Sculptra is in injectable filler made from a safe, synthetic injectable material known as “poly-L-lactic acid.” This filler is ideal for replacing facial fat loss, which occurs as a natural result of the aging process. It works by increasing collagen production, gradually and significantly increasing skin thickness, especially along the cheeks. Since poly-L-lactic acid is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body), no skin test is required.
Sculptra can be used alone or in conjunction with other skin rejuvenation treatments, such as BOTOX Cosmetic , and other dermal fillers. It also effectively restores facial volume in patients who have had face lift cosmetic surgery. We will be happy to explain your options during your skincare consultation and put together a treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals. While the improvements from Scupltra can last as up to 2 years, it is not a permanent filler. Many Los Angeles and Marina Del Rey Sculptra patients return periodically for maintenance treatments.
