Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers and similar injectables that focus on addressing the symptoms of aging (wrinkles and volume loss), Sculptra focuses on the cause of these facial changes. This injectable works on the framework of your cells and connective tissues to support collagen replacement. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that is non-toxic and has been used for sutures for decades. PLLA works with your body to revitalize the deeper skin tissues to restore a firm, youthful skin texture and volume. While Sculptra doesn’t provide an immediate outcome like other dermal fillers, it offers long-lasting, gradual and subtle results over time that help you improve your appearance discreetly.
