Sculptra Cosmetic Injectable

Do you want to look refreshed and more radiant? Sculptra is the answer for you! Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable that can be used to restore facial volume lost due to aging or weight loss. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. It can be used to treat deep lines, creases, folds, and volume loss to give a more youthful appearance. It was initially created to treat facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people living with HIV. Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable that has been around since 1999. The FDA first approved it in 2004 to treat lipoatrophy in people living with HIV. Lipoatrophy causes facial fat loss that results in sunken cheeks and deep folds and indentations on the face. In 2014, the FDA approved Sculptra Aesthetic for treating wrinkles and folds on the face to give a more youthful appearance.

The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It’s classified as a collagen stimulator that provides long-lasting, natural-looking results that can last up to two years. Sculptra is safe and effective but isn’t recommended for people with allergies to any of its ingredients or those with medical conditions that cause irregular scarring. Primarily, Sculptra is used for facial rejuvenation, however, Sculptra has many off-label uses, including nonsurgical butt lift or give you a “liquid peach”, correction of cellulite, neck treatment, upper arm, elbow, knee wrinkles, and volume loss for the top of hands.
