skin’s structure. Multiple treatments are typically recommended to deliver more collagen-producing agents to selective areas. Results can last up to 2 years.

Patients often report side effects, including:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Injection site pain
• Bruising
• Itching and lumps
• Bleeding at the injection site

These side effects are not serious and do resolve within a short period of time.

Sculptra addresses why the face ages. While there is other anti-aging treatments one may choose from, Sculptra is the only one designed specifically to treat the causes of fine lines, volume loss, wrinkles, and skin elasticity. Additionally, results are long-lasting and give a youthful look without appearing unnatural.
