Sculptra is a brand name for a facial injectable containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance. Unlike fillers that add volume, Sculptra stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. This can offer subtle volumization, improve wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial definition.

Pros:
Gradual, natural-looking results
Long-lasting effects (up to two years)
Stimulates collagen production for improved skin quality

Cons:
Multiple injection sessions may be needed (spaced weeks apart)
Takes time to see full results (several months)
Can cause temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort

Alternatives: Hyaluronic acid fillers offer immediate volume improvement but have shorter lifespans.

Recovery Time: Downtime is minimal, with potential for temporary swelling and bruising.

Disclaimer: Sculptra is not suitable for everyone. A consultation with a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon is necessary to determine if it’s right for you.
