SCULPTRA

This is a synthetic injectable material known as Poly-L-Lactic acid. Derived from fruit acids, Sculptra is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable material that naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen. It is injected into the dermis of the skin in areas of fat and volume loss.  Collagen is also stimulated, thereby helping to increase the volume in the area. An average of two to three treatments are required, with each session lasting 20 - 30 minutes. Several treatments are usually required.

Sculptra allows our properly trained physicians to literally sculpt the face by restoring its natural contours and smoothing out wrinkles, creases and folds. It can be used in a wide variety of areas on the face. In addition to general volume restoration it can be of particular use in depressed areas of the temples, under the eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and under the chin.

It is necessary to have a consultation so that your needs and expectations, as well as the unique properties of Sculptra can be explained. Results can be evident for up to two years.
