Sculptra is a type of dermal filler. This cosmetic procedure uses FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid to reduce deep wrinkles in your skin. This filler is noninvasive. A provider will inject Sculptra into your skin. You can get back to normal activities quickly, but it may take four to six weeks to see full results after the procedure.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a type of bio stimulator, which is a cosmetic procedure to smooth fine lines and deep wrinkles by building your own collagen.
Sculptra is a substance made of poly-L-lactic acid. A provider will inject this filler underneath your skin where you want a fuller or smoother appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein in your skin — as well as in your connective tissues, bones and cartilage — that provides structure, support and strength.
