Sculptra

Sculptra Aesthetic is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid is safe — absorbed naturally by the body — and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.

Sculptra Aesthetic is used to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, which are treated with the appropriate injection technique.

Sculptra is generally well tolerated. Most side effects are mild to moderate and last 7 days or less. The most common side effects include temporary injection site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration.

Scupltra is indicated for use in people with healthy immune systems as a single regimen for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles.

After a Sculptra injection, you will typically see immediate results. However, because of swelling, you may see more fullness than the final results. Typically, final results appear in a minimum of 3 months.

Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last more than two years.

While pain tolerance between patients varies, there are many topical and infiltrative anesthetic treatments that can minimize the pain. With an anesthetic, most patients feel little to no discomfort.
