sculPtRA®
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved product made up of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). PLLA is a collagen stimulator that can improve the strength and tightness of our skin, giving us a natural and more youthful glow. It can smooth skin texture as well as contour the cheek and jawline regions. Sculptra® can improve hollowing of the temples, a sagging jawline, sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, wrinkles around the chin, and neck lines.
Sculptra® is a unique treatment that stimulates our own natural collagen production over time, thereby improving the look and firmness of our skin in a more natural way and providing long-lasting results.
Sculptra® is a wonderful product by itself, but can be also be used in conjunction with several other treatments such as neurotoxins and dermal fillers to achieve your skin goals.
