Sculptra Collagen Stimulator
Home »
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a collagen stimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles which means they can work deep within your skin to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. It also contains the unique PLLA that is proven to stimulate collagen Type I.
Sculptra works to improve facial wrinkles and skin thickness gradually over time, as it stimulates natural collagen growth for a more natural-looking appearance. It actively works to replace lost collagen, making it an excellent choice for those looking to achieve fuller, younger-looking skin.
How does Sculptra Work?
Sculptra is designed to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and lines. By stimulating collagen production, it helps restore this lost volume and improve the skin’s overall texture and appearance, giving you a more youthful look.
The primary ingredient in Sculptra is something called poly-L-lactic acid, which is biocompatible and biodegradable.
Once injected into the skin, it works deep within to revitalize collagen production, bringing about gradual and long-lasting improvements to your skin.
The treatment can provide a natural, more youthful appearance and delay the need for more invasive procedures such as facelifts.
It is a non-surgical, making it an attractive option for those who prefer to avoid surgery. The injections are minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime, and patients can typically resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
