What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a brand of dermal filler that is used for facial rejuvenation and volume restoration. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production in the skin.
What is Sculptra is primarily used for?
Facial Volume Restoration: Sculptra is commonly used to address volume loss in the face, which occurs naturally with aging. It can restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and hollowed areas, providing a more youthful and plump appearance.
Collagen Stimulation: Sculptra works by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. By promoting collagen synthesis, Sculptra can improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall quality.
Treatment of Deep Wrinkles and Folds: Sculptra can be used to minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Over a series of treatments, Sculptra gradually improves the skin’s texture and smoothens out these lines..
Which areas of the face is Sculptra used?
Cheeks: Sculptra can restore volume to the cheeks, addressing sunken or hollow areas. By adding volume, it helps create a more youthful and lifted appearance.

Jawline: Sculptra injections along the jawline can provide a subtle lifting effect and improve definition. It can help restore a more youthful and contoured jawline.
Marionette Lines: Sculptra can be used to minimize the appearance of marionette lines, which are the vertical lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin. It helps smooth out these lines and restore a more youthful facial contour.
Nasolabial Folds: Sculptra injections can help soften the nasolabial folds, which are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. By restoring volume and stimulating collagen production, Sculptra can reduce the depth and prominence of these lines
