This is an excellent choice for global volume restoration, improving skin quality, and using your body’s own natural processes to keep your face and skin appearing youthful. 

Sculptra® is a FDA approved injectable, made up of Poly-L-Lactic Acid, that is completely biocompatible and biodegradable. It works with your own body to rebuild lost collagen and gradually restore volume over time.

Why is Collagen so Important? Collagen is the main and most common structural protein for the skin. It’s what helps keep your skin looking youthful. After age 20, we begin to lose 1% of collagen per year. By age 45, we have lost up to 25% of collagen, and therefore, we are seeing wrinkles, folds, and a dulled skin appearance.

We have to restore what is lost to maintain youthful appearing skin and volume.

Everyone has different requirements, but on average 3 sessions are needed when you are first getting started with Sculptra. A good rule of thumb is a vial per decade of age, split into 2-3 treatments.

Treatments are performed every 6-8 weeks for a series of 3. It may be recommended to have a vial or two per year for maintenance after your initial series, depending on your aesthetic goals and provider recommendations.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite, CaHA, provides immediate volume correction, as well as long-term benefits by stimulating both collagen and elastin. It is FDA approved for use in the lower face and hands.
