What is Sculptra Aesthetic?
Sculptra is a facial injectable that works deep within the dermis to help replace lost collagen and gradually restore the look of fullness to areas of the face.The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which acts as a collagen stimulator, and works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. Rebuilt collagen strands begin to gradually restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
