How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is an injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen stimulator derived from beetroot. When injected into targeted areas of your face, Sculptra encourages your body to produce collagen, which makes your skin look youthful. Collagen is a structural protein that adds volume to your cheeks and other facial regions while tightening your skin tissues.
The loss of collagen due to age, pollution, UV rays, and other factors leads to skin laxity and the eventual formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Sculptra restores your skin’s youthful levels of collagen, thereby reversing the signs of aging. Since Sculptra stimulates natural collagen production, the results last longer than most dermal fillers.
