Sculptra Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic restores your youthful appearance with natural-looking and long-lasting results!
There are many options when it comes to reducing the visible signs of aging — but there is nothing quite like Sculptra® Aesthetic. Referred to by some physicians as a "Face lift in a bottle", Sculptra® Aesthetic represents a new and unique non-invasive option that helps facial skin naturally regain a more youthful and natural-looking appearance.
What is Sculptra®Aesthetic?
It is a synthetic injectable material known as "poly-L-lactic acid." Poly-L-lactic acid is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). Poly-L-lactic acid has been widely used for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants, and other types of implants.

How does Sculptra® Aesthetic work?
It is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. Sculptra® Aesthetic provides a gradual increase in skin thickness by stimulating regrowth of you own soft tissue or collagen. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions. Sculptra® Aesthetic will not correct the underlying cause of the facial fat loss, but will help improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area.
Do I need a skin test before being treated?
No skin testing is required prior to use.
Are the results immediate?
No, results are gradual and take 8 to 10 months to see final results. However, we often see early responses within 6 to 8 weeks.
How long do Sculptra® Aesthetic treatments last?
The results usually last up to 2 years and often can extend to 3 to 4 years. When the results begin to wear off, it is a gradual process which can be reversed by a small amount of Sculptra® Aesthetic.
