Sculptra^® as a collagen biostimulator

Sculptra^® is a regenerative biostimulator that stimulates your skin’s ability to produce collagen and elastin, rebuilding your skin’s structure and increasing its natural firmness.^{1–4, 8-10}

Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deeper layers of your skin and is key for youthful-looking skin.¹¹ As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases. The loss of collagen will in time lead to loose and saggy skin, such as jowls, and the formation of facial wrinkles and folds.¹¹

Sculptra^® is the first proven regenerative biostimulator injectable that will renew your skin in a progressive way with natural-looking, long-lasting results, showing improvements for up to 2 years.^{7, 9,12-14}

Treatment areas

Treatment areas: Sculptra^® for jowls, cheeks, and chin

Sculptra^® can help to add volume and firmness to areas of your face that have become loose and saggy.^8-11 These treatment areas include jowls, cheeks, smile lines (nasolabial folds), laugh lines (marionette lines), and chin wrinkles.¹⁵ Sculptra^® regenerative biostimulator treatments help to stimulate collagen and elastin in your skin.^3,4

Sculptra^® for cheeks

As you age, your skin loses volume, which can result in sunken cheeks. This can be due to a loss of facial fullness, and bone resorption that comes with age.^16-18 Because of this, people often seek out collagen treatments to help add volume to their cheeks. Regenerative biostimulator injections, like Sculptra^®, help to stimulate your own collagen and elastin production contributing to a more youthful look.^3-5,9

Sculptra^® for jowls and chin

Your skin also loses some of its elasticity as you age, which alongside bone resorption, moving fat pads, and loss of volume higher up in the face, can result in a sagging jawline.^15–17 Sculptra^® can help stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin production in your face, helping to gradually rebuild your skin’s structural foundation.^{3-5, 10}

Sculptra^® for wrinkles, deep folds, and lines

Wrinkles on the face also come with aging, as changes to collagen, fat, and bone take place^.16-18 Wrinkles and folds, such as deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), and lines framing the mouth (marionette lines) can become more pronounced.¹¹Sculptra^® helps to improve skin thickness and increase skin firmness and has been found to help improve the appearance of wrinkles and folds^.1–5,8-10

light

How does Sculptra^® work to stimulate collagen?

The active ingredient of Sculptra^® is a poly-L-Lactic acid, PLLA-SCATM. PLLA-SCATM is a biodegradable substance that has been used for decades in dissolvable stitches for wound management.^15,20 When PLLA-SCATM is injected into the deeper layers of your skin, it helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen and elastin production.^1–4

This results in your skin’s inner structure being improved, and you will regain skin volume that has been lost due to aging.
