SCULPTRA

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable cosmetic filler that is used to treat facial wrinkles and folds. It contains poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, leading to a gradual and natural-looking enhancement in facial volume and reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is often used for non-invasive facial rejuvenation and can provide long-lasting results.

Sculptra Vs. HA Filler

The main difference between traditional fillers and Sculptra lies in their composition and mechanism of action.

Traditional fillers, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, work by providing immediate volume to the treated area, offering instant results. They are often used to fill in wrinkles, lines, and areas with lost volume, providing immediate plumping and smoothing effects that can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the specific filler used.

On the other hand, Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the body’s own collagen production, resulting in a gradual increase in volume and improvement in skin texture over time. While the results of Sculptra may not be immediately noticeable, they tend to last longer, typically up to two years or more. Its gradual enhancement approach often leads to a natural and subtle transformation.

The choice between traditional fillers and Sculptra depends on the desired outcome, the area being treated
