Discover the Power of Sculptra

Our expert team, led by the renowned Leah Michel, combines artistry with advanced techniques to deliver exceptional results.

The Sculptra Advantage

How Sculptra Works

Sculptra is a game-changer in the world of aesthetic treatments. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production. Sculptra works with your body to stimulate collagen production. The poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) in Sculptra forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin's inner structure, which may lead to a more youthful-looking appearance. When injected into the skin, Sculptra stimulates the production of collagen, the essential protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. As the collagen rebuilds, you will notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial volume. Recent research has shown that Sculptra injections can significantly increase dermal thickness and improve skin quality (Goldie et al., 2021).

Poly-L-lactic acid-based treatment gradually restores facial volume, resulting in a more youthful and natural-looking appearance that can last up to two years. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that poly-L-lactic acid injections can significantly increase dermal thickness and improve overall skin quality, with effects persisting for up to 48 weeks post-treatment (Palm et al., 2021). This gradual and long-lasting improvement in facial volume and skin quality contributes to the natural-looking results that many patients desire.

Sculptra's versatility makes it an excellent choice for addressing various signs of aging. Common treatment areas include:

By targeting these key areas, Sculptra helps restore facial contours and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
