Sculptra is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic biodegradable substance, to stimulate collagen production and gradually restore facial volume.

Sculptra works by injecting poly-L-lactic acid into the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in a fuller, more youthful appearance over time.

Sculptra results are not immediate; they gradually appear over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen.

The results from Sculptra can last up to two years or more as it helps to stimulate your body’s own collagen production.

Typically, patients require a series of treatments, often three sessions over a few months, but the exact number will vary depending on the individual’s needs and desired results.

There’s minimal recovery time needed after a Sculptra treatment. You might experience some swelling or bruising at the injection site, but these typically resolve within a few days.

The main difference between Sculptra and fillers is their mechanism of action. While fillers provide immediate results by physically filling in wrinkles, Sculptra stimulates your body’s collagen production for a gradual, more natural-looking improvement in skin volume and texture.
