Sculptra stands apart from many other cosmetic treatments, given its unique approach to facial rejuvenation. Instead of simply filling wrinkles or lines, Sculptra works by reigniting the body's natural collagen production, which tends to decrease with age.

Poly-L-lactic acid, the main component of Sculptra, has been used safely in other medical applications for years, such as dissolvable stitches. When injected, Sculptra acts as a collagen booster. As your body absorbs the PLLA microparticles, it stimulates the growth of your own collagen. This helps to restore facial volume in a gradual, natural-looking way.

A notable advantage of Sculptra is its long-lasting effects. While some fillers last only a few months, results from Sculptra can last up to two years or more for many patients. However, it's worth noting that most patients need a series of treatments to achieve the desired outcome. The number of treatment sessions varies from person to person, depending on individual goals and the degree of volume loss.
