Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), also known as the "liquid facelift," works by both filling in lines and wrinkles and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue, thereby creating a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy, is the loss of fat beneath the skin, which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes.

Sculptra is an injectable treatment that stimulates the growth of collagen, a protein that provides structure to the skin. Collagen production decreases as we age, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and a loss of volume. Sculptra is designed to address these concerns by helping to restore the underlying tissue and create a fuller, more youthful appearance.

During a Sculptra treatment, the injectable solution is carefully administered into the targeted areas using a small needle. The treatment itself is typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Over time, the Sculptra solution encourages the growth of new collagen fibers, gradually filling in lines and wrinkles and creating a more youthful-looking appearance.

One of the key benefits of Sculptra is its long-lasting results. Unlike many other injectables that may require touch-up treatments every few months, Sculptra can provide results that last up to two years or more. Additionally, because Sculptra works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production, the results tend to look very natural and subtle.
