Sculptra
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an advanced dermal filler treatment designed to restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and promote natural collagen production. At A New You Skin & Body Clinic, we offer expert Sculptra treatments to help you achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about Sculptra, including how it works, its benefits, the procedure, and aftercare.
Sculptra, also known as Sculptra Aesthetic, is an FDA-approved dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It is used to restore lost facial volume, smooth out wrinkles and folds, and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production to improve skin structure and elasticity.
How Does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. When injected into the targeted areas in the skin, the poly-L-lactic acid microparticles gradually dissolve and are absorbed by the body, triggering the production of new collagen. This collagen rebuilds the underlying structure of the skin, restoring volume and smoothing out wrinkles and folds over time.
Sculptra received FDA approval in 2009 and was approved for cosmetic use to correct shallow to deep nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Since then, Sculptra has gained popularity for its long-lasting, natural-looking results.
