Sculptra (r) Aesthetic is a long-lasting cosmetic injectable, although its effects are not permanent. Permanent filler injections (usually made of silicone) are not suggested for facial rejuvenation in general since these materials do not change when the rest of the face ages. However, they may be useful in restoring volume to the cheeks and jawline after removal by plastic surgery. Injecting Sculptra into the skin makes it more flexible and likely to retain its shape over time. However, this effect does not last forever and after several years your doctor will need to re-inject it into your face. In addition, you should know that any injection into the face can cause problems with tooth formation if you're pregnant or breast-feeding. The use of Sculptra (r) Aesthetic in the lips is also limited because it will not soften or improve the look of stiffened tissues. This product is used to treat scars, but only certain types of scars respond well to treatment with Sculptra. If you get multiple treatments over time, your scar may begin to lighten and smooth out. However, this is not always the case and many patients find that their scars get darker instead. In conclusion, Sculptra (r) Aesthetic is used to treat scars and other deformities of the skin caused by injuries or disease.
