Sculptra
The effects of time, environmental exposure, gravity, and genetics all contribute to the appearance of our skin and its architecture. Dermal fillers have revolutionized the way we are able to correct aging via simple injections. These quick, very low downtime procedures can restore volume, soften lines and wrinkles, redrape tissues, and enhance well-being.
Sculptra has a unique place among dermal fillers as it is composed of poly-L-lactic acid. This filler is considered a biostimulator. While its effects are much slower than traditional hyaluronic acid based fillers, it is remarkably effective in developing collagen and achieving smooth and extremely natural results.
