What is Sculptra and how does it work?
Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler used to help restore volume to your face. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible synthetic material used for over 30 years in medical implants and other medical devices. Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra works gradually over time to stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production. This results in a youthful appearance that can last for up to two years.
Is Sculptra safe?
Sculptra is FDA-approved for treating facial lipoatrophy, a condition that causes loss of fat beneath the skin. It is also sometimes used off-label for treating wrinkles and other signs of aging. Sculptra is safe when used as directed by a qualified physician.
What are the side effects that can occur with Sculptra injections?
The most typical and common side effects of Sculptra are injection site reactions, such as pain, redness, swelling, and bruising. These side effects usually resolve on their own within a few days. Less common side effects include lumps or nodules under the skin, which may require treatment by a qualified physician.

- Natural-looking results
