Collagen stimulation is the difference
Facial collagen loss is a key factor in an aging appearance. Collagen acts as a support structure for your skin, provides overall volume and gives shape to your face. At about age 30, collagen loss decreases elasticity and moisture. Sculptra® Aesthetic stimulates collagen, helping to replenish lost volume.
The beauty of Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic, or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is a unique facial injectable that replaces collagen lost during the aging process. It is the only volumizer scientifically designed to stimulate natural collagen growth and lasts more than two years.
Decreased facial volume results from a loss of facial fat as we get older or lose weight. A youthful face has round cheeks, fullness under the eyes, at the temples, and around the mouth and chin. Traditional dermal fillers only address wrinkles, lines and folds – Sculptra® Aesthetic works differently. It replenishes lost volume by stimulating growth of your own natural collagen to treat underlying causes of facial aging.
Where is Sculptra® Aesthetic used?
- General loss of facial volume
- Deep folds between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds), also called smile lines
- The lines framing your mouth (marionette lines)
- Chin wrinkles
- Other facial wrinkles
Results that last more than two years
Sculptra® Aesthetic helps your body to regrow your own collagen over an extended period, so you can expect a subtle, steady improvement in lines and wrinkles. In pivotal clinical trials that measured reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, the results of Sculptra® Aesthetic lasted over two years compared to injected collagen, which lasted less than three months.
