How Does Sculptra® Work?

Dermal fillers use a range of materials to enhance facial volume. Sculptra® is the only FDA-approved dermal filler that uses poly-L-lactic acid, a compound with decades of use in medical devices and safe for use in the skin. This compound provides a scaffold that your skin uses to build a stronger collagen framework, building natural volume over time for results that develop gradually with no abrupt changes in your appearance. 

What is Sculptra® Used For?

Its ability to increase collagen production makes Sculptra® useful in many areas. Its most common uses include:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Marionette lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Loss of cheek shape and definition
• Jawline sculpting
• Under Eye hollowness

Sculptra® can also be used to add volume to the buttocks and other areas of the body. It is the ideal filler for this purpose since it uses your body’s own collagen to create a shape that looks and feels natural. 

Only a consultation can determine whether Sculptra® is the right dermal filler for your needs and which areas it should be used to treat. People can receive Sculptra® in one area and a different type of filler in another area if needed since Sculptra® is not recommended for areas like the lips. Discuss all your concerns during your consultation so your Twin Ports Dermatology team can develop a treatment plan to address your goals.
