Sculptra often falls into the category of dermal fillers; however, unlike dermal fillers, Sculptra is a collagen stimulator used to restore facial volume loss due to aging or illness. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance designed to stimulate collagen production. Sculptra can be used to restore areas of moderate to severe volume loss, deep lines, creases, and folds, giving you a more youthful appearance.
The Sculptra process takes several weeks, so the results are gradual. Patients often need 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, depending on the extent of volume loss. Once adequate volume is achieved, we recommend a maintenance treatment every 1-2 years thereafter to sustain ongoing collagen production.
Sculptra can be used as the "foundational filler," as it creates natural results and decreases the amount of dermal fillers needed in the future. We like to think of Sculptra as your 401K, as it offers more regenerative and restorative therapy with longer-lasting benefits. In contrast, dermal fillers are more like a checking account, where results are immediate but don't necessarily have the long-lasting benefits of collagen stimulators.
