What it is

Sculptra® is an injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid, a material your body absorbs over time. It stimulates your skin's own collagen to help restore facial structure and smooth wrinkles. It's FDA-approved, has been used worldwide since 1999, and contains no human or animal components, so no allergy test is needed.

Is it right for you?

Sculptra® is a good fit if you've noticed volume loss, deeper smile lines or less firmness in your cheeks, and you'd like gradual results rather than an overnight change.
