Sculptra
An FDA-approved filler that stimulates the skin to produce its own collagen. Natural volume improvement lasting over 2 years.
What it is
| What it is | Sculptra is a bio-stimulatory collagen stimulator composed of PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid). Unlike typical hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra induces the skin to produce its own collagen over several months after injection. This results in a very natural outcome, with effects lasting an average of over 2 years. Its safety is recognized through FDA-approved ingredients, and it can be used for various areas such as sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, and volume loss in the temples. |

- When do the effects of Sculptra appear?
- Sculptra is a procedure where changes are observed over time rather than showing immediate volume changes. Since there are individual differences in the response timing and maintenance duration, it is recommended to check expected outcomes during consultation.
