Sculptra - Long-Term Collagen Renewal
Sculptra® is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that stimulates deep-dermal fibroblast activity, promoting gradual collagen renewal and restoring tissue density over time.
Unlike fillers, Sculptra doesn’t add instant volume – it rebuilds your skin’s internal matrix progressively.
HOW IT WORKS
● PLLA microparticles trigger a controlled inflammatory cascade, encouraging collagen I and III synthesis.
● Over weeks, the biodegradable polymer is resorbed, replaced by new collagen fibres.
● Suitable for face, temples, jawline, neck, and body.
Onset : 6 – 8 weeks Peak : 3 – 6 months Duration : Up to 24 months
