Sculptra 5ml
Sculptra is a next-generation collagen biostimulator designed to rebuild the skin from within. Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), it works deep in the dermis to restore facial volume, improve skin structure, and reduce visible signs of aging. By primarily stimulating the production of type I collagen, Sculptra targets the root cause of facial aging, leading to gradual, natural rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra’s effects develop over time, with results that can last up to two years. It is particularly effective for addressing volume loss, deep creases, scars, and skin depressions. Depending on the patient's needs, Sculptra can create a lifting effect for sagging skin or provide a subtle slimming lift in fuller areas. Additionally, Sculptra helps restore a youthful glow by renewing lost volume and improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Sculptra is supplied as a sterile powder, reconstituted with sterile water, and injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. Treatment typically involves 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results that evolve naturally and last long-term.
