SCULPTRA

Sculptra is a brand name for a specific type of dermal filler made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time.

Pros: Provides gradual, natural-looking results that can last up to two years. Stimulates collagen for long-term skin improvement.

Cons: Requires multiple treatment sessions to achieve desired results. Effects take weeks to months to become noticeable. More expensive than some other fillers.

Alternatives: Hyaluronic acid fillers (provide immediate volume but require more frequent touch-ups), fat grafting (longer-lasting volume restoration but more invasive).

Recovery Time: Minimal downtime, although there may be some temporary swelling or bruising after injection.

Disclaimer: Sculptra is a dermal filler, not a replacement for healthy habits. It requires multiple sessions and has a delayed effect. Discuss suitability and side effects with a healthcare professional before treatment.
