Sculptra is an injectable filler that can help add volume to your face and body, giving you a more youthful appearance. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance gradually broken down by your body and help smooth fine lines and wrinkles in your cheeks, and is different from other fillers because it works to stimulate your body's own collagen production. This can help provide long-lasting results, making it a popular choice for many people.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is an injectable that helps to start replacing lost collagen, giving you a more youthful-looking appearance. Unlike other fillers, Poly-L-lactic acid works with your body to start revitalizing collagen production, restoring your skin’s volume and inner structure.

This revolutionary treatment is excellent for restoring lost facial volume and treating shallow to deep nasolabial folds, as well as improving the appearance and increasing fullness in buttocks. In late April 2023, Sculptra was FDA-approved for a new purpose; treating fine lines and wrinkles in the cheeks, improving the quality of skin and delivering a firmer, stronger, and positively radiant look. With this new FDA-approval comes more opportunities for you to get back your youthful glow and put your best face forward.

Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic material that has been used safely in medical devices for over 30 years. Once injected, it helps stimulate your body’s own collagen production to gradually replace the lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid injectables are different from other dermal fillers because they provide a subtle, natural-looking result lasting up to two years or more. It is also the only filler that has been FDA-approved to correct the signs of facial fat loss, also known as lipoatrophy. Sculptra may be the right treatment for you if you’ve been looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to restore your skin’s volume and get a more healthy, youthful appearance.

What can Sculptra do?

Poly-L-lactic acid injectables can be used to improve the quality of life for people who have experienced volume loss or are looking to combat fine lines and wrinkles in their face or body.

Scultra can help to restore lost volume, improve the appearance of wrinkles and folds, and create a more youthful-looking appearance. Sculptra is made from a biocompatible material that is slowly absorbed by the body, so it is a safe and effective treatment option for many people. Sculptra can be used to:

Improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds
Restore lost facial volume
Create a fuller, more voluminous derrière
Provide a more youthful-looking appearance

Face

As we age, it's not just about wrinkles. We lose facial volume, too. Poly-L-lactic acid helps to replace lost facial volume, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance. Additionally, Sculptra has been FDA-Approved for use in correcting wrinkles and fine lines in the cheek area.

Body

As an alternative to a surgical butt lift, Sculptra can also be used to improve the appearance of the body by adding volume to the buttocks, for example, enhancing the shape and adding curves to your silhouette. This is also known as a Sculptra Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL.
