What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is taking the aesthetics industry by storm… but what is Sculptra? With its powerful, bio-remodeling technology, this is a revolutionary cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, this product works gradually to restore the skin’s structure and improve its overall quality.
What is it?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic substance. PLLA has been used in medical applications for decades, including dissolvable stitches. In this context, it acts as a collagen stimulator, encouraging the body to produce its own collagen over time.
How Does It Work ?
When injected into the skin, Sculptra’s PLLA particles are absorbed by the body, triggering a natural response to produce collagen. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure, elasticity, and strength to the skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of volume. Sculptra addresses these issues by rebuilding the skin’s foundation from within.
The treatment typically involves multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Results are not immediate but become noticeable as the body produces new collagen. The effects can last up to two years or more, making it a long-lasting solution for facial rejuvenation.
What Is It Made From?
Sculptra’s primary ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is a synthetic polymer derived from lactic acid. It is both biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning it is safe for use in the body and naturally breaks down over time. The injectable solution also contains sterile water and other components to ensure smooth application.
