Derived from fruit acids, Sculptra is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable material known as poly-L-lactic acid that naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen.The result is a fuller, smoother, more youthful and natural-looking face with less pronounced lines, creases, wrinkles and folds. Sculptra results can last up to 2 years.

Sculptra allows to literally "sculpt" your face by restoring its natural contours and smoothing out wrinkles, creases and folds. Your physician and you will assess your needs and expectations, as well as explain the unique properties of Sculptra.

Sculptra is indicated for increasing volume of depressed areas, particularly to correct skin depressions in the areas of the temples, eye rings, cheeks, nasiolabial folds, marionette lines and chin.

The number of treatment sessions you require will depend on various factors such as your age, how deep your wrinkles are and the areas you wish to treat. At your initial treatment, we will determine with you, if and how many follow-up treatments may be required. Generally, Sculptra is injected in 3 treatment sessions over a 3- to 4-month period (at 4- to 6-week intervals). During this time unwanted deep lines and wrinkles gradually diminish as the skin firms-up as a result of the production of your own collagen.

You will be told to thoroughly massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times daily, for 5 days after each treatment to allow for the even distribution of the product and to ensure natural-looking results. Because the production of new collagen formation is gradual, each treatment session will yield results that are more noticeable. Of course, individual results may vary, and you may need touch-up treatments to maintain best results.
