Sculptra: They Key to Rebuilding Lost Collagen

In previous posts, we discussed the importance of sunscreen and other topical antiaging ingredients. Today, I wanted to touch on an injectable treatment intended to replace your lost collagen. Sculptra is the first FDA-approved collagen stimulator that helps revitalize collagen in the dermis with results lasting up to 2-3 years.

Sculptra is a biocompatible, biodegradable injectable material made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It is injected into the dermis and works by initially filling a wrinkle with small PLLA beads. As the beads biodegrade, the body gradually produces collagen where it is injected to improve facial volume and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Think of adding fertilizer to your lawn or growing from seed instead of sod. This new collagen firms the skin and creates volume rejuvenation, increased skin thickness, and overall improvement in texture.

If you are looking to appear more youthful without appearing like you have had work done, you may want to consider Sculptra as an option. Ask your aesthetic professional how Sculptra can elevate your antiaging journey.
