Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe, biocompatible, biodegradable substance used in medical applications for over 20 years (including dissolvable surgical sutures).
Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your body to rebuild lost collagen, improving the skin’s structure, thickness, and elasticity over time. It treats the root cause of volume loss rather than simply filling lines.
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) - Marionette lines (corners of mouth) -

- Adults experiencing facial volume loss, hollowing, or skin laxity

Sculptra is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for patients with autoimmune or bleeding disorders.
