Sculptra FAQs
As the poly-L-lactic acid microparticles in Sculptra Aesthetic are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production and restore volume and fullness to the face, smoothing shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, including:
- Smile lines at the corners of your nose
- Marionette lines at the corners of your mouth
- Chin wrinkles
Your Water’s Edge Dermatologist injects Sculptra within the deep dermis, where strands of collagen support your skin’s structure. A treatment regimen of Sculptra includes an average of three sessions over a period of three to four months. The number of sessions and injections vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen needs to be restored to achieve the desired result.
Sculptra works gradually over time, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance that can last up to two years.
