For a youthful, firmer you, ask for Sculptra®
Sculptra activates the power of your skin by revitalizing collagen production.¹ With Sculptra, you will renew skin thickness and firmness and correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds.² Sculptra gradually builds the foundations of the youthful, firmer you, day after day.³
Why Sculptra?
Sculptra activates the skin’s ability to produce collagen, restoring the skin’s structure and renewing its natural firmness.4 Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deeper layers of your skin and is key in making your skin look young and healthy. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases. The loss of collagen will in time lead to loose and saggy skin and the formation of facial wrinkles and folds.5
Sculptra is the original collagen stimulator that will renew your skin in a gradual and long-lasting way by stimulating collagen production.6 Sculptra gives you control of your skin and the power to look as great as you feel.
TREATMENT AREAS
Sculptra brings volume and firmness to areas of your face that have become loose and saggy.7 Examples include smile lines (also called nasolabial folds), laugh lines (or marionette lines) and chin wrinkles. The treatment helps gradually replace lost collagen and results may last for more than two years.8 Sculptra will reinvigorate your skin and bring back your youthful appearance.
80% of users were still satisfied with their Sculptra treatment 25 months after their last injection, according to a clinical study.9
Your Sculptra treatment
Sculptra is injected in the deep layers of your skin to stimulate its own collagen production.10 You will gradually notice visible improvements of skin firmness and fullness, and results can last for more than two years.11 On average, three treatment sessions are needed over a few months.
Immediately after each treatment session, you may experience some swelling that will temporarily reduce wrinkles and folds. Thereafter, the gradual process of collagen replacement starts. Sculptra works subtly, improving facial areas gradually to give you a youthful and natural-looking result that lasts.
How it works
The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-Lactic acid, PLLA. PLLA is a biodegradable substance that has been used for decades in dissolvable stitches for wound management. When PLLA is injected in the deeper layers of your skin, it helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production.12 Thereby, your skin’s inner structure is improved and you will regain skin volume that has been lost to aging.13
